Who doesn’t love an award? I received The Liebster Blog Award nomination from my friend Carly of BIG HOUSE, little table. What’s a Liebster Award you ask? Liebster is a German word meaning dearest, and the award is given to up-and-coming bloggers with less than 200 followers who deserve some recognition and support to keep on blogging. Thanks for the nomination Carly!
Here are the rules should you choose to accept:
1. List 11 facts about yourself.
2. Answer the 11 questions given to you.
3. Create 11 new questions for the bloggers you nominate for the award.
4. Choose 5 bloggers with 200 or less followers to nominate.
5. Go to each bloggers page and let them know about the award.
6. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.
Eleven facts about me:
1) I married a Texan (shhh!)!
2) I'm a born and raised Arkansan, and I'll live here until I die, period.
3) I'm a bit OCD... I can't sleep (or even relax) if my house is a mess, I only buy organic, and we're currently purging our kitchen of plastics.
4) I'm afraid of flying, but I love to travel, so I do it anyway with the help of
5) I'm Elliott's mom, and we'd like 3 more if the Lord will allow it.
6) Diet Coke is my weakness. I seriously can't give it up even though I know it's terrible for me!
7) I'm a college graduate, but I choose to do hair, because I love it, and I refuse to do something I don't love.
8) We own our own salon.
9) I'm not a natural blond. You would have never guessed, right? My God given color is a light brown, but you'll never see it. What kind of hairdresser walks around without color on her hair? :)
10) My Mom is my best (female) friend.
11) I'm a follower of Jesus Christ.
Carly's questions:
Q: If you could have any career in the world, with no limits, what would you be doing?
A: I would own my own salon. That has been my dream job since I was a kid. I'm just lucky enough I got to do it. But, if I couldn't do what I do (and I had the patience to go to medical school), I would be an OBGYN. I'm amazed by the miracle of pregnancy and childbirth. It is a beautiful thing.
Q: What would you say is your go-to recipe when you don’t have much time to think about dinner?
A: Tacos! We eat a lot of tacos.
Q: What is your favorite season?
A: Fall. I love everything about it, the colors, the cool air, the clothes, the food.
Q: If your house was on fire and you only had time to grab 3 things, what would you grab?
A: Elliott, Maggie (our cat), and our photos.
(Gary doesn't need to be grabbed, and Lola lives outside, or they would be on the list too.)
Q: What is your favorite trend about today’s style/fashion and what is your least favorite trend?
A: Favorite: tall boots. Least favorite: anything with fur on it.
Q: What is your favorite TV Show?
A: Vampire Diaries.
Q: Do you have a favorite makeup product or favorite hair care product?
A: Redken's Tousle Whip. It's amazing, I just put it in and let my hair air dry.
Q: What is most important to you in life?
A: My family.
Q: What is your favorite piece of jewelry and where did you get it?
A: I'm not much of a jewelry person. I wear 3 things everyday: my wedding ring, diamond studs my in-laws gave me at my college graduation, and a hand stamped ring with Elliott's name on it (from Box Turtle).
Q: If you could start a non-profit company, funding any cause you wish, what would yours be?
A: One that raised money to help parents with infertility with adoption fees or fertility treatments. Everyone should have the opportunity to be a parent if they have that desire in their heart.

A: London!
