DOTTIE AWARDS Voting!

And the Nominations are in! I have to find a better way than pouring through 100s of nominations by hand. We need little slips of papers with chads or something. Because it was pretty hard to check mark each nomination and go over and over again, if I saw your name, I most likely put you in the category....

IMPOSTER! (FNL news, Dottie Award news and more)

Ok, this is Trisha’s blog but she is gone and left me the keys… So I sit here pondering whether or not to cause trouble, since I have been told that I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy. Maybe I’ll save my disorderly behavior for tonight’s show. Friday Night Live for...

Pass it on.

Kim knew me before I was known as “MomDot”. She believed in my ideas before I was a blogger and was directly responsible for any amount of success this blog has ever seen. As special as I wanted to think I was and my aura reached out to draw Kim in, she really just helps EVERYONE. She supports...

GIFT GUIDE INFO FOR MOMDOT I have been going back and forth with how to run our gift guide this season. Which is precisely why there has been a delay in posting.

Nestle Family Blogger Drama

I wanted to say, on my own little spot of the world that no one else can regulate (and longer than 140 freaking characters), that I don’t find any of this Nestle crap attacking bloggers appropriate. The message has been lost by those that were trying to advocate a true issue. I would be furious...

I just wanted to let you know why no new posts today. I had to get up at 4am for travel. Ugg, I still feel miserable. Did you know that there are planes small enough that they ask passengers to move from the front of the plane to the back to “balance” it? Yeah, neither did I. I flew one...

I am now a published author

My husband just sent this to me: ‘Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she’ll give you...

Check out what happened to my new dryer

Seriously. This is the Bounce fabric bar. I love(d) this bar. The Bounce (tide) Dryer Bar sticks in a little container and suctions to the inside of your dryer. It acts the same as a dryer sheet and you can buy one that lasts from 2 to 4 months. I am very lazy about dryer sheets so this was a great...

The Radio Stint..whatcha think?

If you’re curious how the radio spot on NPR went, it wasn’t that bad. They cut out the stuff I was concerned with. I dare say that it sounded slightly positive. *insert Hallelujah here* Is this a turn for mom bloggers in the mainstream? (its only 2.5 minutes long if you want to listen and...
