I would like to thank everyone who chose to participate in the Homeschool Blog Awards this year and the committed volunteers who put it together.
It still amazes me sometimes that people log on here everyday to read and comment and I really am honored that 78.52 people chose to vote for my endeavors here at Principled Discovery. And most of you aren’t even related to me.
I would also like to thank my mother who gets way more into these kinds of things than I do. She encouraged me to just have fun with it and I did. So a well-deserved hat tip to my campaign manager mom (who actually called me to let me know where I stood at one point!).
And to my spokesperson L. E. Fant whose pictures would have swayed a few voters if they hadn’t already voted.
Now we can sit back and put our feet up.
Congratulations to all the nominees this year. And to this year’s winners:

(Cute little feet!)
Dana, I’m coming up for air long enough to say “congratulations” and there was never a doubt in mind who would win in this category! You’re awesome!
Okay, back to filling orders for Dallas Cowboys merchandise!
Congratulations Dana - So glad you won in current events political blog category! You really deserved it!
Kudos and keep up the good work!
good for you! I was just happy to be nominated (funniest)’ cause lately…I have NOT been funny, more sad and sappy.
your blog certainly keeps me informed, so you deserve this win.
Thank you every one! And I was honored to be next to so many great blogs…I couldn’t believe I actually won against the likes of Consent of the Governed, but I guess those baby pictures worked. : )
Baby pictures always work, but puppies will do in a pinch!
