I’ve Been Nominated for the Liebster Award 2017

To shed some light on this, for anyone that does not know, The Liebster Award was started in 2011 and it is a way to showcase new bloggers. It also helps to drive more traffic to their blogs and they continue to build their community.
I am very fortunate to have been nominated by a fellow mommy blogger – Jess from Grace + Ford. She is navigating her way through life with two under two, in a totally relatable and real way. For some stay at home mom tips, diy projects, and helpful insight from her pregnancy – check her out at Grace + Ford.

I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite bloggers, Emily from Living with Littles

One of the greatest things that I have gained from blogging is the ability to connect with women, near and far, about something we will forever have in common – motherhood. We all share the same struggles and support each other through them. Emily is no different – on her blog you will find seasonal bucket list ideas to use with your own kids, reviews on products you hear about all the time, and plenty of great stories about her real life. Just recently she posted a fall bucket list and I personally cannot wait to recreate it with my own kids! For the rest of this post and so much more, check her out at Living with Littles.
