i cannot believe it has taken me
this long to finally write this post because i was beyond excited when i first heard the news. first hearing it, was out of the mouth of my big sissy over at
nugget on a budget when she was nominated herself,
twice! how cool and what an amazing honor.
of course i am getting ahead of myself here.
what i am talking about is the Liebster Blog Award!
to give a little 4-1-1 about this very special news, the Liebster Blog Award is for blogs with fewer than two hundred followers (which is this little chickey right here). it is an amazing way to get to know other blogs, become friends, and support each other in every way.
how it works
- post five random facts about yourself.
- answer the questions the nominator has asked you and ask your own five questions to the people you nominate.
- choose five other deserving blogs with less than two hundred followers to nominate and link to their blogs in our post.
- tell the nominees you have chosen them for this award by leaving a comment on their blogs.
..oh, and no tag backs!
a little bit random but...
1...i hate odd numbers. there is just something about them i just don't like. eating cookies, got to have two or four, never three. a nice even number just makes more sense.
2...i danced from the time i could walk until i graduated from high school. doing so led me to a lot of opportunities including a two week tour in europe performing and taking classes.
3...my very best friend has the exact same name as me.
4...i could never be happier then when i am at home.
5...my favorite color is yellow.
now, questions from my norminator...
1. Who was your favorite athlete in the London
2012 Olympics and why?
hands down, michael phelps. once a phelps phan, always a phelps phan, end of story.
2. In the past year, what was the most expensive
item that you splurged on?
my michael kors purse, graduation present to moi.
3. What is you favorite place to visit in the
United States and why?
bethany beach, DE. it has been our family vacation spot my entire life and there is no place i would rather be.
4. If you attended college, what did you major in?
If not, what made you choose the job that you currently have? (Oh, and being a
stay-at-home mom IS a job!)
i majored in elementary education, minor in early childhood education.
5. Why did you decide to start a blog? (Yes I know
repeat question, but you have to admit it's interesting!)
i started a blog as a way to get out my thoughts and because i have always loved to write. not to mention i was told that i couldn't do it, and there is nothing more motivating then making the "impossible", possible.
and now, my nominees are...

1. why did you decide to start a blog? (i know it is a repeated question but i think it is interesting to hear how people decide to start their blogs)
