This is what the Liebster Award is all about. Bloggers offering support to other bloggers. The Liebster Award recognizes bloggers (usually baby bloggers) that are in the beginning phases of building a social media following.
I want to thank Heather from Woods of Bell Trees for nominating me.
The Official Rules Of The Liebster Award
If you have been nominated for The Liebster Award AND YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT, write a blog post about the Liebster award in which you:1. thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.
2. display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)

4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.
5. nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)
6. create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.

8. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)
If you were nominated and use these rules make sure to link back to Wording Well as it was her hard work that went into making these easily available for us.
Heather's Question:
1. What nationalities are in your makeup?
I am Caucasian, African American, and Native American
2. What is your biggest dream/what would you like to accomplish?
What I want to do with my life is constantly changing. I just know that when I am on my deathbed, I want to look back and be proud of the life I have lived.
3. What has been your biggest blogging challenge?
Discipline has been my biggest challenge. Even though I love being my own boss, I am too laid-back to stay on regular blogging schedule. I hope to change that really soon 🙂
4. What is the most unusual food that you love?
Pickled Tomatoes. And I'm bummed because I can't find them anywhere.

Sugar Cookie Designing! I love when people ask me to make cookies, because I can get really creative.
6. Do you watch more TV, Netlfix or Hulu?
Right now, TV, but that's mostly because my internet connection is terrible. Otherwise I would be wasting way too much time on Netflix.
7. Do you have kids or do you want kids? If so how many do you want or have?
I have 1 amazing little 3 year old. I'm really hoping that I can be blessed with 2 more.
8. What is your favorite nerdy character in comics, TV or movies (ie, like Doctor Who, Superman etc)?
I love Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory
9. If you could visit any country which one would it be and why?
I would visit France because they have over 400 different types of cheese. I LOVE cheese 🙂
10. Do you DIY? If so what has been your favorite project big or small?
I love do it yourself projects. So far my favorite things have been making my own cleaning products.
11. Do you have pets? How many and what breeds? If you don’t have pets would you like one, and what kind?
I have a boxer, but he's really my Dad's. I'm not really a pet person, but I'm sure that's going to have to change since my little guy loves animals.
