Liebster Award

As new bloggers any attention or traffic to our site is exciting! When we discovered that somebody thought of us for the Liebster Award we were thrilled! Thanks for giving us some love Michelle over at Eating the Nibbley Bibs (check out her blog) .

To accept the award the following questions need to be answered and passed along (because we are a group of ladies, we broke the questions up amongst us) :

11 Facts about ourselves:

1.  Lauralee- I am the mother of 2 boys (ages 8 and 1).
2.  Lauralee- I was born with 2 extra teeth that grew up my nasal cavity. I had them surgically removed when I was in pre-school (unfortunately, they couldn't be removed by picking my nose. Trust me, I tried). So don't ever let anyone tell you there is no such things as human unicorns (haha).
