What is the Liebster Award?
In
the blogging world it is an award for new bloggers who are just starting out.
This award gets passed around by other bloggers who were nominated and they
nominate other new bloggers. This helps getting the new blogs noticed. Pretty
cool, huh? Basically, the purpose of the Liebster Award is to get blogs with less than 200 followers noticed.
Whew! This is a long post and I finally got it done. I follow theses blogs and really enjoy each of them. There is a variety of them. Be sure to check them out and show some love.
Don't forget to grab your Liebster Award button!
Again, big thanks goes out to Meredith at Unoriginal Mom and to Alice at For The Love of Alice's Family.

Questions from the Nominator
Because I had two people who nominated me for this award, I
will answer their questions separately.
The first one will be Meredith from Unoriginal Mom. Instead
of doing the 11, she chose to do only 4 questions, 4 random facts and 4
nominees. She was nominated by three separate blogs and thought it would be
best to shorten it up a bit.
Now on to the questions she has for the nominees…
1. Who, in your life, has influenced or inspired you the
most?
I would have to say my friends and family. I really don’t
have just one person that has influenced me. Everyone in my life has influenced
and inspired me in a positive way.
2. What is your favorite go to recipe?
I do not like cooking especially when I have an outdated
small kitchen. So my favorite go to recipe is slow cooker recipe. I like
throwing all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and then forget about.
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you
want to live?
Some place warm and sunny. Close to a lake or ocean.
4. If you could meet any celebrity, who would you want to
meet?
Sandra Bullock. She is simple.

1. What is your favorite cartoon or comic?
I don’t have a favorite.
2. If you could be an animal, what would you be?
A bird so that I could fly high in the sky when ever I felt
like it.

Art and History
4. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you
want to live?
Some place warm and sunny. Close to a lake or ocean.
5. If you had the time, would you write a book?
No. I think that it would be too formal for me…lol!
6. What is your favorite song?
It changes from time to time. Right now it is Madness by
Muse
7. What is your favorite game?
UNO
8. If you won a million dollars, what is the first thing you
would buy?
Have a house built with all of the customs that would fit
our needs as a family.
9. How long have you been blogging?
I just started in January of 2013.
10. Do you use a bookmark or do you fold the page?
I do both.
11. If you won a vacation, and the hotel was located deep in
the ocean, where you had to stay a week would you go? And why?
I would. Because it would be a different and unique
experience.
