The Awesome Blogger Award Tag!

Good morning! Today is a Monday post!!! If you missed my announcement about posting twice a week, get caught up by reading this post. 

So for today, I am doing a tag (or two, or three!) In the past, I had a page where I posted all the tags, but I have decided to do away with that page, and actually post these tags as individual posts! And it just so happens that I was tagged by three sweet blogger friends to do the #Awesome Blogger Award Tag! So let's begin! 

The rules:

Thank the person/blogger who nominated you (Thank you Molly, Mallory, and Liberty!!!)

Tag your post with #awesome blogger award

Answer all the questions given to you

Nominate at least 5 bloggers and inform them of their nomination

Give them 10 new questions to answer

Molly's questions: 

1. Do you like NASCAR? If so, who is your favorite driver?
Hmm, I'm not really big into NASCAR... although it might be fun to drive a race car just to say you did!?! *winks*

2. Have you ever been pulled over? If so, why and did you get a ticket and who paid for the ticket? 
No, I have never been pulled over. Thankfully! 

3. What is your least favorite musical instrument?
Um, I'm not sure on this one! But I've never been a huge fan of the Bagpipes...

4. What is the silliest/most embarrassing thing you did when you were a kid?
I've embarrassed myself a lot when I was a kid... still do! Many stories come to mind, but one would be when I went to the beach and found this really fun sand that would pop when you squished it... turned out the geese had a hand in creating this fun squishing sand. #notoneofmybestmoments 

5. What do you do when you're stressed?
Eat chocolate? 

In all seriousness though, I normally find that journaling helps a lot! 

6. What was the biggest/most expensive thing you bought that you regret buying?
Probably a harp. My parents bought me a harp when I was 10 or 11 and I played it off and on for three years, but ended up not sticking too it.

7. How many houses have you lived in?
I have lived in six houses...

8. What is the item that you most regret getting rid of?
Nothing comes to mind right now. :)

9. Who is your favorite author?
WHAT? I can't possibly narrow down!!!!

10. Do your siblings stalk your blog and discover who comments on it before you do? (mine do) ;)
On occasion they will, but not too often. (Not to my knowledge anyways!)

Mallory's questions: 

1. Why did you decide to start blogging?
Because I felt God leading me to start a blog. It first came as a question after I found the blogosphere, "What if I decided to start a blog?" and that question stuck with me until I took the step and pushed the "publish" button for the first time. And I'm so glad I did!

2. What is your favorite kind of animal?
Dogs and horses!

3. What is a smell that brings back a memory?
Good question! This isn't a smell, but whenever I taste strawberry ice cream I think of summer pool days at Nannies house when we would churn homemade strawberry ice cream! :)

(Sorry, that might have been really random and had nothing to do with the question! *headdesk*)

4. What is a tradition that your family has made that is different?
We have a lot of traditions that we have made different, but my favorite is we go camping up in the woods the day after Thanksgiving! 

5. Is there a song/artist that you like that is uncommon/unpopular?
Idk! I don't really keep up with who's popular or not, I just like who I like... Lol! 

6. Do you have a favorite brand (of food, clothes, anything….)?
Jean brands I like: Wrangler and American Eagle
Tennis Shoes: Brooks 
.

.
I guess thrift store clothes aren't a brand? XD 

7. If you drink soda, what is your favorite kind?
I don't drink pop that often, but I like root beer (especially a root beer float!), and sprite (especially mixed with lemonade!) 

8. Is there a TV show that reminds you of your childhood?
VeggieTales, and Curious George! 

9. Have you been to a concert before, and who played?
Yes! I have! Rascal Flatts.


10. Would you want to live in the future or past for a day?
Probably in the past?? 

Liberty's questions:

1. What is a song that always makes your day a little bit brighter?
I'm not sure. I guess any song that I have on my playlist makes my day brighter! (Especially if I'm cleaning...) *laughs*

Or... I just thought of one! There is a song we sing for Praise songs in church that always makes me smile. It's called Rescuer, and my Auntie, Uncle, and cousins learned it at family camp then came home and taught us all! I had never heard it before, but it's a good one! XD

2. How long can you hold your breath?
Ok, let me see. *gets stopwatch out* *holds breath* *face turns red* *almost passes out* 45 seconds! Hey, that's pretty awful... I might be able to do more if I were swimming under water.

3. What song always makes you happy?
Any song that I can smile at a inside joke with my sisters and cousins! We have many songs with stories behind them! Hehe!

4. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I'd go anywhere with my family! Family makes the trips I take special to me! Honestly, it doesn't matter the location! Although I do like places with mountains... or beaches!

5. What's your favorite childhood memory?
So many!!! But one that comes to mind is when I was 8 or 9, we found a nest of bunnies in our strawberry patch. For some reason, that memory has always stuck with me...

6. If there was any animal, wild of tame, you could have for a pet, what would it be?
We have all the animals that I love as pets, but if I were to choose a wild animal, it would have to be something crazy. Like a lion... but only if it was a trained pet, mind you. (I just recently saw a video of a baby lion that grew up with this man, and the lion was so sweet!) Course, on second thought, a lion's mane would take a lot of brushing!

7. If you could live anywhere in the U.S. where would it be?
Like I mentioned above, wherever is fine as long as I'm with my family! But I do think I would hate to live in a big city...

8. If you happened to be stranded on a island, what one thing would you want with you?
Yes, you guessed it: my family! 

Or a multi-tool pocket knife might come in handy! 

9. Iced tea, or lemonade on a summer day?
LEMONADE!!! I absolutely love lemonade!

10. What is your favorite Bible verse? 
I have so many! One that I really like that comes to mind now is: Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."
