Liebster award for new bloggers and I nominate...

Domesticated Breakdown nominated me for the Liebster award, an award for new bloggers still working towards their first 200 followers. I appreciate this so much as it was just this last month in May that I put myself out there to other audiences of people I don't know and have really enjoyed getting to know all the writers and moms I've encountered through blogging about motherhood. This has been a very busy month for me trying to reach a large audience of moms through a variety of means so if you're stopping in for the first time be sure to check out the most popular post and archives, especially May. And of course feel free to follow the love and chaos that occurs daily with A & N. If you're one of my regular readers I hope you check out Domesticated Breakdown and the people below that I'm going to nominate.

To accept this nomination I have to complete the following tasks…

• Link back to the blog that nominated you.
• Nominate 5-11 new blogs with fewer than 200 followers.
• Answer the questions posted for you by your nominator.
• Share 11 random facts about yourself.
• Create 11 questions for your nominees.
• Contact your nominees and let them know you nominated them.

 The blogs that I nominate are as follows:

Rendered and Renewed

Country Bunkin Mama

Getting it Together

Rosel's Mom Diary

Notyourordinarypsychicmom

Hoerter family

The usual chaos and destruction

Grover's Corner
Life Imperfected

Questions for me to answer.

1. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? This is tough. I like Maryland a lot but I would rather be closer to than ocean than I am so maybe some small beach community here on the Atlantic Ocean.
2. What’s your favorite hobby? Definitely reading and writing then probably making picture books from all the pictures I take all the time.
3.  If you could only have 3 things to eat for the rest of your life what would they be? chocolate, ice cream, and it's a toss up between chipolte and hot wings
4.  What 3 things do you never leave the house without? my kids (they go with me everywhere it seems like), my keys even though I have locked myself out of the house before, and money
5.  What’s your favorite song? Highway don't Care, Shine on, Cruise (really like Florida/Georgia Line right now)
6. How many siblings do you have? two awesome sisters
7. What is the best vacation you have ever taken? This is hard. Mexico for our honeymoon was cool but I think our two weeks sightseeing the National Parks of California or our week in a beach house in Outer Banks North Carolina probably beat Mexico.
8. Have you ever had surgery? NO
9. Do you prefer the ocean or pools? I love the ocean
10. What is your favorite TV show? Game of Thrones, Revolution, Newsroom
11. How long have you been with your significant other? Eight years March 11, 2004 and six years married July 14, 2007

Now my questions for those of you that I nominated

1. What's your dream career?
2. If money wasn't an issue how many kids would you have?
3. What's your favorite vacation?
4. If you could go visit anywhere where would you go?
5. Where did you meet your significant other?
6. How long did you date before you were married?
7. How long have you known your longest friend?
8. When was your last date night with your husband?
9. Where do you live?
10. If you could only eat three things what would they be?
11. How long have you been blogging?

Here are the 11 random facts about me.

My favorite place to taste wine is the Finger Lakes of New York
I love my in laws and actually look forward to my time visiting them
