Liebster Award

**First off, I wanted to thank you all SO much for your sweet words on my "mommas boy" post the other day. Im glad to know Hudson isn't the only one. We have started to go to some story time/toddler play time at the library. So far he still grabs all the toys and brings them over to me. Im hoping the more we go the more it will help him :) Thanks again everyone, those comments made my day!**

Last week I was nominated TWO times for a liebster award :)

one nomination from Courtney @ The Hippie Chambers

Thank you girls so much! This means a lot to me!! Really it does...especially since this is my first week truly BACK into the blogging scene since I was MIA with no computer for a few months. 

This is why I LOVE blogging. I have "met" so many bloggers online. You feel like you really know them..and if only you lived in the same town you could have some play dates! haha. The blogging community is amazing. Its a great thing to be a part of. 

Leibster, (Leibste) meaning kindest, dearest, beloved, cute, endearing in German.

Awe..well that just made my day! I haven't had that many compliments all at the same time for a little while now haha!
