{ I have been nominated for a Liebster Award! }


I would like to thank Rebekah over at All That Glitters for nominating me for a Liebster Award! This is very exciting. Thank you Rebekah!

Rules:
This award is given to new or up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers...the award is then passed along to other bloggers in the same category to help spread the word and support one another.

2. Answer the questions the tagger has set for you, then create 11 new questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.

11 Random Facts about myself:
1. My favorite season is fall - not too warm, not too cold.
2. My favorite color is lime green.
3. I have to have a fan on when I sleep. I also like to fall asleep with the television on.
4. History is my absolute favorite subject. I love learning about the past and my only regret is I will never get to experience the past first hand.

6. I am an only child.

8. My family takes our vacation every year to either Panama City Beach, Orlando or Clearwater Beach Florida. We have been doing so since I was six years old - I am almost twenty four.

10. I want to have several children. I would love to have at least five. 
11. My favorite grocery store is Publix (we do not have one where I live so I always have to wait until we go to Florida!) and Kroger is a close second.

11 Questions from Rebekah:
 
1. What is your favorite nail polish color? - Very rarely do I paint my nails because I bite my nails (D:) but when I do I usually like a bright red color.
2. What is your favorite season? - Haha, answered above - my favorite season is fall.
3. Do you like Instagram or Pinterest better? Why? - I like Instagram better because I love playing around with the various filters and seeing other people's photos. I hope to become a regular user of Pinterest now that I have more time to try out some of the things I see on there!
4. What was/is your favorite subject in school? History!
5. Lipgloss, lipstick, or neither? Neither. I prefer chapstick. However, when I get dressed up I will use lipgloss.

7. What is your favorite pattern? (chevron, polka dots, etc.) Polka dots!
8. Have you ever made anything from Pinterest? If so, what was it? No. I hope to soon though.
9. Would you rather drink coffee or tea? I'm not much of a drinker of either...although I do love sweet tea! I usually have a Coke in the morning - it's like my coffee!

{ Back from my trips! }

Hello everyone!

Long time, no post. My mom and I just returned from Walt Disney World in celebration of me graduating college. It was a fun two weeks there, but I am definitely glad to be back home. Before that, my dad and I went to New Orleans to watch our Louisville Cardinals play in the Sugar Bowl against the Florida Gators. Louisville won 33-23! It was an exciting atmosphere and I really enjoyed it. But I am glad to be back home and settled...I was sick on both trips (mainly just allergies and congestion) which was not fun.

Anyway, now that I am back on a normal schedule I will start updating more frequently. I look forward to really settling in now that I have the time to devote like I want to into this blog. 

Talk to you soon!

Kayla.
