The Liebster Award

Last Sunday morning, I woke up to the most wonderful surprise.  Lauren from Stylelixir nominated me for the Liebster Award! Oftentimes, it is easy to feel a little insecure about putting yourself out there for the world to see; but when you get recognized by one of your peer, it eases your mind and lets you know you are doing something right. Thank you so much Lauren!
What is the Liebster Award? It’s an award for new, up and coming bloggers who have great potential. The word ‘Liebster’ is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lonely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. I am beyond thrilled and honored to accept this award and have now nominated 11 other bloggers who I believe deserve a Liebster Award too!
These are the rules should you choose to accept the award:
  • Thank your nominator and link back to the nominators blog in your post
  • List 11 things about yourself
  • Answer the 11 questions I have created for you (below)
  • Create 11 questions for your own nominees
  • Nominate 11 fabulous up and coming blogs with less than 200 followers, tag them in your post and let them know you have nominated them for the Liebster Award!

Eleven Random Things About Me:
