Liebster Award

Good afternoon everyone. Tuesday mornings are always our busy mornings. We have to get all of us dressed and out the door for dance. It is also one of my favorite days. I love getting to watch Sophia dance and talk to the other moms. It is a fun time our of the house; my only time out of the house. 🙂 Last week Melissa from Fit N Well Mommy nominated me for a Liebster Award. I cannot believe I have been nominated twice in the past couple weeks. I am truly honored and humbled. I don’t know what to say. It means a lot to be nominated by a fellow blogger. Thank you so much. Head on over and check out Melissa’s blog she has a lot of great workouts, recipes, mommy advice, and much, much more. I love that she gives us so many different CrossFit workouts we can do at home. I have always wanted to try CrossFit, but since they don’t have childcare it hasn’t been an option. Now that Melissa has given me so many great options to do at home once these babies are born I am going to give it a go!!

Eleven Questions:

1. Why did you start blogging? I had been toying with the idea of starting a blog for quite some time, but I was always afraid of putting myself out there.

2. If you eat lunch any where in the world, where and what would you eat? I have no idea. I think I would go back to our honeymoon and have lunch on the beach. I love eating outside and it is so wonderful watching the waves and feeling the wind. I don’t even care what we eat. 🙂

3. Whom, what, or where does your blogging inspiration come from? I get my inspiration from day to day life. I mostly write about things happening in my life as a mom, wife, and a health and fitness enthusiast. When I first began this blog I truly wanted to share some of the ways I am fit and healthy while being a busy mom of two. I also wanted to show you that fitness can by fun and enjoyable. Once, these babies are here I am going to take you on the journey of a getting my body back after twins. WOW!!! I want to be able to look back at my posts and remember what life was like at that moment. This blog is not only a way to share my experiences with all of you, but also help me learn from all of you. I truly enjoy connecting with each and everyone of you.

4. How do you handle a stressful day? I truly try to live in the present. I try to look at my day and take it one step at a time. I try to stay calm, but sometimes I freak out. 🙂 Exercise is also a great outlet for me. When I was allowed to exercise I always tried to get some form in each and everyday.

5. What do you hope that your children remember about you? I hope that they remember that I was always here for them. I hope they remember that they are always my priority and the most important people in my life. I hope they remember that I always made time for them and nothing could stop that. I hope they always remember that we love to dance, sing, giggle, and be silly. We have so much fun together. I hope they always remember that I love them very much and nothing will ever change that. They mean the world to me.

6. What is your favorite recipe? This is a difficult one, but I think I am going to have to say at the moment it is Cashew/Almond Chicken. I go through phases, but that is definitely a current front runner.

7. What is your favorite quote? Since, I am pregnant for my third and final time this quote means so much to me right now: “Your first breath took ours away”. Anyone who has a child knows the truth in that quote.

8. What projects are you working on right now? Right now I am working on getting our house organized before the twins arrive. My first task is putting a command center at  our garage entryway. I just order something from Thirty-One that I think will be a great start to my entryway. I will fill you in once I get it in the mail.

I am also working on making year family digital photo albums. I have already made 2009, but I still need to make 2010-2012. I want to be caught up before the twins arrive. Wow, I have a lot to do in such a little time.

9. What is the best thing about you? Oh my, this question always gets me. I am never good at answering this question. I guess I would have to say I am caring, kind, and loving. I am someone that feels awful is someone is hurt. I simply want everyone to be happy. I am always trying to keep peace.

10. Will you follow the bloggers that you nominate? Since, I just nominated bloggers back in December I am not going to nominate any more today. But, I do follow all the bloggers I nominated from my first Liebster Award. You can see that award here.

11. What makes you giggle? My girls make me giggle more than anything else. They are my life. 🙂
