Liebster Award - Mid Michigan Mom

Hi there! If you follow blogs, you may have read a few entries about the Liebster Award. If not, it’s your lucky day! A little about the Liebster award first. It is an award that is shared among the blogging community to help fellow new bloggers grow. It should only be given to bloggers who have 200 followers or less on social media. Thank you to The Gold Brick Road for my nomination..here are my answers to your questions!

1. Why did you decide to start blogging?

I started blogging mainly for myself. It looked so fun and I needed a hobby, a creative outlet of some sort.

2. Of all the posts you wrote until now, which one is your favorite and why?

My first post for this blog =) It was a project for when I was leaving the family-again for a military obligation. I had all of the kids decorate/ color a sheet of paper and then we made them into chains. Each day, they would take down a chain and find a special message from me. It helped show the children when I would be home again and gave them something to look forward to each day =)

3. What’s your favorite quote?

My favorite quote is a Bible verse from Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 (KJV)

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

There is such wisdom in these 8 verses. There is a time for everything…a time to think of ourselves and a time to think of others. Whenever things do not happen right away (as I like them to), I remind myself of the above words.

4. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Do what’s best for YOUR family, despite everyone else’s opinion

5. What’s your idea of a perfect day?
A sunny day where I can play with my children and hear them laugh…a lot =) Then we would all fall asleep quickly out of exhaustion.

6. What’s an accomplishment you’re really proud of?
I’m proud of my military service =) I’m female veteran…not something you see every day in some parts of the world.

7. How would you spend a million dollars?
I would pay off all of our debt, then all of the debt of our family members, and set up a trust fund for college. I’d also plan a vacation or cruise trip for my family and extended family. Donate money to my favorite charities around Mildand to include Aaron’s Gifts From Home and The Shelterhouse and MOPS.

8. What’s your favorite family activity?
Staying a hotel with a water park inside. We all wear ourselves out…and I love how chores are forgotten.9. What’s your biggest pet peeve?
People who do not smile…ever. They exist and I can’t understand why.

10. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
While in the Air Force, I was stationed at a base in Japan. There was so much that I wanted to see/do but couldn’t. I had 2 small children and was pregnant. I want to go back and climb Mt. Fuji, travel all over the island and see more festivals.

11. What’s the number one thing on your bucket list?
Hmmmm, getting a degree. I was going full time until I got preggo with my first kid. I’ve put EVERYONE and everything before myself… my career, my children, my spouse…Now, I’m taking the steps to finally realize my dreams, well part of them at least!Now I would like to nominate the following blogs…drum roll please…

Congratulations on the Liebster award and THANKS for the nomination! This is a fun way to dip my toes into the Blogging Community and get to know other, fun bloggers. I feel I should disclose that I am a world-class procrastinator. So, I will totally do this award thingy, but it may take me a few days. 😉 Thanks again and it's great to hear you are finally pursuing your passions!
