These are a few of my favorite things!

So my good buddy Rachel over at The Traveling Spoon gave me a blog award! Like bringing my sweet stuff straight to my door wasn't super sweet enough!

I'm so excited to be a  winner!

But what I'm even more excited about is getting to give the award away to five other people! This has been pretty fun for me, because I LOVE LOVE LOVE bloggers. I love that they just put it all out there and let us see the good, the bad, and the poopy :)

I hope that you'll take the time to check out my buddies and join them on their journey's!

1. The Tasty Life is run by a super sweet girl named Emily! I met her in my wild and crazy former life as a librarian. She's got a fanastically southern sense of humor and is not afraid to try something new in the kitchen. She is primarily gluten-free and loves her veggies, pizza and steaks. I LOVE that her and her Big Guy cook together all the time. She's getting married soon and as a result has started "Wedding Wednesday." I suppose I should hold a grudge against her because she started my very serious obsession with Pinterest, but I don't...

2. Semper Feisty is a blog that I found on a very trying day. You see Allie is also going through the fertility struggle right now and she was the very first blog that I found since starting this journey. I feel like we're in this together. She is *obviously* also a military wife and it's good to see you're not the only one. She has an awesome business that you should check out now! She's an awesome example of praising Him in the storm and I look forward to her posts!

3. Our Family Front Porch is the musings of Kelly. I heart them, they are (no matter what the powers that be may say) Archangels! I am proud to be able to stand along side them. I trust Duane with keeping my husband safe and I trust Kelly for always having all the answers to all my questions. They have two fantastic little girls and make a most beautiful family. I just found out today (while cyber stalking) that Kelly has been blogging for quite a while. She is passionate about alot of things that is able to show you her side without being crazy about it.

4. I Just Have to Say This is written by Yvette. I have known her for quite a while but I don't feel like I really got to know her until I moved away. Let me tell you why I love her! We are completely different people. She has totally different life experiences than I do. I used to think that people had to see things exactly the same to understand each other, otherwise there would just be arguments. On paper, Yvette and I should have nothing in common. We should very quickly run out of topics, but that is not the case. She is able to state her case on her religion, opinions on politics and other hot button things without shouting. What's also amazing is that she can state her case and leave it at that. She doesn't feel the need to harp on things, she states her peace and that's that.

5. My Temporary Home is my sister at heart, Allison. We have gone on many journey's together. She is able to ground the whole world for me. She gets right to the heart of what's at hand here and lays it all out. She is not afraid of laying her heart out there in the blogging world for all to see and I always learn something from her when I'm done reading.

These ladies are so great. They make me proud to stand by them as a blogger!

So here's the deal with the award! Each of the ladies gets to give this award to 5 other bloggers and here are the rules:


1. Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog
2. Link back to the blogger that presented the award to you
3. Copy and paste the award on your blog
4. Present the Liebster Blog Award to 5 more blogs with 200 followers or less who you feel deserve to be noticed
5. Let them know they've be chosen by e-mailing them and commenting on their blog.
Have fun!
