Sunshine Blogger Award!


The Sunshine Blogger Award

I am so excited to announce that I was recently nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award! It is an award given from bloggers to other bloggers. It is given to those who are creative, inspiring, and positive! I was nominated by Kate Lewicki of A Sprinkle of Everything and I am so thankful that she thought my blog fit the criteria for this award!

So, once you are nominated for this award the blogger is required to write a post in which they:

  1. Thank the blogger who nominated them and link back to their blog;

  2. Answer the 11 questions asked by the blogger who nominated them;

  3. Nominate 11 other blogs and give them 11 new questions to answer;

  4. Notify your nominees and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post!

Here are my answers!

1. How long have you been blogging? I actually just started this past June! It’s only been a little over a month now, but I am enjoying every minute of it!

2. Why did you start blogging? The main reason I started my blog is honestly because I am disabled (yes, it's invisible) and still working 30 hours a week (which for me is a lot!) and I am hoping to eventually turn this into my full-time job and make money from it. I also started my blog because after my wedding, I really missed the whole wedding experience. I felt like I had so much great advice that I wanted to share with the world!

3. What has been the hardest part of being a blogger? The learning curve! I’m having the hardest time figuring out how to work Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. I had never had a Twitter or Instagram before this so those are very new to me! Pinterest I have used before, but promoting a blog on Pinterest is a whole new level! Writing the articles, building the website and blogging in general is pretty easy and straightforward, at least for me. Also, finding the time with everything else I do has been quite a challenge.

4. Tell us a little about where you are from. Well, I’m from Mid-Missouri. So, there isn’t a whole lot of exciting stuff to say about it. The weather pretty much sucks, other than maybe 2 months out of the year. There isn’t a whole lot to do here either. But I do love my community and I'm not sure if I would move if given the chance.

5. Do you have any pets? I have 3 wonderful dog children: Bailey, Buddy and Chloe. Bailey is about 13 years old, Buddy is 4 and Chloe just turned 2. Buddy and Bailey were actually in my wedding! Chloe was still too young at the time, and too crazy.

6. What do you like to do in your spare time? Spare time? What is that? No, just kidding. I honestly watch a lot of TV when I’m not working at my job, on my blog, on one of my events, on my graphic design, or cutting/coloring someone's hair.

7. If money was no object, where you like to travel? I’d love to go to Jamaica again! I went once for a cousin's wedding years ago and I really loved it. I’d love to see the world, but I’ve never traveled much, so I would settle for seeing New York or Florida. I’d also love to go back to California again as well!

8. How many blogs do you read regularly? Not as many as I should. There’s really only 3-4 that I keep up with consistently. I really need to get better about that, but I just don’t have enough free time to keep up with them!

9. What do you do for a living? That’s a difficult question. My technical day job title is Vice President of Operations at a small CPA and Tax Resolution office. What does that mean? I don’t even know. I do everything there, but my favorite part is managing our Facebook and doing our marketing. What do I do besides that? I’m an event planner, hairstylist, makeup artist, and graphic designer. Not to mention running the blog and also hosting wedding resale events in my city.

10. Do you have any siblings? I do! I have one sister, Rhiannon, who is 2.5 years older than me and I have a baby brother (not a baby anymore), Logan, who is 8 years younger than me!

11. What does being nominated for a Sunshine Blogger Award mean to you? I am absolutely thrilled that I was nominated! I can’t believe I’m getting this recognition after only having this blog for a few short months!

These are my nominees!
