Liebster Award

I just found out today that this blog has been nominated for a Liebster Award by All Things Vintage! Thank you so much, Sarah!

The award is given as a means of encouraging new or lesser known bloggers to keep them going, and motivate more people to check out new blogs. Such a great idea.

Liebster Award Rules:
Acknowledge the blog that nominated you. 
Answer the 11 questions the nominating blogger created. 
List 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers that deserve some recognition. 
Write 11 questions for them to answer. 
Notify them they've been nominated. 

Sarah's Questions:
  1. Which vacation would you prefer; in the mountains or at the beach?
Well, I live in a coastal town, but I would still pick the beach... maybe go to Hawaii or California! :)
  2. What is your dream car?
An eco-friendly convertible Jeep.
  3. If you had a choice between ice cream or cake; which would you choose?
Depends on the ice cream; depends on the cake. But I know that's a horrible answer, so I'm going to go with ice cream for now (it's H-O-T outside)... served in a little boat with a banana and whipped cream and all that extra deliciousness.
  4. What's your favorite Jane Austen novel? If you've never read an Austen novel what's the last book you read?
Ooh! Pride and Prejudice all the way! Ya gotta love Elizabeth... and Jane... and Mr. Darcy... the characters are just fabulous. My number 2 would be Sense and Sensibility. I'm more like Elinor, according to a quiz I took once :)!
  5. How do you like to drink your tea{hot, with cream n' sugar, cold with lemon, etc.}?
Okay, this might sound crazy, but I don't really like tea. Now, I have great hopes to enjoy it in the future (in a pretty flowery teacup with a saucer... because that seems so girly and old-fashioned and perfect) but right now, it's just not my thing.
  6. Are you a cat or dog person or both?
Dogs! We had a golden retriever named Alex for about eight years, but he died last year. It was so sad, especially for my mom (she was always his favorite) but I would like to have another pet someday. I like cats, but I've never really been around them much.
  7. When you have some free time you...?
Sing, play piano, play guitar, read books, etc.
  8. Favorite type of food{Italian, Mexican, Chinese, etc.}?
THIS IS TOO HARD! But if I had to pick, I'll go with instinct and say Italian. Pasta, bread, sauce... does it get any better?
  9. Do you have any siblings; how many?
Yes! One. A crazy little brother who is starting kindergarten in the fall.
10. What is one of your most memorable/favorite vacations?
In 2010, my family and I went to Palm Coast, FL, for three weeks (the longest vacation I ever remember taking) and it was special. I got my own little room and bathroom, and we spent a lot of time at the pool. It was fun!
11. If you could get paid to do your favorite thing what would that be?
SING! :) And make albums and tour and do all that fun stuff.
 
My QUESTIONS:
1. What is the one thing you do everyday, almost without fail?
2. What do you like most about where you live?
3. What would you like to accomplish by the end of 2014?
4. What's the last book you read that you would HIGHLY recommend me?
5. Your favorite style of music?
6. One thing about you that you want the world to know?
7. Quick! Pick one. Winter, spring, summer, or fall.
8. What is your view on staying healthy... inside and out?
9. If your blog has to do with fashion, who is your favorite celebrity in terms of style inspiration? If your blog has nothing to do with that, then what is your favorite sport to watch on TV?
10. Who do you look up to when it comes to keeping the faith?
11. How has your relationship with God changed who you are as a person?

  1. Loved reading your answers! I think I would always pick the beach too...love everything about it; the sand, the waves, the breezes, and of course the sun. Whenever you start to drink tea in those pretty tea cups be sure to read a Jane Austen novel...it will get you more into the tea drinking mood! ;) Yum...I like the way you eat ice cream! Enjoyed this post; so glad you participated!

  2. Thank you for nominating me, Ireland! :) I enjoyed learning more about you. I agree with Sarah, that ice cream sounds delicious! Also, it's interesting that you relate to Elinor, because she's probably the Austen character I most relate to (maybe why S&S is my favorite of her books?) :)
