2 Peas In A Pod Blog: The Blogger Recognition Award

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog! We hope you are having a wonderful day! Today we are kicking it off with a tag. We rarely do tags over on our blog so it felt right to do one for a change. So a few weeks back we were kindly nominated for 'The Blogger Recognition Award' by the lovely Après Gal (Becca). Thank you so much, Becca, for nominating us we appreciate it so much. We actually met Becca at the blogosphere tea party back in February, she was so friendly. If you would like to check out Becca's blog post on her Blogger Appreciation Award then you can do so here

So with every tag are some rules....

Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog
Write a blog post to show your award
Give a brief history of how your blog started
Give 2 pieces of advice to new bloggers
Select 15 bloggers to nominate the award to
Let the bloggers know they have been nominated and provide them a link to the blog post you created

So going down the list we need to enlighten you lovely readers on how the blog was created. It's funny really as we both got asked this question a few times when we went to the blogosphere tea party event. It actually made us step back and think, how was it created? The story really is not that interesting as it started off with Jade reading blogs. Jade has always had a passion for writing so it felt right to begin a blog. It then came to a catchy blog name. That is when '2 Peas In A Pod Blog' was born. Jade created it but soon realised she would need a partner to make the blog name seem catchy and worthwhile. Jade invited Stephanie but that soon came to an end a few months down the line when Stephanie wasn't enjoying it anymore. That is when Lydia asked to join the blog. From then on we have enjoyed every moment of the blog and we do not regret anything. We really do enjoy writing the blog and the moment we don't is the moment we will take a break.

As there is 2 of us writing this blog post we will give a piece of advice each to new bloggers.

Jade's Advice To New Bloggers:

My advice is to simply have fun. I can not express that enough. The reason why we started this blog was to enjoy ourselves. Truthfully Lydia and I really enjoy ourselves and it has given us a new hobby. Don't get bummed down by followers and page views. It really isn't all about that, I mean anything is a bonus don't get me wrong but make sure the content you write and publish is because you enjoy writing it and it's not for the followers and the freebies. I personally think your readers will notice if your writing is full of happiness and joy, make that your unique selling point. More readers would rather read a blog post from the heart rather than the money. So make sure you enjoy your blog, keep working hard at it and all the hard work will pay off.

Lydia's Advice To New Bloggers:

My advice is to write what you want, and believe in yourself. Much as Jade said you have to enjoy writing a blog, and the only way to really do this is to write what you want, write about what you like, make sure that you love and enjoy your blog, as you don't want to be writing blog posts for page views etc as its not what you would want. Also write about what you would like to read, the blog posts that we write are ones that we would like to read if we were reading the blog. It isn't good writing blog posts that you don't like or enjoy.

The 15 Blogs Who We Nominate:

If you click on the blog names it will send you straight to their blogs, they are all amazing and we think all 15 of you deserve this award nomination.

Thank You for taking the time to read our blog post it means a lot thank you. We hope you have enjoyed this blog post tag and we hope to do more tags in the future. Thank You again, Becca, for nominating us we had so much fun doing this blog post. Also, don't forget to tune into our blog again this Thursday for another edition of The Interview Series. It's all exciting on our blog!

Please Share The Pea Pod Love,

Thank You,

Jade & Lydia Xx
