Liebster Award Nomination
The Liebster Award is an award that is given out to new bloggers in the blogging community! I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Cook With a Shoe – thanks Charissa!
How did you decide on the name of your blog? My whole life changed for the better once I incorporated a budget into my life. I really believe having a budget has improved my life for the better. Hence, Believe in a Budget was formed!
Where does your blogging inspiration come from? I was really motivated to start my blog after having read other personal finance blogs. I really connected to what others were writing!
What is it that you love most about blogging? I love being able to write freely and connect with other bloggers. I enjoy when readers leave comments.
What is your favorite food? Oh gosh, what don’t I love?! It’s cliche, but I love a good pizza. And birthday cake from Publix ( a grocery store in the South)
What is your favorite thing to drink (alcoholic or not)? My favorite alcoholic drink would be a glass of bubbly or a craft beer. I’m obsessed with sparkling water too. In an effort to save money, I received a Soda Stream 
What is an item you cannot live without? I definitely can’t live without my cell phone. It’s my main method for keeping in touch with family and friends, whether it be talking, texting, facetime or social media.
What are eleven random facts about yourself?
- I worked at Disney World when I was in college
- I also waitressed and worked at a pre-school in college
- I was in the audience of a Wheel of Fortune episode
- I love the Royal Family
- I wanted to be on the Mickey Mouse Club when I was little but was too shy
- My 1st home purchase was at the age of 23
- I’m a huge college football fan
- After obsessing over the movie Under the Tuscan Sun, I went to Italy for 2 weeks
- When I was in high school, I did a lot of babysitting and saved $10,000 before I was 17
- Haunted houses scare the crap out of me
- My dogs dress up for Halloween every year
If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Closer to family – it’s hard being on my own.
If you could meet anyone from history, alive or dead, who would it be? My Gramma – I miss her.
What is your favorite outdoor activity? I love going to the beach or lake with my dogs. I love water and find it very peaceful.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Putting down roots! I’m working hard to make this happen. Family life sounds pretty perfect.
I will now nominate the following blogs for the Liebster Award and I hope you will participate!

Back when I was unhappy at my day job, I pretty much made sure to wake up early every single work day. While I was tired, I knew that waking up early allowed me to have just a little bit more time so that I could work on reaching my goals.
Good job!
You are welcome Kristin! It was fun to read your answers, but now I am a tad jealous, haha. I want to spend two weeks in Tuscany!!
While I’m honored to be nominated…. I just recently was! So please check out my post at

Thank you, Kristen! I’ve been enjoying your blog so much. We seem to be like minded with budgets, debt free and more! 🙂 Glad to be following you. Blessings!
Awesome Kelly! Thank you for reading my blog 🙂
I’m enjoying it! I’m passionate about budgeting. 🙂 So I live your blog’s name for sure. Also, I’m very excited to learn more about how to monetize my blog. I enjoyed your reports from the last few months. I will be checking back for more info and on those affiliates that I’m trying to figure out!!!
Thanks so much for the nomination! I thought of so many things to comment on while reading this that we have in common. Pizza is also one of my favorite foods (we actually just had a homemade pizza for dinner tonight). I love the Royal Family too, and considered doing a post on the dollars and cents of the new royal baby, or something similar (maybe I still will). Haunted houses scare me to do death too, as do some scary movies. And I also really get into college football; I’m not sure how I’ll cope here once the college football season starts!
Thanks Jennifer! Yes – a Royal Family post!! I am obsessed!
Thanks for the nomination!!!!!! 🙂
That’s so impressive that you were able to save so much money in high school!
Pizza is my favorite as well!
Thanks Kara!
mmm I love the bubbly and craft beer as well, and I LOVED Under the Tuscan Sun. I always fantasize about doing what she did, but I’m sure that’s just the Hollywood story talking to me and not being very realistic. 🙂
Oh I thought it would be magical to move to Tuscany and restore an old home….until I thought about the actual price haha
