My First Liebster Award!

My apologies for this being a week after being nominated, it has been a difficult week for many….

Tempie from The Texas Peach nominated me for my first Liebster Award! Thank you Tempie!! The Liebster Award is an “award” that bloggers give to up and coming bloggers or to someone they think deserves recognition for their blogging. Liebster is a German word meaning dearest.  It’s also a great way to possibly discover a great new blog to read!
