Liebster Award

Hi Friends!

I want to thank Mrs. M. from http://www.thedailycupcake-akindergartenblog.com/ for nominating

me for the Liebster Blog Award.  I've since learned that Liebster is the German word for favorite.

This award is given to someone who has less than 200 followers and is a "favorite" of someone

that follows your blog.  So, thank you Mrs. M.!!!  You are too kind:)

Now I get to choose 5 other blogs to pass on this special award.

Here they are:

1.  Lovely Little Learners @  http://lovelylittlelearners.blogspot.com/

2.  First Impressions @  http://firstimpressions34.blogspot.com/
