Last Sunday morning, I woke up to the most wonderful surprise.  Lauren from Stylelixir nominated me for the Liebster Award! Oftentimes, it is easy to feel a little insecure about putting yourself out there for the world to see; but when you get recognized by one of your peer, it eases your mind and lets you know you are doing something right. Thank you so much Lauren!

What is the Liebster Award? It's an award for new, up and coming bloggers who have great potential. The word 'Liebster' is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lonely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. I am beyond thrilled and honored to accept this award and have now nominated 11 other bloggers who I believe deserve a Liebster Award too!
