Liebster is a German word which means "dearest" or "beloved". It is also used to refer to as someone's "favorite" and the idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers that deserve more recognition and encouragement.
I was nominated by Jess over at My Notes On TTC and Life . She is a strong Christian woman who courageously shares her journey through fertility treatments
There are certain rules that come with the Liebster Blog Award
1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2. Reveal your top five picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
4. Hope that the people you've sent the award to forward it on to their five favorite bloggers and keep it going!
I have so many favorite blogs, but the ones who stand out currently are:
Mama Foster - Mama Foster has been a huge support for me. She goes through some very difficult things with her children and their families, but maintains a Christ-like love that I admire greatly.
Cherub Mamma - Another Christian Foster Mom who has also been blessed through adoption! She has the experience of bringing new children into a family that already has kids. She also has a special needs child who requires a lot of extra advocating and patience. Cherub Mamma holds no punches when describing the difficulties and joys of Foster Care and reading her posts always gives me the extra oomph to hang in there with my own cases.
I Must Be Trippin' - Tammy is a single Foster Mom who has had the sweetest little ones placed with her. She maintains an excellent post-reunification relationship with one of her children, and reading about it inspires me to dig deeper with our bios. She's also hilarious and can joke about the frustrating things in Foster Care.
Read The Books, Make Up the Rest - Daphne and her husband are just beginning their story with their 1st placement of 2 boys! I love peeking into their excitement as they navigate Foster Care as newbies.
Inside the Parent Trap - Mitzy is also a new foster Mom with her fist placement of a baby boy! Mitzy has bio-teens as well, adding a little spin to her foster experience.
Thank you for the award Jess! and Congratulations to all the other Liebster Blog Award Nominees!!
Congrats! I love your blog (and the ones you nominated)...just don't forget us little people (with our private blogs, boo) when you're a super star blogger ;)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through 'read the books, make up the rest'. I love reading other foster blogs - it gives us community in fostering, which can be a little lonely!
ReplyDeleteI also think it's great that we have the EXACT same hair cut. Even with the red streaks.
Great minds think alike!
Thank you so much for the kind words above. It really touched my heart. You described perfectly what I had hoped my blog was. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteToday was a pretty stressful day and I've got to decide on five blogs that I want to pass the award on to. But I wanted to say thanks right away!
