Blogger Recognition Award

Blogger Recognition Award

blogger award
I am SO excited to receive TWO  Blogger Recognition Awards from fellow bloggers Jenny Petri from Raising My Little Superheroes  and Jasmine Hewitt from lovelifelaughmotherhood.com! If you have not seen their blogs, you are missing out ! Thank you ladies both so much for thinking of me. It means a lot !

I have been blogging since around January and I have met so many amazing bloggers in this community I am just so thrilled and honored to receive this !

It has been so inspiring to be a part of the blogging community. I am just in awe of how much these women do every day . Most of the bloggers I follow are mothers, wives, work full-time, and still have time to kick ass at blogging ! The Blogger Recognition Award is like a virtual hug to other bloggers and I love it.

There are a few rules that I do have to mention prior to accepting the award…
I have to thank the blogger who nominated me and provide a link to their blog. ✔
I have to write a post to show the award. ✔
I have to write a brief story of how my blog started. ✔
I have to give two pieces of advice to new bloggers. ✔
I have to select 15 other bloggers that I want to pass this award onto. ✔
I also have to comment on each of the 15 blogs to let them know that I have nominated them and provide them the link to this post. ✔

 

Why/How I Started Blogging

If you have read my very first blog post on here (Changes), you will know that I had tried blogging once before when my son was a few months old. I only made a few posts and really had no clue what I was doing. I was so busy being a new mom that I decided to call it quits. Well, four years later  I decided one day that I wanted to try again. I moved from Blogger to WordPress but kept my blog’s name and started completely over this January . At first I just started writing because it was giving me something creative to do. Then after just a couple of weeks I was learning more than I ever thought that I would ! Blogging is now something I am very passionate about. I have always loved telling all my friends and family about awesome products I have tried or great restaurants or the best places to hike with the littles. That is just how I am ! So it was actually one of my sisters who suggested to me a few years ago that I should start a blog to share my thoughts on these things !

Though I still am very small and have a LONG way to go, I am very happy with what I have accomplished in just a few short months. It is my “ME TIME” when I blog. And I am loving getting back into photography, too, and having a reason to snap photos. It is something exciting and to look forward to ! I can’t wait to see where I will be in a year and all the awesome bloggers I will meet along the way.

 

My Advice to New Bloggers

I am still so new that I don’t have too much advice to give. But I can say that I would be completely and utterly LOST if I hadn’t found some great blogging groups on Facebook. You can ask questions, get ideas and inspirations…. I have learned everything from the other amazing bloggers in my groups. It also makes it more fun , in my opinion, because sometimes when you are struggling with something, someone else is too and then you kind of make a friend online while you talk about it and figure out how to fix the problem. It makes me feel more part of a community and not so on my own.

My second piece of advice is to not give up ! After my first weeks I was really loving blogging but getting VERY overwhelmed. I kept comparing myself and my blog to all these larger bloggers and Instagram accounts and started to feel really bad. I thought that I would never get where they are at, and I may not. But that is ok! I may not be making money yet or have the followers that I had hoped by now but I am having fun and knowing that if I work hard and keep at it, great things will come my way.

I have grown to really love Winter, and get excite I have grown to really love Winter, and get excited with each snow fall. But I am already dreaming of being barefoot in the grass and foraging for herbs in the forest. There's nothing better than a late Spring breeze blowing through an open window and watching the forest explode with color and life. We still have a few more months before I can enjoy those things, so until then, I'll try to savor the cozy days of hot tea, cookies, crunchy snowy walks, and candle light. 
Are you itching for Spring already or happy with the snow?

We lost power for most of the day yesterday becaus We lost power for most of the day yesterday because of a windstorm. It's kind of like our snow day when this happens, so we spent the day making a fort in the living room, reading books and playing games. It was the perfect cozy day to bring out our latest @literatikids box. This month's box was by far Liam's favorite so far. (I'll show you what we got in my stories today) 
Our favorite monthly surprise, @literatikids has been sending us some really amazing and beautiful books to add to our little library. Head to the link in my bio if you are interested in 25% off your first box! Signing up is super easy. You choose which club your kiddo would fall into (books are chosen by age and reading level) then the 5 hand-selected books arrive at your door! You get a week to try out the books, then send what you don't want back for free. So far we have loved every book we have received! 📚 
When the power came back on last night, Liam and I were actually bummed😆 I love having a tech-free day and he loves building forts and using candles for light. He also loves when I cook a meal with our camp stove at home. It was nice to have running water again, though. That I definitely missed!

Have you ever put together a book basket? I use t Have you ever put together a book basket? 
I use to do these a lot when my son was a toddler and I decided to  make one today for #mtnwildstorytime to see how my 8 year old would like it. I was very surprised that he really loved it!! Even though everything in this basket are items we already own, it all seemed new and novel to him presented in a basket. Easiest story time ever! You can make these book baskets with any picture book, and I already have about a dozen ideas to share with you! Gather up things around your house that fit the theme or setting of the book. This could be a snack mentioned in the book, toys of the characters, coloring pages, seasonal items.... 
I gathered up some bear and wolf stuffed animals, wood toys, plastic toy animals, and paper masks. 
While we read through Bear and Wolf by Daniel Salmieri, my kiddo played with the bear and wolf toys and pulled out his rock collection and toy trees and set up a little forest scene. This story takes place during the Winter, so he took some white felt and laid that on the ground for snow. Then he decided he wanted to read through his wolf facts book (wolves are his favorite animal) and we watched some educational videos online about bears and wolves.  It was a long story time but the best one we have had in awhile. 
Happy reading ! 📚 
Don't forget to follow the hashtag to see all story time ideas!

Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD tincture duo! [#gifted] 
I need all the harmony I can get right now 🙏 
The energy enhancement tincture is peppermint and tastes real good in my morning coffee 😁 The sleep secured tincture is lemon flavored and perfect in a hot cup of chamomile at the end of a long day. The harmony blend doesn't have a flavor so can be added really to anything.  You can put a dropperful right under your tongue but I prefer adding it to beverages, myself.

I'm curious, do you use CBD daily, occasionally, or never ? (Topical or tinctures)
