Hello my lovely friends, today I’m at it again with another tag. Today I’m doing the Sunshine Blogger Award for the third time! Thank you Lois and David @Lois Reads BooksΒ for tagging me. I’m honoured to be awarded this three times. So let’s get started!
Rules:
- Thank the person(s) who nominated you in a blog post and link back to their blog.
- Answer the 11 questions sent by the person who nominated you.
- Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write them 11 new questions.
- List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post and/or on your blog.
Lois and David’s Questions:
When did you start blogging and why?
I started blogging years ago… gosh it’s been 10 years, someone hold me, how has it been that long already? Anyways I first started because I liked to write, then I got obsessed with documenting my life, and now it’s a combination of both.
What is your favourite TV show, why and would you recommend it to others?
One Tree Hill. Every time I watch the show I find something else to love about it. As I get older the characters relate to me in different ways, and it’s just a show about love, and friendship; the hardships of life, as much as a lot of it is very dramatic, it’s also very relatable.
How do you manage time to run your blog efficiently?
I’m not really sure, to be honest I just try to find time toΒ do everything. I spend a lot of my weekends drafting up all my posts for the week. Each month I sit down and map out each blog post for that month. Sometimes if I’m feeling crazy, I’ll shake it up, but being organized really helps.
What is your proudest achievement?
In life, or on the blog? For life I’d say putting myself through school, that was some tough stuff but I did it. For the blog, I’d have to say just continuing to grow and get better with each day.
Who are some of your favourite bloggers and why?
Okay now you’re asking me to name names. I wouldn’t say I have any favourite bloggers, but I do have some good friends:
Beth @ Reading Every Night
Birdie Bookworm
Gretchen @Chic Nerd Reads
Sarah @ Between the Pages
Jacquie @ Rattle the Stars
Lauren @ Wonderless Reviews
There are so many more, the list could go on. Each and every one of these girls are special in their own ways π
What do you do when you arenβt blogging or reading?
Work? I feel like I barely do anything but work. I watch TV, I have a very boring life.
Where do you hope to see yourself 5 years from now?
Alive, working a cool job maybe, and maybe moved out of my parents place… but with the economy the way it is, who knows?!
What is your favourite food and why?
Mac & Cheese because it tastes so good, and you can add so many things to it and it still tastes so good.
If you could ask any author three questions, who would the author be and what questions would you ask?
Quite possibly I’d talk to Oscar Wilde. I’d ask him where his inspirations came from to write his only novel. Why he only chose to write one novel. And maybe what his favourite colour is, to switch things up.
How often do you buy books?
Not very often. Once or twice a month. It all depends, if I’m in the mood to buy books or not. If I know I’m not going to read a book again chances are I’m not buying it.
What are 5 things you never leave the house without?
I could list you five things in my wallet alone, but definitely my wallet, phone, lip chap, keys, and hand sanitizer. (And lip chap is a big one, trust me I didn’t bring it with me, I had to go all day without it, ugh my poor lips).

Great answers for this tag Meghan, it was great learning more about you from this.
Wow I can’t believe you’ve been blogging for ten years already. Just wow! It’s amazing you’ve stuck at this for so long and I guess it just shows how much you’ve enjoyed blogging as well Honestly, I was amazed when I reached one year, god knows if I’ll be able to get to ten.
Thanks so much for the shout-out, I definitely consider you one of my good blogging friends as well! π β€
And yes, never leave the house without lip chap. I've done that a few times and have bitterly regretted it!

Thanks Beth! I know when I thought about it, I made my first blog in 2007, it still feels like yesterday. Mind you it wasn’t the best blogging haha, but it’s shaped me to be who I am today.
I’m sure you’ll make it! π I have faith.
You’re welcome! π β€

That’s all right. And I can imagine that, sometimes 2007 feels like yesterday for me as well, sometimes when I started blogging feels like yesterday too! π

It sounds like you and I have a similar blog regiment. I map out my posts for a whole month too, and do a week drafts ahead of time. π
I definitely consider you one of my blogging friends too! Thank you!

Isn’t it just easier that way? I feel so much more organized that way. Adding last minute things can be a bit of a pain, but I’m still able to work around it.
Yay! You’re very welcome! π

It’s so cool that you’ve been blogging for so long! I used to use LiveJournal back in the day and the blogging community really reminded me of that and I love it.
Aw, thanks so much for the shout out β₯β₯ I definitely think the same about you π

Thank you! Oh no I was on a site called Buzznet.com, (they have deleted everything I ever published there, and that’s why I’m here on WordPress) and I used to just go by my name, until last year when I decided to change it for the better!
You’re very welcome, I look forward to your post! π

Buzznet deleted your stuffs? That’s not right! Hopefully you still have a copy in your computer. I used to keep a duplicate copy on my computer but I got lazy and now everything I have is just on WordPress. Hopefully they don’t delete it π

I doubt WordPress would delete its user content, but yeah everything is pretty much on my computer and I’m trying to repost it here.
