Liebster Award

Hi friends,

Guess what! I was nominated for a Liebster Award! This was a sudden surprise but an exciting one at that! A super big thanks to Tiffany from Arrows and Awe for the nomination! It’s always lovely when fellow bloggers recognize you and your hard work. Go give Tiffany some love because she’s awesome!

So you’re probably asking, “What’s the Liebster Award?” Don’t worry, I wondered the same thing. The Liebster Award is a way for bloggers to discover new blogs. And it’s working. I’ve already found quite a few that I now love and will be reading on the regular.

Rules

1. Create a post about the award, thank the person who nominated you, and link back to them.
2. Answer the 10 questions that your nominator asked.
3. Nominate 10 other bloggers who have 200 followers or less.
4. Ask 10 questions for those you nominate.
5. Notify your nominees via social media.

Pretty simple, right? Although for the 200 followers or less, I’m not sure what form of social media it’s referring to, so I’m going to disregard that and share bloggers who are awesome and I want you to know about. :)

Tiffany’s Questions

1. How did you come up with your blog name?

• My last name is Fox and a fox’s home is called a den. Because my blog started out as a way for me to show my friends and family what home renovations and DIY projects I would be working on, Inside the Fox Den seemed like an appropriate name because you’d be getting an inside look at all the happenings in my home!

2. What is your favorite thing about blogging?

• Networking and connecting with other bloggers. I now have friends in Colorado, California, Alabama, Arizona (to name a few) that I never would’ve met otherwise! Take the lovely Tiffany from Arrows and Awe, who nominated me. She’s from Florida, I’m from Pennsylvania. We never would’ve gotten to know each other if it weren’t for blogging!

3. What is your favorite store to shop for home goods?

• Antique shops and thrift stores. You never know what you’re gonna find! Also Target. ;)

4. How would you describe your decorating style?

• Eclectic industrial chic. Not a thing, but whatevs. I love mixing new pieces with antique finds, juxtaposing metal and wood, and adding unique pieces in the mix.

5. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

• London, England. I’m obsessed in love with a city I’ve never been to.

6. What is your favorite way to vacation? I leave for a cruise in 28 days! I want to know do you like cruising, flying to your destination or something else?

• I’ve only ever flown or driven. I’d love to take a trip by train though. Bucket list!

7. What has been your biggest challenge with your blog so far?

• When I first started out, the biggest challenge that I had was consistently posting. I didn’t start my Monday & Thursday weekly posting schedule until about February of this year. But I stuck to it and I’m so glad I did!

8. What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

• I don’t really ever do anything crazy. I’m lame, I know. I need to work on that. ;)

9. What was the best birthday you’ve ever had?

• Probably my 11^th birthday. My parents rented out a hotel pool for my friends and I, and we had a huge pool party. Afterwards, my best friends and I got to spend the night in a suite. It was fun, different, and I felt like the coolest 11 year old ever!

10. What is your favorite family tradition?

• Whenever my family gets together (typically at Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) we end up playing games like Catch Phrase or Heads Up. We can’t play for lengthy amounts of time though, because we end up rolling on the floor laughing. Or, when little ones are involved, they want to play Hide and Seek and I end up shoved in a coat closet.
