Wishing you good cheer, good health, good books, good friends, and good times in 2013. Thank you all for reading this blog!
And thank you, Sarah, for continuing to be a solid representation of a bilingual blog in this amazing community! Whether the first, or one of the first, I continue to be impressed for the past 3 years since I dove into this blogging and bilingual adventure. I've modeled my site after your amazing organization, gotten excellent ideas and inspiration from you and yours, and really appreciate all the time and energy you put in to make a difference. Thus, it would make tons of sense that I'd nominate you for the Liebster Blog Award! Not sure if you've heard about it, but here's a layout for you to check out, and participate in if you feel so inspired (hope so, it's great fun!!!).
ReplyDeleteHappy New YEar to your whole sweet family!
All the best, from a fan of yours in the Northwest,
Tamara

I nominated you for a Liebster award. Kind of like a meme. Check out the details on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteTamara and S.--thank you so much for your kind words and for nominating me for the Liebster award. My neglected blog and I thank you! I wish I could find or make more time to write more (and pass the award on to other bloggers). Please know that I am honored!
