Ahhh!! I am back from my week long trip to Florida, stay tuned this week for the full details of the beautiful sun, much needed sister time, and a complete meltdown..here is a hint..the melt down involved me crying into the shoulder of my step mom ( yep..a mommy meltdown)!!
Now onto some exciting news 🙂
I was awarded The Liebster award!!!
The Liebster award is given to (and from) smaller bloggers, less than 200 followers (although a lot of times, the recipients have a lot more than that, but still considered small Think small business compared to big box)
It is a way to spread the word and recognize us little guys. Thank you
Linda, Author of My Crafty Home Life blog, I’m honored to be in such great company!
Apparently there are five rules that need to be followed by those of us who accept this award:
-
Choose five up-and-coming blogs to award the Liebster to. These five blogs must have fewer than 200 followers.(orrrr..just an up and coming)
-
Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
-
Post the award on your blog.
-
List the bloggers you gave the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blogs so they know about the award.
-
Share 5 random facts about yourself.
Here are my 5 random facts about me:
1. My nose, my ears and my belly button are/were all pierced. I took out the belly ring when I got pregnant, still have my ears pierced and miss my nose piercing all the time ( I had to take it out at my last job)
2. I do a little joy dance and usually cant believe it, when I get a comment on my blog, from someone other than a friend or family member.
3. I dream of my success ALL the time, I meditate about it, I journal about it, I visualize it, and I believe I will create what I want. ( this includes family success, as in another baby,Success in Business, and my role as a mom ,wife, good friend..)
4.My voice raises at least 5 octave’s when I talk to my closest girlfriends on the phone
( Kisha, Katie, Sunshine to name a few..)
5. I was chosen to be part of an international dance team to perform in Paris when I was a senior in High school with my friend Heather Seybert, but that year, Paris flooded and the parade was cancelled, and it was a good thing, because we didn’t raise enough money to get there!!
Now for my Five Liebster recipients….this was hard, because many of you girls have more than 200 followers, and you are all rising stars, all on the verge of GREAT success, actually many of you have achieved many great success’ already!;

SO there you have it, my list of 5…although, I would have loved to add at least 5 more..I wonder if there is a rule as to how many days in a row you can give out this award?? hmmm….anyway, as I said, the five lovely ladies above, have already had great success, and I would love for you to support them too 🙂 There is “ENOUGH” for all of us, and its always nice to give and receive a little love from a fellow blogger!!
