the “Right” homeschooling blog awards
For anyone who likes the idea of a well-run award contest where the prize is just the acclaim of your peers….
Alasandra has opened up nominations for this year’s contest. Nominations are being accepted until Oct. 17 in three categories: Adult, Teen, and Group.
So, go check it out, and start checking out the nominated blogs….or make a nomination…
If nothing else, you might find a new blog that you enjoy reading.
Edited later: Just to make it clear, the first link is to a post about a blog award contest that was NOT well-run. To say it had problems is to only look at the surface, their problems are many and run deep. What they have done, IMO, is an insult to the person who started their contest.
Anyway, Alasandra’s contest has no prizes and last year’s winners, can’t compete. Anyone else is welcome.

Gosh, I used to get excited about those award things, but all of the politics about secular versus religious has eradicated my ability to even visit them. I am happy for you though!

Kim, I’m thinking you misunderstood the first link I set up. That’s to another award contest from last year that was just a way for the organizers to get pretty prizes. I was showing it in opposition to Alasandra’s awards.
I’m just supporting these awards to get the word out.

Hi,
You mentioned that you are sorry for me and my children? Why?

“It broke my heart to do it but this weekend my baby, Lamby, who’s now 18 months old, got her first real spanking….She was very sad and mad at me and I hated the sad look that she gave me.”
To use someone else’s words “There’s no recognized research that says that spanking is good for a child, and tons that say it isn’t.”
She was buying a Rod of Correction - WHY????

I like the links on Alasandra’s blog (and the blogs through her blogs)…they’re some I visit (e.g. Pharyngula, Possummomma).
