Liebster Award

[pinit]So far I absolutely loooove the blogging world! Everyone I have met in Cyberland is so friendly and helpful! And, my newest friend, Sarah at One Active Mama is no exception. 🙂 She was so very sweet to nominate me for the Liebster Award! What is the Liebster Award, you may ask? Funny thing is.. I asked the same thing! Basically, the Liebster Award is a way for Bloggers to “Pay it Forward“.  You have the opportunity to shine the light on someone else and then almost like a mirror effect, the light shines back at you.  Total Win-Win, if you ask me! That being said, I encourage you to take a moment and check out Sarah and her adorable little girl, Isabella.  But, you better move quick, because they are on the move at One Active Mama!

Now, let’s delve right into how this all works.. 😉

Here are the rules of the Liebster Award:

1. Link back to the person who nominated you.
2. Answer the questions given to you by the nominator.
3. Nominate up to 11 other bloggers with less than 200 followers.
4. Create 11 questions for the nominees.
5. Notify all nominees via social media and/or blogs.

And, now here are my questions: 😉

1. How long have you been blogging and why did you start?

I started blogging in June. One of my biggest dreams has always been to be a writer.  So, I saw this as a great opportunity to give way to that dream. 🙂
