I just found out that I have been nominated for Best Diarist Blog! Pardon me while I pick up my teeth from the floor, ya’all! Woweee! This is so cool! You can read about my nomination here.
The Blog site Freaky Frugalite has been nominated by Fida Abbott in the category – Best Diarist Blog. Fida told us that she felt that this was a great blog to nominate as it has everything about the owner’s interests and thoughts.
The BlogNet Awards Team was amused to see a good photo of one of the first spring weeds breaking ground. This blog review found it primarily to be a mom’s view of what is most mom’s lives. In a radical break from tradition, the blogger, Mrs. Mecomber, who has several blogs, and offers links to all of them, has the comments, archives, pages, pals, buttons and links on the left of the blog. She shares her thoughts with us on gardening, children, spam and sandal season…all pertinent to the twenty-first century mom. We think you’ll understand where she’s coming from.
I’m a twenty-first century mom!!! Do you have any idea what a great accomplishment this was?! Getting through the twentieth century was no easy feat!
And my beloved pal Fida nominated me! Fida is a very dear friend. I haven’t ever met anyone as kind and compassionate as she– she is a true marvel and a terrific writer. Thanks, Fida, for honoring me so much with this nomination. And thanks, BlogNet Awards, for liking my blog!


I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
