And the award goes to…

ME! No, it’s not the Pulitzer (yet), but I was given the Liebster blog award by Rachel from one of my new favorite blog discoveries, Existation. If give-backs were allowed, Rachel would have another Liebster on her hands, because I love her blog that much. If you’ve kept up with my posts at all lately, you know I have big plans to relocate to California eventually. Well, Rachel has done JUST that (livin’ the dream), and she takes beautiful photos of her new home that make me drool in envy. She doesn’t know this yet, but we WILL be friends when I move out there. Hi, Rachel. I’m normal, I promise.

Stalkiness aside, the rules of the Liebster Blog Award are that I have to bestow it upon five other blogs with fewer than 200 followers. Done. I’ve discovered a lot of other new blogs recently, and there are so many great ones to choose from. But below are five of my favorite recent discoveries. Please check them out– I picked them because they all either make me laugh, make me cry, make me want to be their friends, or make me want to quit being lazy and write something equally inspiring. Ladies (’cause you’re all ladies), don’t forget to post the rules and “button” on your blog, and pick five of your favorites with fewer than 200 followers!

The winners are…

Sarai at Chiklita

Hanna at Excelsior Lady 

Carley at Finding Gravity

Jorah at Diary of a Dying Girl

and Anna at Snow, Glass, Apple

Until next time!
