I’ve been nominated for a blogging award — my first nomination. I’m very humbled by this. Mainly, because I don’t know who did the nomination. It wasn’t me and I don’t think anyone from my family — which means, my Internet friends, that one of you did it! I *heart* you for this. I work very hard on this blog, not so much lately because of the new little life that I birthed just four short months ago, but I do try. I hope to inspire women to be the best mothers we can be.

That said, I’d love for you to vote for this blog today. There are two voting days left and last I saw I was behind, but I think I have enough readers and Twitter followers, and heck, just good friends to pull off a surprising win. My strategy has been to not bombard my friends and Internet peeps with daily requests, but to ask once at the beginning and once, now, at the end.

If you have the time today please take a minute to click the link below and vote for Balancing Motherhood.

Even if I don’t win, I’m so glad to be on the list of nominees. And, as always, thanks mostly for being a reader!
