My Liebster Award Nomination

April 8, 2018

 

 

LIEBSTER AWARD NOMINATION

I have been nominated for the Liebster Award! The Liebster Award is an online award, given to bloggers by bloggers. Read about it more here.

I was nominated by It Takes One, Hannah. She posts and talks about married life on the farm and has some inspirational posts that she shares, thanks again Hannah!

The rules for the Liebster participation are:

Liebster Rules
1.Thank the person who nominated you, and place a link for their blog on your blog.
2.Display the award on your blog.
3. Write a small post about what makes you passionate about blog posting.
4. Provide 10 random facts about yourself.
5. Nominate 5-11 blogs that you feel would enjoy blogging about this award.
6. List these rules in your post.
7. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated.

What makes me passionate about blogging?

Mainly because, it’s for me. I’m not writing a paper for school or report for work. Its whatever I want my blog and content to be about. I love talking about my kids (which parent doesn’t, duh) but also my experiences and reaching out to other parents who can also relate. I also love to promote the working mommy and self care. To advocate for work/life balance. To empower the working Mommy and ensure she can have the career, and the family. My blog is my place, my safe haven to talk about what I want and, hence the name, not filter myself!

 

10 Random Facts about me:

I am deaf in one ear from a fall when I was just 18 months old.
I was also born with a cleft palate, and had surgery to repair it when I was just a baby
I have started courses to be a Realtor and Interior Design, both I abandoned
I’m a certified Make Up Artist, graduated from Vancouver Film School.
I’m born and raised on a large island in Canada
I have 2 kids, a dog and a hubby
I work full time while also going to school for my Human Resources Diploma.
No I am not crazy!
I have a love for cereal, it is my bedtime snack
I gave birth to both daughters with no drugs, and my 2nd at home in water

My Questions from Hannah

1.What is your biggest fear?
God, my biggest fear. The world is scary, I have a lot. What if my girls don’t look up to me? What if I don’t succeed in the capacity I am striving for?

2. What is the riskiest thing you’ve ever done?
Riskiest….Literally probably give birth at home with pretty much no midwife here until the moment she was born. She almost missed her!
When I was 20 I up and left my home town to work for the summer in a national park, I had never heard of, knowing no one, all by myself. Was the best summer of my life.

3. What is your favorite season of the year and why?
Summer, hands down. I love not being cold. I love the sun kissed skin, and being outside, the beach, picnics with my family!

4. If you could have one more hour with someone who has passed, who would it be?
My Granny, especially now. So much has happened since I last saw her. I would love her to meet my husband and kids. See me now 🙁

5. What is your favorite kind of social event to attend? (i.e. weddings, sporting events, etc.)
I’m a homebody by nature, so nothing crazy. Maybe dinner and a movie. Weddings are hit or miss. Depends whose wedding 😉

6. What is your favorite app on your phone?
My Amazon app. You can say my prime membership is worth it!

7. Where is your happy place?
Snuggled in with my kids as they fall asleep. They could have been absolute assholes all day, but as soon as they are completely relaxed, even breathing and just sweet angelic look as they sleep. All bets are off. I could stay there all night. Sometimes I do.

8. Where would you travel to if money weren’t an issue?
The Maldives. It looks magnificent.

9. What is your guilty food of choice?
Gosh, anything with gooey cheese or horribly bad kids cereal. I’m not even joking.

10. What is your morning routine?
Weekday: run around late, getting everyone ready and out the door
Weekend: Coffee, coffee, coffee and stay in pajamas for as long as possible.

 

My Questions for my nominees:

You’re entire house is sick for a week, describe what your house looks like.
Describe your “momma’s gonna lose her shit moment”
Which would you rather as a snuggle buddy, a polar bear, Koala or sloth?
If you could BE any celebrity, who would it be and why? Get nitty gritty
You check your lotto ticket with a huge line behind you and it comes up that you’ve won the jackpot. Do you 1) immediately dance and celebrate shouting you’ve won 2) hide the ticket and run away 3) faint
You’ve just won the Lottery. What is the very, very first thing you do with your new winnings?
You can get a face transplant with anyone in the world, who do you choose? why?
The Goonies, Labyrinth or The Breakfast Club?
Going to bed at 9PM on a Friday is completely acceptable, true or false?
What is a book you love so much that you’ve read it over and over?

 

Thank you again Hannah for the nomination and I’m looking forward to seeing my nominations answers!

-Erin XO

Hi, I’m Erin!

Hi, I’m Erin!

Hey! I’m Erin. I’m a Mommy to 2 beautiful girls who also works full time and believe it or not, go to school part time. Because I thought I wasn’t busy enough with all that, I figured let’s really push my sanity and blog about my nonsense. This is a place of unapologetic truth. I LOVE being a Mommy, but I am human. I don’t glamorize that shit. I live in Canada, British Columbia for all you geographically correct Mofo’s. I love Wine, my kids, Bubble bath and ‘me’ time. Ie: folding laundry while watching Netflix.
