Little Sunshine nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you so much! I hope that everyone will visit her blog. It is a beautiful compilation of travel stories, delicious recipes, some fashion advise, and great fitness and health tips for those of us in need of a great example on how to get there!  https://1617sunshineave.wordpress.com

Here are the the Sunshine Blogger Award rules!

  • Thank the person who nominated you!
  • Answer the 11 questions you were asked.
  • Nominate 11 other bloggers and let them know they were nominated.
  • Ask the nominees 11 questions.


Here are the answers to the questions I was asked:

  1. What do you do to stay fit? I walk a minimum of 3 miles most days, and want to get back to doing Pilates regularly and explore yoga.
  2. What´s your favorite food? South Indian cuisine served with homemade gunpowder and lemon pickle.
  3. What do you do to recharge after a stressful day/week? Relax on the swing outside and watch the birds in the forest behind us. During the winter, I watch them through the windows.
  4. What´s the goal of your blog? My goal is to keep the blogging fun and stress free, as well as sharing stories about my travels and cooking using photography and writing.
  5. Tell us your one bad habit? I am a very talented procrastinator!
  6. What is your favorite season? Spring, because I love to watch the garden come alive!
  7. Name your three favorite movies. I love the movie “Wild” (also the book), “Pulp Fiction” and “How to cook your live”.
  8. Early bird or late owl? I am definitely a night owl.
  9. What´s your favorite quote? “Always tell the truth! There is less to remember!”
  10. How do you stay organized when there is a lot to do? I try to have a general plan to help me stay on track. Not always easy, as I am prone to getting distracted.
  11. Do you have a favorite piece of clothing? I have some worn-out old t-shirts I still wear around the house and doing yard work. which remind me of where in the world I wore them!

Here are my nominees:

  1. Here is a cool blog I discovered this morning. Two sisters, one vegan, one a meat eater share this blog. It’s filled with great recipes! I love the way they interpret recipes both ways! So click and see what these sisters are cooking and baking today!  http://baconandbrussels.com
  2. Trudy’s http://www.rendezvousennewyork.com blog is a fantastic resource for anyone heading to the Big Apple, or just wanting to take a look at what’s happening there. Concerts, parks, exhibits, food … Go see for yourself!
  3. A fairly new-to-me blog, the http://acookingpotandtwistedtales.com written by Jaqueline. There are many wonderful topics this wordsmith covers.
  4. One of my very first followers, Patricia at https://vagabonvelda.wordpress.com  posts about medicinal plants used in making essential oils, her crochet patterns and her adorable golden retriever Strawberry!
  5. Another one of my favorite blogs is https://spencesgirl.wordpress.com.  Since retiring, she is keeping busy with traveling, cooking, snuggling her cats and making some impressive bath salts and bath bombs!
  6. Not too long ago, I discovered http://www.justmeplease.com , where Lee-Anne showcases travel destinations. She has been to soooo many places, my hat’s off to her! Go check it out and get inspired to see the world!
  7. Another blog I enjoy is the versatile https://susieshy45.wordpress.com. In it, she covers life with a great sense of humor, especially in her post about roundabouts!
  8. If you enjoy writing, reading and great coffee like Abbie-Lu, stop by her blog  http://abbielu.com for some good reads. I love the lay-out and content of this beautiful blog.
  9. Aspiring children’s author Cindy shares her book ideas, writing, tips on writing and helpful links at https://awritinglifeforme.wordpress.com .
  10. + 11.  Last but not least, I nominate the “twin bloggers” at Poppies and Popcorn! Joyce and Diane both post on this blog. I love the name of this blog, and the photograph on their homepage! I hope you’ll take a moment to visit and take a look around at http://poppiesandpopcorn.com.
So many places… Not enough time…

 

Finally, here are my questions for those who choose to participate! If you don’t, that’s okay too!

      Thank you Susie! You were amazingly quick in your response!! I hope that you will be able to visit the alps some day! They they beautiful and majestic! I grew up near the Swiss alps and loved going there occasionally as a kid. Last year my husband and I spent two week traveling around the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains on the French side. So worth a trip! I’ll check my photos and see if I can do a Pyrenees post! 😃 Have a wonderful week! 🏔

    I LOVEE your post, especially the pictures! So pretty! Thank you for those kind words, they make my heart real warm:-)
    Pilates and Yoga are two of my favorite ways to workout! All the best to you for starting!
    That quote is genius, I´ll keep that in mind, although I tell the truth 99% of the time anyway, because I´m the worst liar and it just comes out, without me stopping it, whatever it is…..
    Spring is a beautiful season, I love it too!
    Again, amazing post! XO

      You are welcome! I did Pilates for several years at a studio. They had group reformer classes. I loved it! Now I have a less expensive reformer at home, but really need to just do it!!
      Glad you liked the post! I am looking forward to more of your posts and will use them to motivate myself to take better care of my body!
      Have a great week, Sabine 😀

        That´s amazing! I love Pilates. But the great thing about most pilates moves is that you can do then anytime and anywhere… The only thing you need to do is indeed to just go for it.
        Wow, that is so amazing to hear. I´m so glad I can motivate you. I´ll definitely write more fitness stuff then;-)
        Have a great evening! XO Little Sunshine
