Inspirational.....





Mike at Mike's Homefront has given me this award. I know you're thinking "Another one?" Well it would be rude to refuse and it will look lovely on my sideboard sidebar so I am accepting it with open arms.

I have to pass it on and I will try to choose bloggers who haven't already received it, so here goes.

Another Tangential Thinker- Get's you thinking.
Flowerpot Days - Always has something interesting to say.
Skittles - A blog full of everything.
Us Danes and Our Family - lots of stuff going on here.
Pig In The Kitchen - a great read plus recipes for those with allergies.
A Place I Call Home - interesting, funny and real.
Cursuum Perfidio - A fantastic wordsmith.

buffalodick said...

Thanks for sharing the info about yourself! I would like to ask a question about your blog- it must take 3 times longer to get on it than any other blog I go to- would you know why?

Akelamalu said...

Thaks Bella, I look forward to reading your responses to the meme. :0

Akelamalu said...

buffalodickdy Are you using Firefox? Some readers using it say it takes a long time to load, you could try using IE. Sorry, other than that I can only presume it's because my blog contains so much rubbish! :)

I am kind of in disagreement with you on the baby smell thing...some of them smell absolutely horrible!

Congrats on your new award. You absolutely deserve it!

Loved your answers and definitely plan on borrowing the list myself. What fun!

josie2shoes said...

Very fun read, Ake! It was great to get to know you a little bitter, and I could see your wonderful sense of humor shining thru. Meme's are always fun... try my latest one!

Neoma said...

Hi Akela, good to be back and able to do a little blogging again. Although I will have to be careful, I will just sit here all day if I let myself. It is so much easier on me than what I would be doing if I weren't blogging, haha.

I love reading about people, but hate writing about myself. It is like having my picture taken, which I avoid.

Tammy said...

Congratulations on your award!
As for your name...I think it is exotic...I think of the beautiful ocean when I think of your name!
Loved your meme and getting to know you better!
