I am thrilled to bits to announce that I have been honoured with a Liebster Blog Award. I was selected for the award by my new blogger friend Vicky—the creator of an amazing blog called Gluten Free SCD and Veggie.
Vicky is a UK mother of three who has been vegetarian for over 30 years. When her youngest son was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2006, she got busy searching for a diet strategy to help him deal with the disease naturally. After several successful years of creating healthy whole food recipes, Vicky is able to provide a wealth of recipes and resources on her blog. I hope you’ll have a look at it!
Thanks so much, Vicky!
The Liebster Blog Award
Liebster is a German word meaning "dearest." The Liebster Blog Award is given to blogs with less than 200 followers, and recognizes the blog author's creative writing and dedication. It also helps to bring blog owners together to exchange ideas and information.
As a Liebster Award recipient, it is my honour to pass the award along to five fabulous bloggers. It was no easy task to select them, because there are so many wonderful blogs that I love to read. But, these are some of the ones that I turn to most often for my daily dose of inspiration.
Who Do You Love?
First, I want to note that Vicky also gave an award to Ella at Lifeologia. Ella’s lovely blog is one of my absolute favourites and I read it faithfully. As an added bonus, we both live in the Greater Toronto Area.
My other fabulous favourites are:
This beautiful blog explores cooking, thrifting, style, design, music, photography and healthy living. Its creator, Wendy, lives a “laid back life in Florida” and she is clearly a woman with great spirit. I admit I'm jealous of the Florida thing!
This wonderful blog is authored by another spirited woman, who writes about crafts, the renovation of her house “Cecilia,” her three “wonderfully weird teenagers,” hunting for bargains, playing with fashion and teaching college history in a Tennessee mountain town. She notes that “brainy is beautiful,” and I believe her!
Karen is a big fan of white, and her tranquil blog proves it. She aims to furnish her home beautifully on a budget, using white with a splash of vintage and shabby chic. I am sure you will agree the effect is lovely.
4. Casa de Luna
I have been reading and loving Lynette’s blog for quite a while now. She started it as a creative outlet to share her adventures in crafting, bargain shopping, photography, cooking , party planning, flower loving and living the life she always imagined. I guarantee you will love her floral arrangements!
This blog is a relatively new discovery for me. I was excited to find it, because the food looks amazing! The author is a mother, a certified health & nutrition coach and an Italian vegan cook. Like me, she is addicted to cooking and grocery shopping. Have a look—you’ll be hooked!
Thank you, ladies, for all of your ideas and inspiration!
