Woo hoo! Blairadise won the Liebster Blog Award!
A big thanks to Suzanne at The Wine{a}be (one of my favorite blogs) for honoring me with this award, I am humbled!! Especially when I see the other ladies included in her list, like Jocelyn from Scooter Marie and Deanna at Little Green Bow, also two of my favorite (daily) reads.
It’s funny how God seems to bless us at the perfect moment. Yesterday, I wrote about my anxiety to begin writing after Ava’s hospital stint. Afraid I wouldn’t be able to get my point across without sounding ridiculous and thinking no one would even read it, as they probably forgot about my blog since I hadn’t written in so long.
Plus, I am depressed at the moment. Johan leaves tomorrow for a 12 day work trip. Jealous he is going to the Far East and leaving me behind and scared of 12 days alone, without him. Just me, Ava and work, school, home and then repeat, for 12 DAYS! Eek!!
When I awoke this morning and saw all the Tweets and the comment I received from Suzanne on my blog, I was humbled. It’s just the thing I needed to get me out of this little funk. It’s nice to know a few people (at least) enjoy catching up on The Scheepers and one likes us enough to pass on an award!
All the excitement got me thinking, 12 days will fly by. I’ll have bonding time with Ava, more time to read/write and watch reality TV. It can’t be too bad, right???
Now it’s my turn to share the love of the Liebster Blog Award with some of my favorite blogs. Drum roll, please….
What she says: After 3 years of trying, 3 surgeries, tons of hormones, and a journey through faith – God answered. As it turns out, you really do get what you ask for, just in His time. Bailey Lauren was born on Christmas morning 2010, and she is our little angel. God has taught us so much through her, most importantly his sufficient grace. She truly is our blessing, our bliss, our Bailey.
What I say: I love her writing style and honesty. Her little one is a month older than Ava, so we have a lot in common in this crazy thing called motherhood. If you want a good laugh or cry, check her out.
What I say: A blog about an American girl living in South Africa. Any clue why I love reading this blog? Oh, and she makes really cool earrings too! I see she has 207 followers, but wanted to include Lovely Light anyway as she is one of my new favorite reads and deserving of the Liebster Blog Award.
What she says: On faking it & making it as a lady of leisure. Oh yes, and on being a mommy.
What I say: And have said before, Natalie is hilarious! Will almost categorize her as NSFW (not safe for work) because every post has me laughing out loud.
What she says: I am a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend and a Christ Lover. Our life is crazy and full of ups and downs but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
What I say: Like I’ve said before here, here and here. I just can’t get enough of The Rodrigues Family.
What they say: Go read Who we are. It’s too gorgeous to miss.
What I say: I eagerly await every new post on their site. Each one is filled with such beauty, it can brighten up the worst of days.
A bit of what she says: Blogging since June 2011 and loving it. I am fairly reserved and blogging has helped me to express myself in ways I am not usually able to communicate.
What I say: Not for the faint hearted. She tells it like it is. Sometimes a bit racy, which I like. It takes confidence to go beyond the norm of society and say what others are thinking, but not willing to write.
So how does the Liebster Blog Award work you ask?
The Rules:
1. Link back to the person who gave it to you.
2. Post the award on your blog for all to see!
3. Give the award to 5 of your favorite bloggers (with 200 followers or less). I chose 6, I just couldn’t decide as they are all so deserving.
4. Leave a comment on your chosen blogs to let them know that they have been given the Liebster Blog award.
Happy Wednesday!
Aww Blair you are too sweet! Thank you so much!! You have been so supportive since we started the blog this year and I can’t thank you enough! Now for the award, are we allowed to name you back? Just love your blog and getting to see all your South African adventures!!
It’s because your site makes me so happy!
Wow! Thanks so much Blair! It means so much to us that you like Two Delighted and that you have been so supportive. We love you too!!! What a wonderful way to wake up in the morning. I hope little Miss Ava is back to feeling 200%. 🙂
spend these days with Ava crafting. You can make so many little amazing things that you will keep forever. Yesterday Laura turned 23 and I still have many little things she made over the years. Lots of fun and laughter. Remember to laugh each day….if nothing else think about those high school years and you will laugh lots. I can try and find a cab to pick you up like prom!!!!
eek, that was a crazy Prom!! Can’t wait until Ava and I can start crafting and putting together large puzzles. It’s going to be so nice. Cannot believe Laura is 23. I still think of her as a little girl!! Shame.
