Liebster Award

We were lucky enough to be nominated for the Liebster Award by Sierra Rose of Pay With Polka Dots! I'm relatively new to blogging so I didn't know of this until recently, but I've learned that the Liebster helps to share blogs with less than 200 followers, and it's exciting to be a part of it.  The basic guidelines are to nominate 11 blogs, ask 11 questions, respond to the 11 questions from your nominator, and then post 11 extra facts about yourself.


Here are the links to 11 blogs that you should check out:

10) I love peppermint and all peppermint-related products.
11) I'm dreadful at competitive sports, but I like independent activities like running and dancing.

And here are my answers to the 11 questions from Sierra Rose:

  8. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? My home.  I love it.
