Thank you! Thank you!

Last week, I was honored to receive two awards!!! Coming from two Montessorians, I'm flattered!

The "Wild About Your Blog" award is from Leptir

I am an avid follower of her blog, so I am so happy that she nominated Raising Ian.

Maria at Forskoleburken passed me the "Versatile Blogger" award. She is a preschool teacher working in a Montessori school and sharing her experience in her blog. It is somewhat new to me, however, I am really enjoying it as well. Be sure to check out her blog, too.
 

  

The Versatile Blogger has these rules:

Rule Number 1. Thanks the person who gave you the award! Thank you, Thank you!!
Rule Number 2. Share 7 things about you

1. I am 38 years old
2. I am a very shy and introspective person.
3. When I met my husband, we both thought our relationship was "almost impossible" because I'd been living in Chile and he'd been living in Uruguay. One year and a half after, I moved to Uruguay to live with him.
4. I spent the two last months of my pregnancy in Chile while my husband was working in Uruguay. He arrived to Chile 6 hours before Ian's birth without knowing I had already gone into labor. How lucky we were!!!
5. Ian was born on the same date that my father died, 20 years ago. One reason more for naming my son "Ian", which means "Gift of God".
6. I just discovered "Raw Food" and I am very happy to eat such delicious and healthy food.
7. Today is the first day of  an Online Teacher Training course, hosted by Karen Tyler who is the founder and instructor for Montessori Worldwide Album Class and runs A Montessori Marketplace. I am very excited!!!

Rule Number 3. Pass the award to 15 bloggers you've recently discovered and think are FABULOUS!

The thing number 8 of me is I am very bad following rules. I will pass the award to 10 blogs:

• LaPaz Home Learning 
• Homemade Homeschool
• Make of Montessori Mom
• The Magic Onions
• Olives and Pickles
• Let the Children Play
• Montessori Beginning
• Itty Bitty Love
• Mama Jen
• The Education of Ours

A BIG thank you

My blog was recently given a special award and I just wanted to say a belated  but BIG thank you.

 
Here are the rules of the award:

Rule number 1: Thank the blogger who awarded it to you.

A huge thank you goes out to Olives and Pickles. It makes me feel so good to know that you are appreciating what I do.

Rule number 2: Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five words.

"RECORD and SHARE our JOY of LEARNING TOGETHER"

Rule number 3: Pass it on to 10 other blogs which you feel have real substance.

It is the hard part. Olives and Pickles have passed the award to six of my favorites blogs. So, I just will give it to four:

The Work Plan
Leptir
Montessori+Genzaemon
My Montessori Journey

Outstanding Blogger Award

Many thanks to Discovering Montessori over at The Work Plan for giving me the "Outstanding Blogger Award". I love your blog and you are so nice at leaving comments. Check out her blog if you haven't already done so. She is a childcare group home provider using the Montessori Method and you can learn a lot following her observations and the activities she has set up for her children.

The rules to accept the award are:

1. Say thanks to the person who gave me this award.
2. Share seven things about myself

1. I am Peruvian, my husband is Australian and my son is Chilean
2. I have a Masters Degree in Computer Science based in Artificial Intelligence and Databases
3. I have a twin sister living in Chile and she looks a lot like me
4. I just speak a little English, so my husband sometimes helps me with the translations
5. I really enjoy being a housewife and not going to work - raising my child is the most demanding and rewarding experience of my life
6. I enjoy trying to live "better" - refraining from eating meat, growing our own fruit and vegetables, and developing myself spiritually
