Way, way back in November of last year I was nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by Mariely from Sensational Creation. And, yes, I am just now sharing about it. It happened while my husband was having surgery and I was on a blogging break, then there was Christmas, my birthday, I got my wisdom teeth removed and here we are in March. Ok, so that was the long way of saying I am a procrastinator.
If you are unfamiliar with the award, the word “ Liebster” is German for “favorite,” so this is a Favorite Blog Award. The Blog Award is given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers, which I think is great because it recognizes new talent, and is a way to encourage others. I love this award because when you are chosen for the award you get to share a little about yourself, through 11 random facts and answer 11 question from the person that nominated you. It’s an awesome way to get to know each other better.
It doesn’t stop there. Now, I nominate 11 people, so I get to pass on the love and introduce you to some of my favorite up and coming bloggers.
11 Random Facts
I am the oldest of 4 sisters, and very much a daddy’s girl.
I can’t sing or dance, but you will often find me doing both in the kitchen listening to the radio.
When I was a kid, I won a gold medal in the state games for my division in Taekwondo.
I hate, hate, hate carrots! Don’t tell my son.
I learned to cross-stitch when I was 7 years-old.
I met my husband while I was in high school, and have been with him ever since.
We eloped when we were 20 and will be married 5 years this June.
I love being a stay-at-home-mom, but if I was anything else I would want to be a political science teacher.
We are saving for a house right now, and hope to buy a small farm one day soon.
I love old vintage things.
My most cherished piece of jewelry (besides my wedding ring) is my pearls.

6) Favorite actor or actress and favorite singer. Zooey Deschanel
7) If you could live anywhere, where would it be? So, probably Alaska, because my dad and husband are bound and determined to live there, so I guess I should follow. I like where I live now though, it’s home, and I can be in the mountains or at the beach in a matter of no time. I love that.

9) What’s your favorite color? Purple or Red. I go back and forth and I like turquoise a lot too.
