The Liebster Blog Award

Thank you so much to Lauren at Simply lkj for nominating me for a Liebster Award.

The Liebster Blog Award promotes blogs with less than 200 followers, as a way to get their names out there.  Liebster means, 'beloved or dearest', but it can also mean 'favorite'.

As a Liebster award recipient, I now have the honor of passing the award on to five of my favorite up and coming bloggers.

In order to accept this award, the recipient must do the following:

1. Thank the person that presented the award.

I am very honored and excited that Lauren felt my blog was worthy of one of these awards. I started this blog as a way to get my organizing ideas out and on paper, but it has truly become my passion. I love everything from writing posts to responding to the comments and messages that I receive. So, I am sending lots of blog love Lauren's way today for making my day! And, if you haven't checked out Lauren's blog, please don't hesitate to do so. It is adorable and very inspiring!


2. Link back to that person(s) blog.

In case you didn't see the link at the top of the post, here is the link to Lauren's blog, Simply lkj.


3. Copy and Paste the award to your blog.

Take a look at it on my right sidebar ; )


4. Present the award to 5 bloggers with less than 200 followers (bloggers who you think deserve this special recognition).

• 20 Minute Mom -  I am not sure if Amy has over 200 followers, but I definitely wanted to include her in my top 5. I love her blog (it is one of my blog faves) and love the adorable heading that she has created for it. Here is a little about her blog in her own words...

I love decorating and organizing our home, cooking {well, eating actually}, exercising {somedays}, and lots of other things that could take over my life...BUT I love my family more so I use simple and quick tips to keep my house {and life} running smoothly. I'm not an expert designer, chef, or crafter...just a real Mom trying to find balance and simplicity for my family and I hope you'll join me and find time to enjoy the most important things in life!

• [just had] a bright idea - Her blog is adorable from the first click on her page. She has a bright and colorful heading, it is very organized (like her), and easy to follow. She is also on my daily blog reads. Here is a little about her blog in her own words...

Hello & Welcome to [just had] A Bright Idea! I'm a graphic designer & DIY-er learning as I go; borderline obsessed with organization and interior design. I dream of having a beautifully organized and functional home with stylish accessories and decor to boot! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that you've found your way to my little corner of this great wide blogosphere. I'm a left-handed artist and I use this blog as an outlet to release the creative chaos that encircles my brain on a daily basis. Unlike many lefties, I have a stealth craving for organization and streamlined living (and it MUST be pretty, of course!) I hope you'll scroll down a couple inches, click a follow link and read along as I blog about all things DIY, interior design & decor, organization, style and more. Thank you for stopping by...now put your feet up, sit back, click around and enjoy...I hope you'll be back.

•  Michelle Lee Interiors - Michelle has such an adorable and breath-taking blog. She decorating is very crisp and clean, and she has the cutest house. Once again, her blog is also on my daily read list. Here is a little about her blog in her own words...

I'm a newlywed and Interior Decorator with a passion for coffee, shopping, and creating styled interiors for every budget. Contact me for more information at michelleleeinteriors@gmail.com.  

• The Social Home - I just found this blog today through another blog that I follow, iheartorganizing, but I love it. I have now added it to my daily reads. Definitely check it out. Here is a description of Jen's blog in her own words...

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Jen and the Social Home is my self imposedmotivator to keep me doing instead of just dreaming. You'll find many affordable (and often times dollar store) diy projects and loads and loads of labels and organizing tips!

• I will craft... This is a great blog for anyone and everything that loves to craft. Definitely worth checking out. I check it out daily. ; ) Here is a little about June's blog in her own words...

Currently I'm a stay at home mom, looking for a job. My last job was customer service with a transportation company. This is a great time to explore my creative side and share my journey to a more creative life.

5. Let those deserving bloggers know by leaving them a comment, or emailing them.

Last May when I decided to create a blog, I think some people thought I had lost my mind. I didn't know anything about it and neither did they. Almost one year later, I am loving every minute of it. The blog world has been a great support for me and I appreciate every single person that has commented on my posts, followed my blog, suggested my blog to others, and anyone that has just been supportive.

With lots of blog love,
