You are probably wondering what a Liebster awards is! Until I heard today that I had received this award, I had never heard of it before either!
It was announced today that I have received the Liebster Blogging Award! Awesome that your writing gets recognized and I think that is fabulous.
I have been trying hard to make my blog exciting (getting better as I write, I hope!) and thank you to my friend Laura Scriver who nominated me! She has an excellent blog about travelling and recipes and knows how to make a killer sandwich and help you save money planning your trips away. Please check out her blog at Laurascriver@blogspot.ca
This award is given to a blogger from another blogger. This is a means to celebrate with each other the successes and also to get to know each other as well. The way it works is that I will tell you 11 things about myself, answer 11 of the questions asked to me by my nominee, and then I will ask 11 questions to the bloggers that I will award the liebster award to.
About me:
1. I have 4 children.
2. I have 4 pets – a , cat, rabbit and chinchilla. At one point, I had more. My bird got out of the house 9 days ago and hasn’t been seen since. 🙂
3. I love steak, chicken wings, ribs and chilli. (when I am not watching my diet) mmmmm!
4. I enjoy running but need to give myself a kick in the butt to do it!
5. I enjoy writing.
6. I enjoying reading on various subjects. Currently reading a book called “Wheat Belly”.
7. I love cooking and trying out new recipes.
8. I would much rather listen to music than watch television.
9. Laundry is my worst chore. With 6 people in the house, it is never ending!
10. I am very family oriented!
11. Seriously, 10 things isn’t enough? I have to come up with 11? Hehe! I love renting a cottage every year with my family and making more memories! And ice cream trips on vacation!
Okay, so there you have it. There are a few things you may not have known about me!
My friend had also asked me some questions to answer:
- What time do you get up in the morning? 6:30 am
- What do you want to be when you grow up? My husband asked me this yesterday- succesful blogger/fundraiser/media guru
- What was the best birthday gift you ever received? anything my husband has bought me
- What was your last dream about? something that makes no sense as always, cannot recall
- What was on your wall when you were a teenager? GQ photos and Freddy Kruegger
- If you could live anywhere (and job and family/friends weren’t considerations), where would you live? Italy
- Where is the most interesting place you’ve ever been? Why was it interesting? Canada , True North strong and free
- What is a useless piece of information that you know? hehe selective
- If you could spend the day with any public figure (celebrity, author, politician, historical figure), living or dead, who would it be and why? Terry Fox. He inspired as a kid with his courage and will never forget watching him run past me. I remember watching his funeral at 8 years old, on tv and crying. Such a great role model for children and adults alike.

- Chips or chocolate? Hard call, I love both but no contest, chocolate beats out chips any day!
