Thanks to my best friend/un-biological twin and fellow
blogger Briana, I have been nominated for the Liebster Award. I am still a
little inkling of blog and still trying to figure out the blogging world, so I was
excited when she nominated me.
This award is for beginning bloggers (under 200 followers). It is a great way to discover new blogs!
Here are the rules:
- If you have been nominated, you must write 11 facts about yourself
- Answer the 11 questions your nominator has given you and write 11 questions for your nominees
- Nominate and tag 5-11 other blogger who have less than 200 followers
- Let the blogger you nominated know they got the award.
- No tagging your nominator.
So let’s jump right in, shall we?
My 11 Facts:
- I have an unhealthy addiction to Disney and mostly Walt Disney World. If my husband would let me, every trip we ever took would be to Disney World. And I promise I would not ever get bored of going. NOT EVER!
- I’m so far behind in my degree because when I started college I was a nursing major but after 3 years in I decided that it was not what I want to do. I am now an Elementary Education major and I could not have been happier with my decision to switch majors, even if it set me back over a year.
- I love books. Not just reading, but books in general. There is just something that makes me happy when I see a bookcase full of books. And even though I have a Kindle that I love, I still buy books.
- I have been obsessed with owls since I was a little kid. My favorite children’s book was Sam and the Firefly by P.D. Eastman. Which is about an owl and you guessed it, a firefly. I think this started my obsession with them. My mom would take me out late at night to hear the owls and we would shine a flashlight to see the glow of their eyes in the trees. And now my house in covered in owl related things.
- My favorite author of all time is Sarah Dessen. The first book I read of hers was This Lullaby and I just fell in love with her stories and writing style. I now own every book she has ever published.
- I love the beach! I grew up near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and spent my summers baking in the sun and playing in the waves. Now I live on the Gulf Cost and I love the beach here even more. There is just something about the salty water that melts all your problems away.
- I have always wanted to be a writer. I once wrote 50 pages of a book when I was in high school; it was about my group of friends in 9th grade. Maybe one day I will finish it!
- I love to cook and I am slowly learning how to make more than just the basics!
- I love to paint, even though I am not that good at it. I am probably my own worst critic but I think I am horrible at it, but I still do it. Practice makes perfect right?
- I have broken a lot of bones. Both legs (not at the same time), my arm, wrist, my elbow, along with multiple fingers. And some of those have been broken multiple times. I’m pretty much the definition for clumsiness.
- I am married to my very best friend. Seriously we were the best of friends for six years before he made a move. So our friendship makes our relationship so much better and we didn't have to go through a let’s get to know each other phase when we started dating.
Questions from Briana:
Anything brightly colored. I am currently obsessing over a neon pink top I got from Target!

The beach! I love living on the beach and it is my favorite place to be. The salt water, the sand, & the sun just make me feel so peaceful and it wouldn't be summer without the beach.
What made you want to start blogging?
Well I got into because of my amazing friend Briana, which is also who nominated me! She knew I needed an outlet and something to do with all of my time while my husband deploys. So after many talks with her about blogging, I finally started one. It has really been fun these past few months and I am still learning so much. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me and my blog.
