O<\/span>kay, 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<\/a> are completely unrelated. And yet, they’re the best segue I’ve got. Save me from the noise (oh my sweet lord, the noise!) and the dust and the chaos, send me a vote as a salve on my twitchy soul. (Too much? Yeah, I was afraid of that.)<\/p>\n

Ahem, anyway, they’re using a new voting system this year, and while it looks a little bit intimidating, it’s not too bad. If you would like to vote for me (please please please?) these instructions will help you navigate through.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click on this link to the Best Family Blog poll<\/a> and it will open the voting page in a new window.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. \nScroll down until you find Postcards for the Mothership.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. \nClick on the little drop-down triangle immediately to the right of the blog title.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Select “1st”. Cuz you love me, right?<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Optional: <\/strong> 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.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Scroll down to the bottom of the poll and click “vote”.<\/li>\n

    \t<\/p>\n

  7. \n

    Press “confirm”.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. Bask in the sunshine of my everlasting gratitude!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is round one, and there will be a round two for the top ten vote-getters next week. Throw me a vote and send me through to the finals?<\/p>\n

    And stay tuned, because I have an awesome holiday giveaway that starts later today or tomorrow — don’t miss it!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
