The Liebster Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.  It is a way to bring attention to these blogs and build the blogging community.  The meaning of  Liebster in German means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome. I will begin by sharing the rules:

1.Thank the blogger who nominates you.
