Liebster Award!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!

The other week I was nominated by the super sweet Meghan for the Liebster award!


She posed the following questions for me to answer, so here goes:

1. What is the best book you've read in the last year?
Probably What Alice Forgot by Lianne Moriarty. But I've read a lot of great books this year, so it's hard to choose just one. (check out my Book Reviews tab for some more recommendations)

2. What does a "normal" day look like for you?
Waking up around 6:30, walking Cooper, eating breakfast and heading out the door by 7:30. At work with kiddos until 4, then back home to walk Cooper and work out. Talk to my best friend (most days), making dinner and unwinding from the day with the hubs. Cuddling with Cooper on the couch and heading to bed around 10. Nothing too nuts!

3. Manicure and pedicure or blow out?
As much as I love a good blow out, I'd take the mani pedi since they last longer than the blow out.

4. What is the one food you could eat every day?
Cheese. I'm a fiend for cheese. I'd eat it on top of things shredded, in slices on crackers, or just by itself. I'm a cheese lover, for sure.
{via}  lol--love this :)
5. What is the biggest item on your bucket list?
I don't know if it's bucket list worthy, but getting our basement re-done so that we can have a huge get-together with our friends to kick off the Summer is high on my priority list right now. Luckily we've started taking steps to get this done and hopefully will be finished with it soon!

6. What is been your favorite part of blogging?
I'm sure my answer is the same as most people's would be to this question, but it's meeting so many amazing women. The ones who are supportive, helpful, kind and caring. It's hard to find people like that, and I've found an abundance of them in the blog world. I'm super thankful for those relationships and the support network that comes with it!

7. How do you relax?
It depends. Sometimes it's working out, other times it's vegging in front of the tv, or reading outside. Anything that distracts me from any of the stresses of daily life.

8. Favorite drink?
Wine (duh), or an Arnold Palmer (dirty!)--perfect for a summer drink!

9. What is your dream vacation?
Going to the Maldives. It looks like Heaven.
Greece is pretty high up there as well!

10. What is your favorite room in your house/apartment and why?
Right now I'd say it's our guest bedroom. It looks so put together and "adult" to me. I love walking by it every day and seeing how clean it looks.
But, to be fair, I love all of the rooms that we've done updates to because it shows all of the hard work that we've done to make our house feel like a home.

I nominate the following 5 bloggers for the Liebster award:

Courtney@Eric and Courtney

Here are your questions:

1. If you could pick up and go to any state in the U.S. right now, where would it be and why?
2. Sweet or Salty?
3. What are you looking forward to most this Summer?
4. If you could sit and read a book for an entire day, what genre would you choose?
5. What day of the week is your favorite and why?
6. Are you on Pinterest? What types of things do you pin the most? Link to your board.
7. What's your favorite app on your phone?
8. When you're having a rough day, what are some things that you do to de-stress?
9. If you could change careers right now, what would you do?
10. What's your favorite dessert and/or appetizer?

Thanks for nominating me, Meghan!!

  2. I still need to read What Alice Forgot. I think I need to download that when I get home before I forget again! I couldnt agree more about a mani/pedi! As much as I love a good blow out, the massage you get WHILE getting the mani/pedi is perfect. And yes to cheese. Seriously, I could eat cheese on pretty much everything!

  24. Congrats! Most people don't think of exercise as relaxing, but I do! Especially during this pregnancy. I feel much more hormonally balanced when I work out, which is in turn relaxing. I LOVE your guest bedroom too.
