Liebster Award

I was awarded the Liester Award thanks to a fellow mommy blogger Tasha of http://momnstinks.blogspot.com/. 


The Liebster award's origins are pretty much a mystery. Bloggers nominate other bloggers that have 200 or less followers. "Liebster" is German for "favorite," so this is kinda like the "favorite blog award." It's basically a "Hey, that's a sweet little blog you got there. Here's an award!" You just can't accept the award, you have to play by the (ever changing) rules and pay it forward. Then you put the award on your blog for all to see.

So here it goes....
