Another Liebster Award!

I am very proud to again have been nominated for a Liebster Award!!

Nominated just recently by The Urban Pulse and a few weeks back by both MLou’s Photography Blog and The MomHood. I am truly honored and proud to be selected each and every time! I was attempting to spread out all of my blogging love so as not to appear like I am being too cocky with all the recognition and yet then I start feeling guilty for letting so much time pass before responding to the nominations…it’s a vicious cycle!!

So today I would like to recognize and thank my fellow bloggers for my nominations…THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

I would like to do a combined post responding to all their questions and then do my part in accepting this award by nominating some of my fellow bloggers and asking my own questions!

Would you rather have a 100 fake friends or 6 real friends for life? Definitely prefer real friends over fake friends.

Questions from MLou’s Photography Blog:

If you could time-travel, what time period would you like to visit? Probably the early 1900s.
What’s the very first thing you would do if you won the lottery? Buy a small farm.
What is the simplest thing that makes you smile? Animals…whether its my own pets or getting a glimpse of wildlife.
If you had a chance to live in outerspace would you go? No…
Who do you look up to or who inspires you? If anyone, it would probably be my mom.
What is your favorite season and why? Fall is my favorite (with Spring being a close runner up). I love the beautiful cool days and the colors are pretty awesome too.
What book(s) can you read over and over again? Harry Potter series

Questions from The MomHood:

What struggle or achievement has made you the person you are today? Having to work hard in order to go to college and get where I am today. I didn’t get any hand outs.
What 3 places have you been that you thought you would never go? Switzerland…years ago I was able to go visit my then boyfriend, who was working there for the summer and staying with his parents, so I got to visit for a few weeks. New York City, have never had any desire to go there, yet now I live near NYC and go there rather often. West Palm Beach, FL…never knew this little horse world existed and have now gotten the opportunity to go there a couple of times.
What is your biggest blog fear? I blog for fun…so don’t have too many fears per se…but I guess my biggest fear is that I will give up on it.
If you could be anyone, past or present, who would they be? I would want to be me…just would like to change the circumstances of my life.
Name a wild animal? Would they make a good or bad pet? Tiger or other big cats. They should probably remain in the wild and not be pets but I would love the opportunity to help raise and foster young cubs with a wildlife program that is trying to breed these animals in captivity in order to help with increasing their population numbers and that eventually reintroduce them into the wild.
You are meeting your idol from High School. Who were they and why? I don’t think I had any idols in high school…
If you could have picked your name, what would it be? I prefer my middle name…Elizabeth.
You are an elected Government official. What is the first law you pass? Oh this sounds like a nightmare!! Start with bringing back the practice of saying the Pledge of Allegiance in schools so that children growing up here in the United States learn to respect our flag and to love our country. We may all come from various ethnicities and religious traditions but we are all living here in The United States so this should be something everyone should believe in.
What part do you get stumped on when writing a new blog post? Sometimes its just what to write about.
You are writing a novel. What genre do you pick? Romance…I like a sweet romance with adventure to escape from my own not so adventurous life.
Why did Yankee Doodle name the feather in his hat, Macaroni? He obviously must have been Italian.
