Hola! It’s the weekend again, and I am posting about winning an award. Again. I should just set up Award Winning Saturday or something like that, right? Honestly, I am very surprised that I got nominated again, and I am also overwhelmed by the love from my fellow bloggers. So much love!

This time, I was nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Sadie’s Nest and for the Starlight Blogger Award by Healthy in All Hues. Thanks, gals! I love you so much!
I really really want to pop open that bottle of tequila to celebrate, so I will not delay anymore. Let’s get on with those awards!
Versatile Blogger Award
These are the rules
1. Show the award on your blog.
2. Thank the person that has nominated you.
3. Share 7 different facts about yourself.
4. Nominate 15 blogs of your choice.
5. Link your nominees and let them know of your nomination.
Here are 7 random facts about myself!
- I am a geek. Yes, really. Do you want proof? I wear glasses (contacts in public), I have allergies, I love sci-fi movies, and I normally start a conversation with the line- “I read that…”
- I was also a very good student when I was in school. I always got A’s, I always knew all the answers, I always did my homework, and I never ever got in trouble. If you must know, other kids picked on me.
- I was extremely shy when I was little. I was so shy, I hardly ever talked or smiled at other people! MyΒ teachers suggested therapy but my parents said I would outgrow it. Eventually, I did. See? Kids really do turn out fine!
- I have three kids. The oldest is 17, the middle kid is 7 (almost 8!), and the baby is 2. Sometimes, I look at my oldest son and I feel happy he is almost grown up because that means I am almost done with shepherding him. But then, I remember I have two other little kids and I feel suddenly tired!
- When my husband and I got married, everyone said we were too young, and some people thought we would get divorced after a short while. Honestly, we really were very young,Β but we’ve been married for 18 years. Take that, haters!
- I am a stay-at-home mom right now, but I help my husband with his business. He is a dog trainer, and he has a school for dogs. I’m not joking! Have you heard of Cesar Millan? It’s sort of like that.
- Finally, I enjoy singing. I sing in the shower, I sing while cooking, I sing while cleaning, I sing to my kids all the time. I only stop singing when I am sad or stressed out.

These are the three original questions
- If you could describe or picture your inner soul how will you describe it?Β I think everybody’s soul is like a light inside of us. That’s how I picture it.
- What are you working on right now?Β I have a lot of things I want to post about because there’s a lot going on in Mexico during the fall. I have it all in my head, but I just have to find the time to write it down. And take pictures. And edit. And, you know how it goes!
- What is your creative dream project? I would like to write a whole book about Mexican dishes and the back story to each of them. That would be fascinating for me! Besides, I would have to travel all over Mexico and taste different recipes. Sounds good, right?
Questions from Healthy in all hues
- What advice would you give for people new to blogging? Set aside a place and a time for you to write. You can’t just say you’ll do it when you can or in your free time. You really have to put blogging on your agenda or it will never happen.
- What is one creative project you are working on right now? Hmmm, good question. Does writing this month’s blog posts count? I sure hope so, because that’s exactly what I am working on!
- What is one goal you want to achieve by the end of the year? I want to reach the 50 posts mark on my blog, and double the number of daily views. I also want to lose Β 5 more pounds. Anything is possible!
My Starlight Bloggers Award Nominees
Once more, I think these are bloggers that deserve more and more recognition!
- Sadie’s Nest
- Skill up skillet
- The traveling gals
- Polka dots and curry
- Happiness wherever
- Paper coffee store
My questions for the nominees
- What is your biggest challenge when it comes to blogging?
- What advice would you give to newbie bloggers?
- What motivates you to keep blogging?
Again, I hope you all decide to accept this award and spread the love!
Congratulations, everyone! And thanks!
Congrats!
