The Liebster Award

 Imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered last week that I had received the Liebster  Blog Award from  JES @  http://heroinesofthefaith.blogspot.com. Her blog is wonderful; she has encouraging words for women of all ages. Please take a moment to stop by and visit her.  Thanks again, JES, for your kindness.   :)

I also received the award from Collette @  http://artmama.blogspot.com.  She never fails to impress me with her craft ideas and wonderful photography. Take a minute to stop by and say "hi".  You won't be disappointed.  Thanks again, Collette, for the vote of confidence.  :)

So, here is how the Liebster award works:  "liebster"  is a German word meaning friend, love, or dearest. It is awarded to blogs with 200 followers or fewer.  In order to accept the award, the honored blogger must write a post to thank the giver, with a link back to their blog...and then pass on the encouragement to five more bloggers.   What fun!   :)

Here are my five choices....

1.  Silvia @  Homschooling in a Bilingual Home  is a homeschool mom and has been  a wonderful encouragement to me this year since we started homeschooling using the Charlotte Mason approach.  Her blog is a treasure trove of helpful information.

2. Mary @ Mary's Little Corner   is a dear, sweet, friend who is always busy keeping her home, whether it's knitting, gardening, canning...and the host of other things she's so wonderful at doing.

3. Rebecca @ Country Mouse Musings   always has helpful homekeeping tips and yummy recipes to share.

4. Mary @ Raising Godly Children  is a mama to a large family who does excellent reviews and always takes time to blog about a favorite recipe..namely, caramel apples (yum!).

5.  Mrs. H @ A Future and a Hope   is always pointing me to the Scriptures. I am always refreshed after visiting her blog.

Many blessings,
