The Liebster Award

amomentwithfranca · 11 June 2015 · 2 Comments

I’m so excited about being nominated for the Liebster Award. This is a huge surprise for me as I have been only blogging for 2 weeks! I’m very flattered and grateful, so thank you so much to Lizzie from Firstooth who has nominated me for this award. Lizzie has a lovely blog where she shares posts about yummy recipes, beauty, family days out, money saving and more so go and check out her site!

liebster-award

I didn’t know what a Liebster Award was at the beginning so I did some research and it is an award given by bloggers to up and coming bloggers to get to know each other. In accepting the Liebster Award there are some rules to follow as best as you can:

1) Acknowledge the blogger who nominated you and link to their blog.
2) Post the Liebster Award badge on your blog.
3) Write 11 facts about yourself.
4) Nominate 4-11 bloggers (with fewer than 1,000 Twitter followers) who you feel deserve the award.
5) Answer the 11 questions posted by the blogger that nominated you.
6) Write 11 new questions for your nominees.

11 Facts about Myself

  1. I’m Peruvian so I speak Spanish
  2. I don’t like wine (any type at all. I know what you are thinking… very strange, right?)
  3. I was a practicing lawyer in Peru (not anymore as I moved over here)
  4. My guilty pleasure is watching reality shows, especially Made in Chelsea
  5. I’m an online shopping addict. Especially on Amazon
  6. I’m in love with cats, they are so adorable and soft
  7. I’m claustrophobic, so I hate being in crowds and small places
  8. I love shopping in H&M and Desigual
  9. I hate clutter. I can’t stand untidiness.
  10. I have a Masters in Business Law which I did in Madrid
  11. I managed to convalidate my law degree in the UK so I have a degree in law here

Oh my God this was incredibly hard to do! It took me ages but it is finally done. Let’s carry on to the next part which is answering the questions that the lovely Lizzie has prepared for me.

Questions from Lizzie (Firstooth)

  1. What is your biggest secret?

    Mmm, cheeky! If I tell you it would not be a secret anymore right? But because I like you I will tell you. I really love One Direction and I’m secretly in love with Harry Styles, but shhhh… please don’t tell my husband!! LOL

  2. Do you have a guilty pleasure?

    Yes. Made in Chelsea is my guilty pleasure. Love it!!

  3. What’s the hardest thing you’ve had to do?

    Studying for my conversion course (GDL: Graduate Diploma in Law) at the same time that I was working and also having my first daughter. This was incredibly hard. Very tiring.

  4. When you get a spare hour how do you spend it?

    Watching TV or videos on Youtube.

  5. If you could live anywhere, where would you live?

    After living in Peru, Madrid and now London I can say that I’m very happy here although I could be even happier if we could have a proper summer but I guess I can always go away to any place with beaches or go back home for a nice and warm holiday.

  6. What made you decide to start a blog?

    I really wanted to start writing about my experiences of being a mother and being able to talk about any topic that I fancy as it is very therapeutic to me. I find the power of social media amazing. All the things that you can say and do and to be able to spread your words every where.

  7. What’s your favourite type of blog to read?

    I love the parenting & lifestyle blogs like ours and the beauty blogs. But I also enjoy a lot the deco & interior blogs. I love how a room can be changed into something amazing just by choosing the correct decoration.

  8. Is the experience of being a parent different from how you imagined it?

    Of course. Everything sounds easy until you actually start living it yourself. Things are much more difficult and harder than what you actually thought. Although despite all the bad nights, the crying and the fussiness I would not change it for the world!

  9. If you can go out, where is your favourite place to eat?

    At the moment, I love eating at Nando’s. It reminds me a lot of a type of Peruvian roasted chicken that I used to eat back home all the time. And they also have a quinoa salad that is to die for!! yummy…

  10. What is the best thing you’ve ever bought?

    The best thing I have ever bought and will last for a long time is my Channel bag. It is really lovely and I’m not sure if I can afford something like that again.

  11. Where is your favourite place to go as a family?

    There are various places that we love to go as a family such as London Zoo, Hyde Park and the parks nearby my home. We also love to go swimming.

Now I will need to nominate 4-11 bloggers (with fewer than 1,000 Twitter followers).

My Nominees

  • Read, create & love me too
  • Mummy Bisson
  • Sevenseasaway
  • Four for the road
  • What mummy did next
  • Honest Mumma

Finally, I need to write 11 new questions for my nominees, so here we are:

My Questions

  1. What do you find most challenging about blogging?
  2. What was one of the most unusual experiences you’ve encountered?
  3. Where’s your hometown and what’s the best thing about it?
  4. What are three things you cannot live without?
  5. What is your most prized possession?
  6. Describe yourself in three words.
  7. What is your favorite memory as a child?
  8. What is your greatest fear?
  9. Where would be your ideal holiday destination?
  10. What’s your favorite TV show?
  11. Do you speak another language?

Please tag me on twitter @WithFranca if you do decide to accept this award as I would love to read and share your post!

Love 💋

Franca

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
