I was so excited when I learned that my dear friend, Jenny, author of My Life as a Livingston recently chose me for a Liebster Blog Award. She chose ME! I adore Jenny's writing style, her sense of humor and the honesty that pours off of the page with every post. She is absolutely one of my faves, so I felt honored to be selected as one of her faves, too!
Liebster is a German word that literally translates to "favorite", "dearest" or "beloved". By one blogger giving it to another, they are essentially saying, your blog is a favorite of mine.
The rules of the Liebster Blog Award are:
1) Acknowledge the blogger who gave the award by linking back to them
2) Give this award to 5 other bloggers (who have fewer than 200 readers), and let them know through a comment on their blog
3) Post the award on your blog
4) Best of all - bask in the glory, have fun and share the love!
The process of choosing just 5 favorites was very difficult for me. I enjoy all of the blogs I read or I wouldn't be reading them. However, these are 5 blogs that really float my boat.
1) Welcome to Joshland ~ Josh is a great friend, a fabulous guy and a tremendous advocate within the CF community. I have great respect for Josh and his puppet-friend, Moganko. Josh's posts are usually heartwarming, often hilarious and always brutally honest. I like it...I like it a lot!
2) Unknown Cystic ~ Who the hell is this guy? I dunno? Whoever he is...I adore him! Unknown, has decided to keep his identity a secret, which likely allows him to speak his mind and share details about his life that are sometimes jaw-dropping. Unknown's posts make me laugh...ALWAYS...even when talking about the most horrific situations. There's just something about that mystery man!
3) Lizi's Lifeline's ~ Beautiful...it's just beautiful. Lizi's posts read like a poem or an amazing piece of literature. Lizi is a writer and she has CF. She has the ability to put many of the feelings that we share into words that make me never want to stop reading. I devour her posts. Lizi is taking a bit of a blog break, but I will be right here waiting when she returns.
4) Life in the Pickle Jar ~ Kelly is the mother of three children, two of which have CF. Kelly is HILARIOUS! She does not mince words. Kelly lays it all out there...the good, the bad and the ugly. Kelly recently moved her family from Iowa to Cordoba, Spain. I have loved following the adventures of her and her clan!
5) Dollars and Sense Decor ~ Nope, it's not a CF blog. Tracy is the mother of one of my daughter's classmates. She lives nearby and I like to live vicariously through her. She is crafty (which I am not), she is a decorating queen (which I am not) and she's got amazing style (which I do not). Her blog is tons of fun, which I look forward to, since most of the other blogs I read deal with heavy stuff. Tracy rocks!
Check these blogs out! You won't be disappointed!
