Liebster Award Nomination Announcement

I am very proud to say that I have received a Liebster Award Nomination by Oscoey. Oscoey is written by a stay at home mom of three kids and her blog includes recipes, stories about her family, some fabric crafts and even gardening articles. I love her gluten-free, dairy-free Banana Bread recipe! I love reading her articles and look forward to her future posts!

Thanks so much! What a thoughtful gesture!I was completely blown away to receive the email that stated my blog was nominated. I have worked so hard on both my blog and at my homestead, so for someone to recognize and nominate it means a lot to me! My blog is only about 6 months old but the responses and following I have received are already more than I could have hoped for!

What is the Liebster Award

The Liebster Award is an award given to new bloggers to help promote their awareness. It was started in 2011. Liebster is a German word that means beloved, dearest, or sweetheart. It was originally given to bloggers with less than 2000 followers but has recently been updated to blogs with around 200 or so followers. You can go to The Official Rules of the Liebster Award page for complete details.

My Favorite Blog

My all time favorite blog is Common Sense Homesteading. It was the first homesteading website that I found years ago and has been a true inspiration to me since I started my homesteading journey. Laurie explains things so everyone can enjoy her posts. It is a self-reliant site that covers everything a homesteader could want to learn about! Check them out!
