What the hell is a Liebster you ask? I asked the very same question and here is what I found (and by found I really mean copied from my new friend, Not A Typical Mom):
The Liebster award is German for “favorite” or “dearest” and is given to new blogs by fellow bloggers who like their work.
Awesome.
Wait! That means people actually read the junk I write. Suddenly I am feeling a little stage fright.
The Rules:
1. “Accept” the Liebster Blog Award on your blog.2. Link back/shout out to the blogger who presented the award to you.
3. Showcase the Liebster Award “icon” on your blog.
4. Present the Liebster Blog Award to 11 new blogs that you love/would like to be recognized.
5. Let the 11 blogs know they have been chosen by leaving a comment/or emailing the honoree.
Problem is, I don't know 11 other bloggers. So, feel free to help me out. Leave your favorite blogger's link in the comments and together we will present them with this award. See high school gym teacher, I am TOTALLY a team player.
So let's start this shall we?
11 Random Facts About Juicebox Confession:
1. I love anything that combines peanut butter with chocolate.
2. Unless it contains nuts. They are a deal breaker.
3. I can be quite the introvert until I am comfortable around someone.
4. People often mistake my introvert tendencies with bitchiness.
5. The last list I made of random facts was mostly answers my husband came up with. I am no good at this.
6. Last time he said that I make Wonder Woman look like she needs to put on her big girl panties and pull it together. I like that so I am repeating it.
7. Contrary to what my daughter will tell you, purple is not my favorite color. I don't have one. I just tell her that because it makes her so happy that we have the same favorite color. Which actually makes me love purple. Maybe I do have a favorite.....
8. I am a huge Star Wars fan. Huge.
9. I also love the newer Star Trek movies.
10. I have a huge nail polish addiction and subsequent collection.
11. I couldn't get into Mad Men. I tried, got bored, watched Bones instead.
11 Questions From Not A Typical Mom:
1.What motivated you to start blogging?
I got pregnant and realized that it was the weirdest time of my life and had to share.
2.What does your blog name mean?
I found myself ranting a lot and saying that I was stepping up onto my soapbox. Now that I am a mom that soapbox has turned into a juicebox. I try to keep my writing honest. Hence: Juicebox Confession
3.What are your writing habits?
Late night bouts of insomnia usually lead to a piece or two. I tend to write like I would talk. Then I read it out loud to my husband and edit as I go. I wish my answer was more academic than it is......
4.What advice would you give a new mother?
Don't listen to anyone who starts their "advice" with: You just wait until....... Parenthood is tough and exhausting and really fucking hard BUT it is worth it.
5.What is your favorite guilty pleasure TV show?
Just one? Grey's Anatomy. Or America's Next Top Model. It used to be Keeping Up With the Kardashians but we got rid of Kable. (See what I did there?)
6.What 3 things do you need to get you through the day?
Coffee, my iPhone, sleep. I am usually functioning on 2 out of three on any given day.
7.Favorite Holiday and why?
Halloween and Christmas are a tie. Who doesn't love to dress up and get free candy and who doesn't love Christmas. You know, besides the folks who do not celebrate either......
8.If you had to choose 1 celebrity to be stranded on a deserted island with whom would it be and why?
Niel Patrick Harris. I imagine he would make me laugh a lot and is nice to look at. Bonus points: he wouldn't try and make a move so I would actually be able to catch up on my sleep while I was there.
9.What are the best 5 words to describe you?
Confident. Insecure. Ambitious. Tired. Hopeful.
10.What’s on top of your bucket list?
Live fully.
11.Drink of Choice and why?
Caramel macchiato, extra caramel. Why? WHY NOT.
There you have it. Now I have to come up with 11 new questions. That is where y'all come in. Leave a comment with your favorite blogger AND a question you'd like to ask them.
Guess I should have added lazy to #9.....
Anyway, I am flattered that Not A Typical Mom nominated me and seriously worry about her sanity.
Thanks for reading!! XOXO
