Homeschool Blog Awards 2009

>> Tuesday, November 10, 2009

I was very excited this morning to see that I -- along with loads of my favorite bloggers -- have been nomiated for the Homeschool Blog Awards this year!  How exciting!!!



Thank you so much to those who nominated me!!  It is so excited to even be in the running, especially considering some of the top-quality bloggers who are represented in the awards this year.  I have been nominated in the following categories:
  • Best Eclectic Blog
  • Best Unschooling Blog (Should I confess that I did not vote for myself in this category?  I stuck with the blog that I nominated.  I'll give you a hint:  she is regularly featured in the Homeschool Showcase and does some killer art projects with her kiddos.)
  • Best Cyber-Buddy
  • Best Current Events, Opinions, Politics (This one made me chuckle -- it has to be for my opinions, which I freely give, not politics, which I try to avoid at all costs...well, here on my blog, at least.)
Additionally, The Homeschool Classroom, for whom I also write, was nominated for Best Family or Group BlogVoting ends at midnight, November 21.  I hope you'll take some time to go vote for your favorite blogs!  You can click the "I'm Nominated" graphic to go the main voting page, see all the categories, and read the voting guidelines.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure how you fit into a couple of the categories that you were nominated for. (So, hopefully you'll forgive me if I didn't vote for you in the categories that even you questioned and didn't vote for yourself. LOL) But, it must just be because people love you so much. ;)

I voted for you a couple of times!

Congratulations Kris! I was wondering about the unschooling nomination myself. Maybe people confuse unsocialized with unschooling. LOL

I agree. The last nomination sort of floored me. And unschooling was a shocker too. :-) Anyway, as Angie said, folks just love you!

PS.. voted for you 2xs.
