There is a ton of interest in the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair, and for good reason. This versatile, attractive and well-made high chair is one of the best baby products on the market. Many parents have questions about the ins and outs of the Stokke Tripp Trapp, and in this post I’ll go over…
In an ideal world, all of our children would love to go to school, love to learn, love to work on their reading comprehension and writing skills, and be effortlessly talented with numbers. As a parent, it’s natural to wonder how to get your child interested in school. In reality, kids sometimes dislike studying. And there…
If you have a young kid, you know the appeal of superheroes. In this gift guide I’ll go over the best Spiderman toys for the superhero fan in your life. Spiderman ranks as one of the all-time classics. Kids today are just as into Spiderman as they were decades ago, so it’s no surprise that…
This weekend it struck me: My daughter, who is just a year old, will never know a world where there hasn’t been a woman in the White House. And until the age of 41, I’ve never known a world where there has. My kids will never live in a country where there hasn’t been a…
I am SUPER EXCITED right now! The finalists for the 2015 Bloggies were just announced, and A Mothership Down is a finalist in the Best New Blog of the Year category!!!!
If you recall, this is “The Oscars of the Internet” (my words). I’ve had my eyes on this competition all year, and my goal was to make it as a finalist in this category. I guess you could say all of my dreams have just come true. Except for the dream where I get to meet Fred Savage and Alyssa Milano as an extra on a coming of age tv show featuring child actors who never needed braces. Anyway.
I am going to shamelessly beg you now to PLEASE vote for A Mothership Down! PLEASE! (Brian suggested I add this second “Please” to really drive home my desperation).
So, stop what you’re doing right now. CLICK ON THIS LINK and vote! I mean, yeah, “it’s an honor just to be nominated” and all that, but why not go for a win?!
The Best New Weblog category is 3rd from the bottom. You need to scroll way down on the page. It takes only a minute to vote. (Other great blogs in the finals are my friend Elizabeth’s Bowl of Delicious, in the “Best Food Blog” category, and Jill Smokler’s Scary Mommy in the “Parenting” & “Best Group or Community” categories).
Thank you to everyone who has supported the blog in its first year! It’s surprisingly hard getting a new blog off the ground, but we are doing it! And doing it in style, if you are judging by Nolan in his tuxedo suit. Which you should be because damn that boy looks good.
Ok, let’s get out the vote! No time to become a politician like the present, that’s what I like to say.
Done and done! Love your blog!
Congrats on the nomination!
Thanks Hannah! I’m really excited! To be honest I don’t think Nolan cares much, but I’ll pop some bubbly without him tonight 🙂
So cool. Just voted! Congratulations! It’s no surprise given how your blog resonates with modern mommyhood! I can’t tell you how many mommy friends I have forwarded it to. Keep writing!
