Liebster Award Nomination

Last week I was excited to learn that I have been nominated for the Liebster Award.... Twice by two different bloggers!

Thank you Meredith at Unoriginal Mom who nominated me on March 12, 2013

And

Alice at For The Love of Alice's Family. who nominated me on March 13, 2013

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. 

Rules

     1. Thank your Liebster Award presenter on your blog and link back to their blog.

     2. Answer the 11 questions from the nominator, list 11 random facts about yourself and create 11 questions for your nominees.

     3. Present the Liebster Blog Award to 11 blogs of 200 followers or less whom you feel deserve to be noticed and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they have been chosen.

     4. Copy and paste the blog award on to your blog. It is an award so show it off...Wink-Wink.

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.

I do not like cooking especially when I have an outdated small kitchen.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.

Some place warm and sunny. Close to a lake or ocean.
