I love awards. Even though I have only got a few, every single time I receive one I feel like standing up and bowing to the huge audience that sits and watches me while I sit and check my email, my audience is usually just my kid but he gets a kick out of my whooping and big smile :)

So let’s get this show on the road.

First:

The first one is very belated, it came through in December but I’ve  just been so busy.  Thank you to Stephanie over at Pretty Little Dreamer for the the Super Sweet Blogging Award.

  2. Nominate other blogs for this award and let them know.
  3. Post the award on your blog.

  2. Chocolate or Vanilla? Chocolate!

  4. When do you crave sweet things the most? Usually about 2 minutes after I wake up, until before I go to bed. I only I could indulge all day long.
  5. If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be?  LOL, umm. Well if you’ve read the jist of my blog then I’d say it would have to be..White Chocolate. Have you seen White Chicks?

Marcus Copeland: [as Tiffany Wilson] Ahh, what a beautiful sunny day!

Every time I read posts by others who have received this award, the rules always seem to change. The number of follow-ons passed on by saved in drafts is 11, but I won’t be able to name 11 more blogs so I’m going to use the rules I’ve seen also linked with this award on rarasaur, 3 is much easier.

Liebster Blogger Award Rules

  1. Display the award logo on your blog.
  2. Link back to the person who nominated you.
  3. Answer the 3 questions, or make up your own 3.
  4. Pass the award onto 3 other (200 followers or less, or started the blog this year) bloggers and link to one of their specific posts so that they get notified by pingback.

Nominees:

  1. Rambles by Desertrose
  2. The Kuhniverse
  3. Catching Rhye

3 Questions to you:

  1. What is your favourite holiday memory?
  2. How did you come to the decision to start a blog?
  3. You’re stuck in a traffic jam, name 3 other people you would want in the car with you to pass the time.

Questions from saved in drafts.

1-     Are you where you would like to be right now? Emotionally? Yes! Physically? No! I want to desperately be in warm weather.

2-     What colour underwear are you wearing? Black.

3-     Can I see them? (joking) Sure, come over ;)

4-     What did you want to be when you grew up? I changed my mind so often, but it always came back to something to either do with writing or working with kids.

5-     Do you smoke? Oh, Hell No!

6-     What kind of blogs interest you the most? I couldn’t say, although looking through for nominees a lot of the blogs I read are by women..Men, show me your blogs!

7-     How many followers do you have – and do you care? A few, some hail from actual wordpress followers and some through the help of publicise.

8-     What 2 items (other than a boat) would you want with you if you were stranded on an island? A Diva Cup (there is a blog I follow who recently wrote a review on it, would come in handy) and a can of spray paint, so I could write profanities wherever I liked about being stranded on a f*&%ing island.

9-     Superman vs Batman fight….who wins? Batman, he has an Alfred.

10- What song irritates the hell out of you? Every song that I have to sing numerous times to keep my child quiet.

11- Are you happy with your appearance? Considering I squeezed a human out of my vajazzle a few months ago. Yes, I’m happy.

Thank you, saved in drafts.

Wow, that took me the better half of this afternoon.

I am extremely grateful that those of you have noticed my blog and want to pass on these awards to me.

Keep em comin’ bitches!

(I’m joking, you never have to vote for me ever again if you don’t want to. That wasn’t a threat! or was it?!)

  4. whoop whoop if these were actual awards you’d soon be needing to buy a bigger house to put them in…not that you have a small house…but…you know what i mean ;) I think its mostly luck if I’m honest (purely my opinion), it doesn’t matter how well you write a post its about who finds it and who relates to it (and then there’s the whole blogging award nomination for them and whether they then pass it your way). There are some really well written blogs I’ve stumbled across but i don’t follow them because I’m simply not interested in their content (doesn’t mean they’re rubbish though)
    Regardless, I feel these awards are something to be proud of. I know alot of people think they’re pretty much chain letters and a way to gain views etc but i think its a nice way to let people know that someone out there is reading your stuff AND to ‘share the love’. Its win win i think ;)
    Well done again for all your blogging awards :)

    • I do need a bigger place for all the baby apparatus and my awards lol.
      I agree, I think it’s nice to know that people notice you and send a little love your way every now and again. Especially since blogging is such a massive play ground.
