Wow-I am super excited! I had something really cool happen this week. I was nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award. This is where peer bloggers nominate 11 new bloggers for positivity and creativity. Then they give these bloggers 11 questions to answer. So fun! The quirky thing, I was nominated not once, not twice but 3 times! That was crazy but so awesome, people must love tea (who wouldn’t). Anyway here’s some things to find out about me, some new bloggers and of course tea.
