sisterhood of the world bloggers

Can I just say how the blogging community has changed my thoughts on blogging?  Back in high school I’d heard of it a few times but had never looked into it until I was in college. When in college, I was far more into blogging because of what it provided to me, an outlet to express my feelings.

Can I also just say how intensive blogging is?  You have commenting, replying, writing a post, editing the post, reading the post, publishing the post, realizing you've made an error just to revert the post back to a draft, update it and then publish it again.  I've done finished the post about a hundred times only to realize I'm missing something!

Blogging has allowed me to meet so many new people and make new friends and I can’t say enough how much it means to me to be nominated for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award. Evelina over at Fortunate House has nominated me for this award.  thank you Evelina!  What an honor.

These are the rules:
1. Provide a link and thank the blogger who nominated you for this award.
2. Answer a few questions about yourself.
3. Nominate 5-10 blogs that you love.
4. Include the award logo within your blog post.

She asked these questions:

1. What made you start blogging?
I started blogging when I found out I was pregnant, but I didn't intensely move into the blogging world until 2015 when I started linking up to other blogs and moving more outside of my circle of blogs that I had been reading.

2. What is one challenge that you face with blogging and how do you overcome it?
Sometimes I feel a little inadequate with the lack of readers I have.  I have a very small readership compared to some blogs, but then I realize that people are reading, and I am getting noticed.  But what is more important than that is, I love writing and that's what I'm doing with blogging.

3. What has been your biggest success with blogging?
I would have to say that blogging has helped me remember memories, events, and make new friends.

4. What are your favorite kinds of posts to read?
I love, love, love reading about people's houses, and what's in their bag.  Also, for many of the mom blogs I follow, I love seeing updates on their children.

5. If you could travel back in time, which decade would you travel to?
This sounds crazy, I think I'd want to travel back to the decade to when my grandfather was younger, he was such a goofball when I was a kid, I would love to see how he was in his younger years.

6. If you could travel back in time, what would you tell your high school self?
That everything will work out in the end, and to remember that everything in life happens for a reason, but most of all, it won't be another four years until you meet the man of your dreams.  Keep your head up girl, you got this.

7. If you could meet anyone, living or not, who would it be?
Really tough one to answer.  there are so many different people that I would want to meet for so many different reasons.  One person that I almost want to say I'd want to meet would be my father, he was absent from my life, but then again, I feel I'm better for it.

8. Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?
Looks wise, I suppose it should be a petite actress, but honestly, I would stoked if anyone played me, I feel like my life is boring, so it would be a hard role to play someone so boring haha.

9. Who is your celebrity crush?
Not too sure....I'm really into older men, no not creepy old men.  Kyle is 8 years older than me.  I'm really in love with the younger version of Scott Bakula, like when he played in Quantum Leap young (he was 35, Kyle's about to be 32).

10. Do you collect anything?
Memories.  I collect memories, and have far too many in my phone.
