the sunshine blogger award

All I can say is thank you! Recently, I was nominated for The Sunshine Blogger Award by the incredible Maritime Mama. I used to see a lot of blogging awards being passed around but it's been a while. So, I am truly honoured to have been considered and be able to share this with other wonderful bloggers. Though there are many positive aspects of blogging...the sense of community is one of the best. That makes this award extra special. Thank you again to Maritime Mama for the nomination.

Maritime Mama's Questions

What are the top 3 things you cherish most in your life? My loved ones (husband, family, friends), my book collection, and good health.
If you could trade places with any animal for one day, which would you choose? A bunny rabbit because they are cute, get to hop around, and are totally lovable. (Can you tell that I want a bunny rabbit as a pet? I've wanted one for years. They are totally my spirit animal!)
What are two things that have made you happy recently!? Celebrating my four year wedding anniversary with a fun trip to the local zoo and spending lots of time reading.
Do you blog for fun or are you hoping to make a career with it? Blogging for me has always been something I love to do. It's a fun hobby that makes me happy and allows me to express who I am and what I love. If it ever turned into something more..that would be wonderful. For now? It is all about having a space where I can express myself and be creative.
What are your top 5, hands down, favorite Disney films? Moana, Cinderella, The Princess and the Frog, Peter Pan, Pocahontas.
Do you have any pets? What are their names? Currently, we have three fish. Baby Fish (who we raised from a teeny tiny baby fish, hence the name), Nemo, and Pebbles.
What would be your "perfect" day? My husband and I in Walt Disney World (specifically, Magic Kingdom) when the weather is mild, the crowds are low, and our budget is unlimited.
Do people in your every day life know about your blog? People in my life know that I have a blog but not a lot of people I know actually read my blog. Which is totally fine by me!
If you could choose an age to re-visit for however long you wanted, what age would you choose? I wouldn't choose to re-visit any age. I'm happy with where I am in life and I'm grateful for everything I've learned along the way.
If money were no object, what would you buy? A house and an annual pass to Walt Disney World.
What's your go-to meal when you have to make dinner? Kraft Dinner! Clearly I am not the chef in the family, so when it's my turn to cook, it's either Kraft Dinner, hot dogs, or frozen fries.
