Imagine my surprise when I got the e-mail yesterday.
My blog has been nominated for an award – the 1st Annual SPD Blogger Awards. From Hartley’s Life With 3 Boys.
It’s no joke to say it’s an honor just to be nominated. It’s very true. I started writing this blog because of Hartley and the other amazing writers in her SPD blogger network. I found her site through a link on another online essay about sensory processing disorder. At the time – a year ago – I didn’t know that anyone else had kids like mine. I felt alone and overwhelmed.
There, on her site, was a long list of blogs. Writing about the exact things we were going through as a family. And suddenly, I wasn’t so alone.
I’m nominated along with some of the most honest, most heartwarming blogs I’ve ever read. To whomever sent in my name, I thank you.
Please come vote for me (twice a day!) from now until midnight on January 22nd. I’m in the inspirational category along with Brotherly Love, Comfort in the Midst of Chaos, and The Gift Blog.
Once you vote, check out some of the other blogs listed. They are my favorite writers and they are all awesome, inspirational, funny, resourceful and new.
Thank you for voting and for being such supportive and understanding friends.
Sincerely,
Alysia

Awwww! LOL! I’m voting for you. I just thought of something: I wonder what Hartley would make us do if there’s a tie. =/

LOL @ ‘blog-off’. I was thinking the EXACT same thing! =D
We’d need Jeff Probst: “The SPD Blogger tribe has spoken…”
