My Real Life

There’s a community out there.

It’s a virtual community, but it doesn’t make it any less real or cohesive than one in the “real world.”

It’s the community of bloggers.

Those of us in the blogging community visit each others blogs and comment and become connected to each other through the sharing of our lives.

And sometimes…sometimes…

We send each other awards.

One such award is the Leibster Award.

As Mad Hen at Fluff and Feathers (who was gracious enough to bestow this award upon me!) puts it:

Liebster is a German word, meaning dearest or beloved, but it can also mean favorite.  The idea behind the Liebster Blog Award is that it is given to talented and/or loved bloggers who have less than 200 followers in order to create new connections and to bring attention to these wonderful blogs!

There are some conditions to accepting the award.  One is to acknowledge and thank, through a link, the blogger who was kind enough to nominate you and to cut and paste the award onto your own page.  Another is to pass the award on to other deserving bloggers.

And so, I’d like to pass the award on to the following bloggers and ask that my readers check out their blogs.  These are blogs that I read every day and that inspire me in one way or another.  I hope you enjoy!

thismummaslife which is written by Krista and is just a great blog about mothering and living and being real that brings a smile to my face every day.

beauty that moves which is written by Heather.  I just want to crawl through my computer screen and go live in her house.  The photos she takes of her home and surrounding area are simply gorgeous.  (Out of the guidelines, as she has way more than 200 followers, but I want you to go see why…she’s earned every one of those followers!)

Dear Mr. Vernon which is an entertainment blog written by Shane, an old friend from high school.  It is extremely creative and SO well-written.  It’s a new favorite.

You’ll have to excuse my nepotism with this last one…it’s my sister-in-law, Alicia’s, blog, Why we yell  It’s a bit of this and that and is a glimpse into the mind of a mother of 7.

So, please visit these blogs, even if it’s just for today.  Good stuff, all of them. 🙂
