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.

There you have it, 44 blogs that have been chosen for this Liebster Award. It took me all weekend to find blogs that have 200 or less followers. Majority of them I am following on bloglovin. With the switch over to Bloglovin, I wonder if this award will change the rules. Either way, I looked at both the GFC and the Bloglovin numbers. You could do what ever floats your boat.
