Liebster Award & what now???

The Liebster Award is an honor that gets passed around by new bloggers to other up-and-coming blogs that have 200 or fewer followers, and have been blogging for 6 months or less.  It’s a great way for all of us newbies to network and meet other bloggers in the same stage of hair pulling confusion as we are…..
