Lynn at Wood Ridge Homestead gave me this award yesterday, so first, Thank you Lynn for giving me this award, and I have to say that I followed the links she put up on her other five and found some new homesteading blogs that I had not seen before, well worth checking them out, I even sighed up for a few of them to be delivered by mail.

Had a bit of a struggle to figure out my five to highlight, some of my favorites have over 200 followers and still my list was to long, so for my regular readers, know that it was not easy to pick this down to five! So here goes..

1. Backyard Farm– Callie posts about homesteading/frugal-City style
2. Canadian Doomer CD- Peek Oil, Doomer, Frugal, Apartment Homesteading
3. Chicky-bit Run -Andrea’s journey of her family adventures in homesteading
4. Rural Dreams-JJ-A new farm in Sask and her journey to make it their own
5. Stone House Road-Daisy-Life in general, gardening, canning

I am the first to admit that I am missing out on some of the blogs I read daily but I went with my hubbies comment on, do you feel you know them or do you just read because enjoy their posts/information, as this award means “favorite or dearest” he felts that it should be blogs that not only do I enjoy reading but that I interact with back and forth between each other with comments.. So girls, here is me lifting a glass to you!  

The origins of the award are somewhat unclear but the general consensus is that it originated in Germany, Liebster meaning favorite or dearest, to showcase bloggers with fewer than 200 followers. Upon accepting the award the recipient must then pass it on to five more blogs of note.

Here are the rules:

1- Choose FIVE up and coming blogs to award the Liebster to. Blogs must have less than 200 followers.
2- Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3- Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you gave the award to with links to their sites.
