I've Been Nominated For A Liebster Award

I have been nominated for a Liebster Award! If you’re new to blogging or don’t actually have you’re own blog, then you might not know what a Liebster Award is.

It’s basically a big deal for the “newbies” of the blogging world. It’s bloggers who nominate other bloggers who they think deserve some recognition. Kind of like a chain letter that can be perceived as a marketing campaign. This is actually the second time I’ve been nominated, but unlike the first time, I actually know what I’m doing! haha

I would like to thank “Our Thrifty Life” for nominating me! The newlyweds, who are the owners of this awesome blog, share about how they’re accomplishing life by being thrifty and frugal in order to pay off their debt. The wife loves making #lazywifedinners and shares her simplistic experiences in a light and humorous way. Definitely check them out!

Here are the 11 questions that “Our Thrifty Life” have given me to answer:

What is your favorite microwavable food? Do to my allergies, I can’t say that I’ve actually had microwavable food, but I do love microwavable grits. Does that count?! 🙂
If you had $1000 to go on a vacation, where would you go and what one category would you spend the most on? Well, I’d love to be able to go to Europe, but seeing as that would definitely cost more than $1,000….I would say probably a cruise and I would spend the most money on excursions.
If you could go back in time– what purchase would you stop yourself from making? I really need to get better at trying clothes on before I buy them. I’ve bought a couple of shirts that I just don’t like and instead of returning them, I donate them. I know, tisk tisk.
What is your favorite easy dinner to make? My favorite easy meal would have to be breakfast. Some eggs, bacon, and pancakes are always a go-to for me.
If you were given $500 but had to give it to a charity, which would you choose? Wounded Warrior
Where do you purchase your favorite pieces of clothing from? Express
If you could visit any country in the world, where would you go? Oh golly, there’s so many on my list, but France is at the top.
How do you feel about public speaking? Not a fan, but my husband is the best public speaker I know!
What’s the best prank you’ve ever pulled? I’ve never actually pulled a prank. I hate April Fools.
If you could only have one: Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook? Facebook of course!
What is your dream car? A 1963 Volkswagen in a lovely blue color.
