Doing the happy dance I just received my first blog award since I'm a novice I really didn't expect it. I guess people on the blog sphere are starting to like me :) The award was given by Lorelai at Life with Lorelai

Lorelai's Questions and my answers :

1. Why and how long ago did you start blogging? I love to cook, my family and I love to communicate with people so I created Mommy's Kitchen.
2. What is your favorite craft or home decor store? Michael's in New York.

I loved answering all the questions and enjoyed it. This is a way to think about your blog and why you are writing. It sort of gives an in depth view of your blog.  Congratulations to each and every one of you on your Liebster award. Have fun with answering the questions !
