Liebster award

Somehow I was nominated for an award. Just which strange to me, because I never really catch too many eyes with my writing and I definitely never win at anything.

So, I’m honored. And humbled.

From what I am gathering is it’s a way to engage with other bloggers and meet new people in he blogging world! Pretty neat, huh?

The steps are as follows:

1. Acknowledge the person who nominated you! Thanks Shanetta I am completely floored that you took the time to read my blog, a million thank you’s.
2. Answer the 11 questions Shanetta asked me about blogging.
3. 11 random facts about yourself.
4. Nominate 5-11 bloggers.
5. Ask nominated bloggers 11 questions.

Here’s goes nothing!

My questions from Shanetta:

1. Why did you start your blog?

I started my blog mainly a way to document my travels with my family. And also as an outlet for when I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

2. What are your goals for your blog?

I don’t really have any. I enjoy blogging. I love to write, I always have. I guess my only goal is that people can learn or gain something from my blogs.

3. Who or what is your motivation to continte blogging?

Myself because I enjoy it. My family, traveling, motherhood, and people who struggle with mental health.

4. What is something you’ve learned about yourself since you have start blogging?

That I do have original ideas that people would want to read and can relate to.

5. What was the time frame from the moment you got the idea to start a blog to the second you published your first post?

I would say an hour tops. When I am in the blogging or writing mood the words flow out of me like water. If I ever find something searched for what or how to write then I just stop till I am in the right mood to produce something worthwhile.

6. What is your favorite compliment you’ve received from a reader?

A lot of the other mom bloggers that I follow inspire me daily.

9. Do you only write blog posts or do you also vide blog?
