Hello Liebster Award

I’ve said it a couple of times before: Nothing beats being nominated for one of the amazing blogging awards out there. Yes, I agree, they sort of mean “work” when you accept them but it’s nice work.

Thank you so very much, Confessions Of A Reborn Girl, for nominating me. If you don’t know her blog yet, please go and check it out. At least read her answers to the questions she was asked for her award acceptance post. They are truly inspiring, just like the rest of her writings. I just had a quick look at the questions she is asking and I can’t wait to answer them!

Blogger Recognition Award

So thankful for having been rewarded once again. The Bee Writes… has nominated me for The Blogger Recognition Award, an award that I happily accept. I know that many of you out there have decided to go award free. Maybe because the awards and the “rules” attached to them are more or less the same over and over again and I understand that it might feel a bit overwhelming covering it on multiple cases. I think though, that it’s a great way to show a bit more from you as a blogger, to reveal just that tiny little bit extra about you. And it’s for sure a nice appreciative nod we all like from time to time.

Let The Sunshine In

There are things in this world that put a smile on my face. One of them is the sun, a beautiful sunrise or sunset. And another one is an award nomination here in the blogging world. What a wonderful token of appreciation, especially if it comes from a lovely person like Chelia, whose blog I’m only about to discover. Now if the two come together and create the Sunshine Blogger Award I simply can’t stop smiling. So let’s do this…

Blog-aholic Award

What a great start into the week if you are presented with a blog award! And a new one for me too! Thank you so much Shop Girl Anonymous for nominating me for the Blog-aholic award that was originally created by The Recipe Hunter, a blog where you can find all kind of amazing recipes.

Let’s see what I need to do when accepting this award…

Mystery Blogger Award Here We Go Again

It’s always a wonderful thing to be recognized. Although we of course do not get a real award of trophy but being nominated for one of the many wonderful awards out there is always an honor. For me it symbolizes appreciation and I’d like to say thank you to The Bag Lady for nominating me for another Mystery Blogger Award. A special shout out also goes to the creator of this award, Okoto Enigma who describes her award as follows:

“Mystery Blogger Award” is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts.  Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates.  They are one of the best out there and they deserve every recognition they get.  This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging and they do it with so much love and passion. – Okoto Enigma

The Mystery Blogger Award

There are blogger I frequently interact with who always make me excited when I see their Gravatar popping up. Excited because I know there will be either a good exchange waiting for me, a link to an interesting post being shared or just a pat on the back waiting for me. Rob is one of those bloggers. Not only do I find great posts on his blog but his comments often lead to many thoughts being shared. Today he surprised me with a blog award. And it’s an award that I have not yet received.

Rob, thank you so very much for nominating me. To be honest, this is most likely the biggest compliment in regards to my blog I have ever received! If you are not a follower of Rob’s wonderful, inspiring and motivating blog, that is thought provoking, educational and interesting for sure, please head over there and pay him a visit. You will not be disappointed. So, thanks my friend, I really appreciate it!

Now let’s see what is in for me here… I’m curious…

Real Neat

The beautiful Sasha, who blogs at Sasha’s Writings has nominated me for another Real Neat Blog Award. Thank you so much, my friend, for this pat on my back :-). Please check out her blog, she has a lot of beautiful thoughts to share with us.

I know that many of you decided to go award free with your blogs and maybe wonder why I continue to accept them. The answer is easy: It’s a token of appreciation and most of all it allows me to share a little bit more about myself with you. Most of the award nomination pose questions. Most of the questions are new and give you the chance to share something you might have not thought about sharing before.

Although I sometimes try to get around nominating other bloggers for the award it also provides me with a chance to say thank you to them for supporting my blog. The trick is to pick the bloggers I want to nominate. There are so many out there deserving the award. And sometimes all those options are overwhelming. It’s when I choose to open up the nomination rather than picking a few. It’s what I will do here.

Please leave a comment with the link to a post you especially like. It can be one of your posts or a post of another blogger. Feel free to leave multiple links if you wish. I will read all the posts you share with me and nominate you afterwards. Now let’s get to it…

A Ray Of Sunshine

It felt as if a ray of sunshine touched my face when I opened the post that had my award nomination in it. It’s always such a beautiful feeling to be nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award. This time it was Anglea (Never Forget, Never Regret) who nominated me. Thanks so much, my dear, for nominating me and lighting up my day 🙂

Black Cat Blue Sea

Oh the people you meet when blogging! It’s truly amazing. I could list so many bloggers here I met over the two years I’m blogging, some of them I started following in the very beginning, some I only found later.

Like Cyranny. I’ve only connected with this crazy, fun blogger recently and I’m sure glad I did! Not only is her blog heaps of fun but her ideas are great too, like her picture battle… Just hop over and see for yourself!

And not only has she challenged me to a picture battle but she has also nominated me for another Black Cat Blue Sea Award. And you know what she said??? She actually said that “Momma is always a good read”… Yep, she said that! How nice of her!!!

So thank you, my friend! I really appreciate it!

Lovely

It’s a lovely day today in our beautiful city. The birds are singing and the sun is out, the bees are busy doing there thing and the trees are blossoming. We had a lovely catch up with friends and heaps of fun. What makes this day even more lovely is the nomination for the One Lovely Blog Award that I received from fellow mom Alyssa who is blogging for her little daugther at Dearlilyjune.

Thank you my newly found blogger friend for your lovely nomination and the lovely words you used to describe my blog. You truly made my day!
