A while back I received a nomination for Very inspiring Blogger Award. I was so busy that to date I had not had the chance to properly accept the award.
1. Thank you Eva of Healthy Glow Nutrition for my nomination. Sorry for only accepting now.
2. 7 things about myself:
I am a Wife, a Mother and a self taught Photographer.
I love my husband and two boys with all my heart.
Photography is my passion.
I love to be outdoors in nature, but unfortunately I can’t do my editing in the middle of a field.
I love wearing black, blue and earthy colors.
Respect and good manners is very important to me and I my boys have been taught the importance of it. ( Everywhere I go I get lot’s of compliments on my boys behavior)
I love music and the radio is on 24/7/365
I must be honest it is very difficult to choose only 15 bloggers. Every one of the blogs I follow are brilliant and I love each and everyone of them.
