Cinnamon's Spicy Life Awards Riley's Smile the Liebster Blog!

The Liebster Blog Award!

Thank you so much Cinnamon, I am honored to be in your company!

You always bring me a smile, even when you share life's challenges.

You have my full admiration.

Dear Reader, please hop on back to Cinnamon's Spicy Life and check her out... you'll be glad you did.

I love awards!  The funny thing is that I'm not writing or even blogging really.  I'm just trying to wrap my head around our life.  Hopefully, I help someone else get special needs along the way.

On with business...

in Cinnamon's words the Liebster Award works like this:

 

"... awards are wonderful.  It shows that someone else thinks that your writing is worth a crap, and that they want someone else to check you out too.  The ONLY downside of these awards, is that you must pass it along.  In this case, to 5 other bloggers.  They should have less than 200 followers.  This award is designed to help boost their readership by encouraging others to follow them.  BUT, that is the hard part.  Finding new bloggers to help.  Most of the ones that I follow and think are really great bloggers, already have huge followings….because they are so awesome."

Here’s the rules for this award.

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog.

2. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.

3. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.

4. Hope that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers.

You may not have noticed... but I have a theme... special needs.  As I mentioned earlier today, it rattles around my head.  I would like to pass on the award to some of the special needs blogs which I suspect to be under 200 followers (though it can be hard to tell for sure).
