I have to admit, being a new blogger I had never heard of the Liebster Blog Award before but as I’m German I at least understood the word “Liebster” which means favourite or dearest. I had to Google all the details about this award but it’s basically a great way to discover new up and coming blogs and get to know other bloggers. So here are the rules:

1. Acknowledge and thank the blog who nominated you.


2. Look for an award image that you like, and post it on your blog.

3.  Answer the 11 questions asked by the person/blog who nominated you.

4. List 11 random facts about yourself.

5. Nominate 11 blogs with under 200 followers to receive the award.

6. Let the bloggers know that you nominated them.

7. Give them 11 questions to answer.


Here are the answers to the questions that I was given to answer:

1. How long have you been blogging?

I’ve been blogging for three months now and really enjoy it!

2. What is your favorite hobby (aside from blogging)?

Yoga!!!

3. What is your favorite kind of flower and why?

I’m not much of a gardener even though I’d like to learn but I love roses even though they are quite high maintenance I discovered! I love red roses, they are beautiful, classy and sting if they are not treated right.

4. Can you roller skate?

Not really… Actually I don’t know! It’s been quite a long time! Must try it again…

5. What is your favorite Holiday?

My favourite holiday is Christmas (I think that’s what Young Earthy Mama means)! Actually it’s Advent that I love. I love Christmas markets, mulled wine, home made cookies and everything christmassy! 

6. What are your personal goals for 2015?

I’m currently training to be a yoga teacher so my first goal is to start teaching of course! I also want to try to live more healthily, drink more water and home made juices. 

7. Your house is on fire, and you can grab 2 things (not counting pets or family members), what would you grab?

My iphone (never though I would ever say that) and my passport 

8. Tell me about your favorite vacation?

As a child I always went to the Atlantic coast of South West France on holiday and I have great memories. I loved the area so much that I married a man from that region so we usually spend our holidays there! 

9. What is your biggest pet peeve?

I think it must be scratching with a knife or fork over a plate (good thing my kids only get plastic plates!!)

10. What is your favorite TV show?


At the moment it’s Game of Thrones but I’m not watching it because if I start then I can’t stop!!!

11. What do you think is the best blog post you have written? Link please!

8 Reasons I Love My Sister was probably the most fun to write!!

11 Random facts about myself:

1. My favourite pet as a child was Moppel my rabbit who was eaten by a dog (traumatising!)
2. I love Haribo
3. I was a foreign exchange student for a year when I was 16 and lived in Minnesota, USA.
4. I’ve lived in Germany, Belgium, USA and the UK (where I’m now)
5. I don’t like corn from the tin
6. I stand on my head for about 5 minutes a day (trying to increase that)
7. I make funny noises when I sneeze (apparently like a hamster)
8. I was born on a Sunday

10. I broke my arm just before my first day at school
11. I would like to be vegetarian but I love meat too much
