Hey, lookit that, I made the top ten!

Hey, thanks for your votes! I made the first cut on the Canadian Blog Awards to make the top 10 Best Family Blogs. Yay!!

So you know what comes next, right? Much pestering on my part for your continued voting support, especially now that I know you have to are permitted to vote every day. Hint, hint.

Let’s post those voting instructions one more time, shall we?

1. Click on this link to the Best Family Blog poll and it will open the voting page in a new window.
2. Scroll down until you find Postcards for the Mothership.
3. Click on the little drop-down triangle immediately to the right of the blog title.
4. Select “1st”. Cuz you love me, right?
5. Optional: there are lots of other great blogs in this list, so if you want to choose more than one, you can rank your choices and toss a vote to all your favourites. I’m not entirely sure I understand the ranking system, though. You don’t have to rank or choose more than one blog to vote, though.
6. Scroll down to the bottom of the poll and click “vote”.

7. Press “confirm”. Don’t forget this part!

8. Bask in the sunshine of my everlasting gratitude!

And, hey, guess what? If you found that to be an enjoying and enriching experience, great news — you can do it every day through December 19!

Thanks, as always, for your affection and support. (And indulgence!)

Okay, so the fact that I’m trapped in the basement (they’re installing the laminate over my head as I type) and the fact that I’ve been nominated for Best Family Blog in the Canadian Blog Awards are completely unrelated. And yet, they’re the best segue I’ve got. Save me from the noise (oh [...]...
2. Shameless, I am! A couple of quick items: first, aren’t you pleased that I haven’t been haranguing you every single day to vote for me in the Canadian Blog Awards?

4. Vote, eh? It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Canadian Blog Awards, and I even played along this year in the administration of the awards this year, judging eligibility in a few categories and participating in a loose sort of e-mail advisory board on the set-up and direction of the awards. (Disclosure: I [...]...
5. The one where I shamelessly beg for votes I’m torn. On one hand, it’s quite clear. In the Canadian National Identity Handbook, it clearly states that we are to be a self-effacing, unassuming, toe-twisting-in-the-carpet, “aw-shucks” brand of modest. On the other hand, I am a known attention-whore. I admit it. I am needy for a steady stream of external validation. I am a praise junkie. [...]...
