Liebster Award

 

About a week ago I was nominated for the Liebster Award.  Yup, I had to google it too! The word Liebster is German and means dearest or lovely.  The award is given to newer bloggers with less than 200 followers and provides a nice way for bloggers to meet. While this isn't a real award, it was still nice to be recognized.

 

So if it isn't a real award, what is it?  I suppose you could call the Liebster a bloggers chain letter.  I am not much of a chain letter person, but I didn't want to be a party pooper either, so I am excepting this nomination from Christina at Home With My Tots.  Thank you Christina for the blog love!

 

OK so there are some rules that apply when accepting this award.

 

     Create a post containing the following information:

     *Link back to the blog that nominated you

     *Nominate 5 - 11 new bloggers who have 200 or less followers (This is harder than it sounds!  I am not sure how you are suppose to know how many followers someone has, and also not sure how they are defining "new" bloggers, so I am just picking ones I like that might qualify.)
     *Answer the questions posted for you by your nominator

     *Share 11 random facts about yourself

     *Create 11 questions for your nominees to answer

     *Contact your nominees and let them know that you have nominated them

 

OK so here we go...

Questions For Me to Answer

1. What is your favorite TV show? I have a few I really like, but right now it is probably So You Think You Can Dance.  I also am in love with Downton Abbey.

2. Have you ever traveled to another country? Yup. Several times.
3. Name something you love about yourself?  Well hard to answer this while being humble, but I guess I would have to say my hair.  I love the color and sheen it has.
4. What is your favorite color?  Blue...no wait...green....uh, nope it's blue

5. Who is your favorite President?  I can honestly say I have never thought about this before!  I do like how humble and honest George Washington was.  Our nation would be very different if he hadn't been so humble.
6. What is your favorite type of food?  If I am being good it is fruit (any kind), if I am being bad it's brownies... we are talking serious weakness
7. Do you believe in ghosts?  No I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe in spirits (angels and demons)  This answer will probably surprise my family.
8. If you had only one day left to live and you knew about it what would you do?  Spend it with my family and not let go of my kids.
9. What is your favorite sport?  Swimming
10. Do you fold your pizza in half, keep it flat or eat it with a fork and knife?  I float back and forth between folding and eating it flat. Depends on where we get it.
11. What is the craziest thing you have ever done?  Hmmm I am very grounded and would NEVER do anything crazy.  ;)
