My thoughts exactly! It seems a Liebster Award is something you're generally unaware of until you're "nominated" for one. After a run of bad luck and high-anxiety a few things have been coming up Milhouse lately - and the latest thing to bring a smile to my face, one that's still hanging around, was when the very lovely Sarah tweeted me so say she nominated me for one! Apparently it started on a German blog about 2 years ago, leibster meaning "dearest" in German. It started out where you nominated 3-5 bloggers, but it has of course snowballed to include a whopping 11 nominations!
It's like a tag but it's also a little way to give budding bloggers a boost of encouragement, that's what made me smile so much. You pass on a nomination to 11 fellow bloggers with less than 200 followers (oh triple figures, that's the dream right there), spill 11 facts about yourself, answer the questions posed by the person who nominated you and then leave you're own 11 questions for your nominees to answer!
So, deep breaths - here it goes!
