It has taken me awhile to post my
Liebster Awards, as I had to get used to the
way Blogger is now operating in Google Chrome.
As with all things, I will get used to it as I don’t really have much of
a choice.
Back on March 23rd, Sue over
at Berkshire Cottage, awarded my blog the Liebster Award. As Sue told in her post:
"This award is geared toward new bloggers or bloggers that have under 200 Followers. The word liebster in German means favorite. When accepting this award, there are several things the blogger must satisfy." They are:
1. Choose five up-and-coming blogs (with fewer than 200 followers) to award the Liebster to.
Here are my choices:
Towards Retirement with Debt Maureen lives in Australia and while she
would probably say that she does not deserve an award for her blog, I say nay to
that. She has been through a rough year
in that she followed a dream and it didn’t quite work out the way she had
hoped. I was delighted that after months
of not blogging, she started back at it sharing what she had been through. Maureen is honest about what is going on in
her life and how she is balancing wants and needs. I appreciate that.
How to be a Housewife This blogger has great
recipes and household tips. I love to read
about her watching her grandkids. While I
read her blog, I delight in knowing that someday I will be a grandma like her.
Head over heels in Debt This is an honest blog written by a woman who began her journey to deal with
her debt back in 2010. She has been on
quite a journey and has made hard decisions to pay down her debt. Again she gives an honest critique of her
situation.
Simple Every Day Living This blog is about simple living and self-reliance. I love to read what Rose has posted, perhaps
it is because I have a secret desire to live an Agrarian lifestyle.
Simply Living I learned of Kris’ blog when she posted a
comment on my blog. Kris is living on a
very, very tight budget and I enjoy stopping by her blog to read about what she
is up to. She gardens and cans and has
the skills to live on a very low income.
Kris has a very full life. Kris
is the one that I can turn to when I need to find another way to save money. I wish she could stop by my home for a couple
of days and show me how to can. I am “canning
deficient.”
The above blogs are worthy of being among
my favorites. Just like many of you I
spend time reading my favorite blogs and feel as if the above are some of my dear
friends.
2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blogs so they know about the award.
4. Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.
Okay - here are the random facts about me.
1.
My DH and I dated only 2 weeks and then became engaged.
2.
I hinted to this above, but I would be happy living in a little farm
house, with a garden, and some chickens (for meat and eggs) and a goat (for
milk and cheese). This would be “heck”
for my DH.
3.
I have a two year college degree in nutrition.
4.
I am totally in love with the fashions of 1910 through 1919 and want to
sew dresses from that era.
5.
I am landscaped challenged. My
yard looks like something a 2nd grader designed on a bad day. Hence there would be a problem with number 2
above if I had a garden and wanted to raise all my own vegetables.
Thanks again to Sue at Berkshire Cottage for this award. It was fun to receive this award and it was fun for me to give it to five deserving bloggers.
