My 100th Post and Blogger Recognition Award!!!

I'm happy to announce this is my 100th post here at "The Life of a Homeschooler"! Thank you so much to all my friends and followers for being such faithful readers. It's an honor to celebrate this 'mileston' with you! Here's to 100 more posts and many more adventures!

Recently I was nominated by the beautiful Emma, over at Majestic Adventures, for the Blogger Recognition Award! Thank you dear friend!

Rules:

write a post to show your award -+- give a brief story of how your blog started -+- give two pieces of advice for new bloggers -+- thank whoever nominated you and link their blog -+- select other blogs to recognize as awesome bloggers!

How my blog started:

I was inspired by our friends Heather and Grace, a mother and daughter, who each had a blog years ago. Their blogs were so beautiful and I loved being able to keep in touch and read about their lives and adventures in another state. I made up a blog on my daddy's old laptop planning to send it out more like a newsletter to friends and family, but then the laptop died. Kaplewee! I later created a Blogger account and got to work. My sister and I experimented on many things in our free time. I've so enjoyed sharing with ya'll and getting to know you!

A piece of advice for new bloggers:

Be yourself. I know lots of other bloggers have said this, but it's true! don't worry about having a big audience. It is such a blessing to have a small, close group of followers.

Also, look around and find blogs that you relate to and love. Introduce yourself (a great place to do this is in the comments below! ;) ) or just follow and be inspired! There may be times when you run into a proverbial wall and can't think of ANYTHING to blog! We are here to support and inspire you. Find fun tags or do a follow-up post on someone's post that spoke to you.

But again, be original and be YOURSELF! :D

Thank you again Emma for awarding me! It was very special to do this for my 100th post since I was having trouble thinking of the perfect thing to blog about! ;)
