I
got another award. This is obviously a good week.
One of the great things
about keeping a blog is that you have your own record of what you have been up
to with your toddler. When I started writing this 4 months ago thats really all
this was. But it is lovely to receive awards like this one and
realise that others are reading about your week and enjoying what you have been
up to, and maybe even taking some of the ideas and using them themselves.
I discovered a lovely
blog not so long ago called Happy
Whimsical Hearts. I listed it in my top 15 for the Versatile Blogger Award and bizarrely
at the same time as me listing Kelly, she was preparing to list me for this
Liebster Blog award. A bit of mutual appreciation there.
The
word 'liebster' actually comes from the German word for love, friend or
dearest.
The
goal of the award is to spotlight up-and-coming blogs with less than 200
followers. The rules are:
1. copy
and paste the award on your blog
2. thank
the giver and link back to them
3. reveal
your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog
4. hope
that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers
Having
just listed my top 15 'new' blogs a few days ago I actually really struggled to
find another 5 with less than 200 followers. A lot of the blogs I read are very
popular and the problem with newer and less well know blogs is, well, just that,
they are less well known so unless they are putting themselves out there by
linking to stuff they can be quite hard to find. Never the less I managed to
find my five, and some of them were ones I had been reading for a while and
just assumed had more followers than they did.
In
alphabetical order they are:
Hi there- thanks so much for the mention! How is it I hadn't discovered your blog before?!! Brilliant stuff- I'll definitely be back :-)
