My first award

A few weeks ago I received my first award. It was given to me by Lori from Apple Grove Treasures ! Thank you so much Lori! I really appreciate it.

It was an award for Liebster blog. The award is given to blogs with less than 200 followers.


When you receive the award, you ...


1. Make a post about the award, include the Liebster blog button, and link back to the one who gave you the award.

2. Mention 5 inspiring blogs to forward the award to and let them know on their blog that they won the award.

3. Share 5 random facts about yourself.


I traveled around the world and chose these inspiring blogs:


Five random facts:

1. My favorite flower is the sunflower. It was also our wedding theme.
2. I started a blog when my hand was in a plaster, I couldn't drive a car, I was sitting at home bored...  I love blogging! I'm thankful for having broken my finger. :-)
3. I started my career as a researcher and a teacher at the undergraduate level. But life has taken me down different paths since that point. I wonder what the future will bring.
4. I grew up in the nineties, with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, ...
5. My oldest son started playing soccer this week. I have to get used to this new routine. Practice, games, swimming lessons for both children, ... I'm struggling with it. How do other mothers do this? How about investing in a mug and some good books? :-)

Can I give you a sixth fact? My husband just asked me to come outside, because we could see the International Space Station in the air tonight. I saw it, but I showed more interest in the poor scared hedgehog on our driveway. Heehee.

    Sounds very romantic to be invited to star gaze with your hubby!

    1. You're welcome. And enjoy your trip through Europe. I visited Croatia 10 years ago (from Dubrovnik to Split), and I really loved it.

    1. Tx Cherry. I really appreciated getting this award. 48 followers is not much, but every blog has to start somewhere.

    1. Thank you Nicole. I'm thinking about putting Google Translate on my blog. That way you can translate my blog to German.
