I opened my email this afternoon to discover a shocking and exciting announcement:
Callapidder Days is a finalist in Scholastic Parent & Child‘s 2009 Mommy Blogger Awards! Woo-hoo!
I am thrilled and flattered and excited and, quite honestly, a little intimidated. My fellow finalists are incredible bloggers and I am honored to be included with them.
I didn’t even know my blog was nominated — and that, in and of itself, is an honor. But knowing that the editors of Parent & Child chose Callapidder Days as one of the ten finalists is simply mind-blowing. I’ve been smiling all afternoon. (And my husband is probably already tired of me babbling about it!)
Anyway, you can learn more about the contest at Scholastic’s site. You can also read about the other finalists, and vote for your favorite. (Naturally, you should vote for the one you like best, but I won’t mind at all if that’s me!) The top five will be announced in April and will be featured in Scholastic Parent & Child magazine this summer. And honestly — wouldn’t it be great to see that cute callapidder on the pages of a magazine? [Okay, shameless hinting and begging are now over.]
Thank you so much to the person who nominated Callapidder Days for this award, and to the editors at Scholastic who made Callapidder Days a finalist!
Now, go vote!
Congrats! That is soo awesome! You can count on my vote!
