 I have been blogging for just a couple of months now (actually started last year, with a couple of articles but didn't really push through with it until now) and was surprised to be nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by Lauren Suggs of <a href="http://twintestedpinapproved.wordpress.com/">Twin Tested, Pin Approved</a>. Thanks a lot Lauren! I gladly accept the award! Wow, my first ever blog award! This is just awesome! I really appreciate the nomination and the opportunity to write this post and meet fellow bloggers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 
To start with, I didn't know anything about the award so I decided to ask my friend, Google, to help me out on this one. As it turns out, the blog award has German origins, the word “Liebster” has several definitions: kindest, nicest, beloved, dearest, sweetest, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart and boyfriend. All the nominees are already winners once they accept the award and pay it forward. It's basically a blogger to blogger award that works like a chain letter that could be considered good or bad which entirely depends on the person receiving it. In my case, I think it's an awesome way to meet other bloggers and discover & support new blogs as well!</div>
