Liebster Award

The Liebster Award

by Leave a Comment

I’ve been nominated for the Liebster Award by Fine Frugality. If you haven’t stopped by Fine Frugality in a while you should. She has been very busy de-cluttering during the month of May (I know I need to do it too) and is pretty busy exercising her powers of frugality day in and out.

The Liebster, which means favorite in German, is a way to recognize your favorite blogs that have fewer than 200 followers. What a great way to get the word out about up and coming blogs!

When you receive the Liebster award, you are supposed to do the following:

  •  Choose five up and coming blogs to give the Liebster award to.  Blogs must have less than 200 followers.
  •  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 a comment on their blogs to let them know they’ve received the award.
  •  Share five random facts about yourself.

I am picking 5 blogs (with less than 200 followers) that I have recently discovered. If they are new to me they will be new to you too, right?

  1. Veggies Not Wedgies-Aly shares her family’s journey beginning a plant-based and gluten-free diet.
  2. 12for2012– This is unlike any blog I have read. This blog choronicles the bloggers attempt to learn 12 new things and do 12 charitable deeds this year.
  3. Vegan Sparkles – Rebecca post awesome recipes and witty repartee, she is a brilliant photographer as well.
  4. The Educated Life-Clara shares reflections as a busy wife, mom and Ph.D. student.
  5. Toxic Vegan-What can I say, she had me at Toxic Vegan. I love this authentic blog about good and not so good for you food.

I also have to share 5 random fact about myself.

  1. When carrying groceries into the house I’ve been kicking off my sandal and opening the door with my foot. (I’ll also headbutt the button to close the garage door).
  2. It drives me crazy to start a movie and not finish it, it doesn’t matter how horrible the movie is, I need closure.
  3. There is a 15 year age difference between me and my husband.
  4. I got certified to scuba dive when I was a teenager but only got to go a few times. It was never anywhere tropical, mostly lakes in Oklahoma.
  5. I am a horrible housekeeper, I have to invite people over regularly as an incentive to keep things tidy. Having two little Tarzan’s determined to work against my progress doesn’t help.
