				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week has been all about Valentine!  For the first time in my blogging life, I had set myself a small trial for an editorial calendar.  The theme, you guessed it, Valentine.  A lemony valentine to be precise.  I was all set and kind of curious.  &#8220;Was I able to meet all my goals and deadlines?&#8221;  And then came a post that took all my anxiety: <a href="http://www.workingonworkingmom.com/what-is-the-liebster-award/" class="broken_link">Angela from Working on Working Mom</a> nominated me for the Liebster Award.</p>
<p><img class=" aligncenter" src="http://www.workingonworkingmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Liebster-Award-Button-Image.jpg" alt="Liebster Award   The best surprise in the world!!" indexer="1" title="Liebster Award   The best surprise in the world!!" /></p>
<div class="”Liebster"></div>
<p>This award was just the motivation boost that I needed.  AND it allows me to boost the motivation of a few other new blogger colleagues.  This award was created for bloggers from bloggers.  Blogs don&#8217;t get the million readers they are aiming for from day one.  It takes time and effort, I don&#8217;t have to tell you that!  The Liebster Award helps new bloggers to grow there readership.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>What are the Liebster Award Rules?</strong></h2>
<p>By accepting this award I am committing to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Answer 11 questions from my nominator</li>
<li>Pick 11 nominees of my own</li>
<li>Create 11 questions for my nominees</li>
<li>Inform my nominees that they have been nominated</li>
</ul>
<p>Here goes&#8230;</p>
<h2><strong>My Answers to Angela&#8217;s questions</strong></h2>
<p>What does your blog name mean to you?</p>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>Since my daughter was born, 9 years ago already, it has become very important to me to create a real home.  A place where our little family is save, can relax, find their roots and come down to earth in times of stress.  A place where life is <strong>comfy</strong>, where <strong>cosiness</strong> lifts all the clouds and where our family is <strong>living</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>What is your most comforting comfort food?
<ul>
<li>In times of stress or worries or just on a bad day, I mostly wish for, what I call, &#8220;mummy-food&#8221;.  Things my mother made when I was a child.  Not at all very easy as mummy dearest is about 700km away.  And whatever I try, I can make these recipes myself but they keep on lacking the mothers touch.</li>
<li>On the other I can find much comfort in a good peace of chocolate.  I&#8217;m still Belgian at heart, what would expect?!?!?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>What is the worst part of your day?
<ul>
<li>The two minutes before my alarm clock goes off and the 3 minutes after it.  If I survive those, I have lift off.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>What positive thought do you use when you are feeling down?
<ul>
<li>When I am really really down, I just have to cuddle my daughter or see her laugh and my world is right as rain again.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>What is your favourite food made with chocolate?
<ul>
<li>Chocolate sauce &#8211; Goes with everything <img src="http://comfycosyliving.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Liebster Award   The best surprise in the world!!" class="wp-smiley" title="Liebster Award   The best surprise in the world!!" /></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Who is your favourite blogger and why?
<ul>
<li>My favourite blogger colleague is Tina from <a href="http://tinastausendschoen.blogspot.de/">Tina&#8217;s Tausendschön</a>.  Her German blog has mouth-watering recipes, breath taking pictures and a very relaxed writing style.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When was your happiest moment?
<ul>
<li>In life??  Saying yes to my husband and slipping the wedding ring on his finger, whilst I was holding our new born daughter in my arms.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Where have you gone that felt the most like paradise?
<ul>
<li>The first apartment that I rented and furnished with my first salary</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Why do you blog?
<ul>
<li>To improve my writing, in the hope to inspire others and with the never diminishing wish to be inspired by my readers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>How much time do you spend doing the things you love?
<ul>
<li>When I&#8217;d say 24 hours, it would sound a bit cliché, right?  But 20 hours is not far off!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>What is one thing you want more than anything?
<ul>
<li>To keep husband and daughter save and sound at all times.  Although winning the lottery wouldn&#8217;t come amiss <img src="http://comfycosyliving.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Liebster Award   The best surprise in the world!!" class="wp-smiley" title="Liebster Award   The best surprise in the world!!" />  (If only I would play!!)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
