Yesterday, a very big thing happened in Blogville. You all put on clothes, left your houses and had real life interactions instead of making out with your laptops? Close, but no.
Babble announced their Top 100 Mom Blogs.
Short story, short— guess who made the list??!!
Pioneer Woman? Dooce? Finslippy?
Well, yes, every one of those people made the list. But while they are all swilling champagne and patting themselves on the back in the top ten, I’ll be hanging out with the cool kids, darkhorses and delinquents in the back of the bus.
Yep, yours truly sneaks in at #90 (check out my fancy Babble write-up here) and while that may not sound like something to put in the family newsletter, I assure you, I couldn’t be more honored. There are so many talented bloggers out there and I am truly floored to get some recognition from the big leagues.
Thank you Babble for this awesome holiday gift.

Speaking of holiday gifts…
A good friend of mine created a site called “Our Toy Drive” which makes it really easy for any person, club, company, blogger (ahem) to set up their own toy drive. All you have to do is send them your logo with 10-15 links to toys on Amazon, pick from one of three charities and they’ll set up the rest.
I set up a Mommy Shorts Toy Drive and all purchased toys will go directly to Toys for Tots. (Please note that none of the links featured are affiliate links and neither me nor my friend will be making any money off anything.)
If you would like to purchase a toy through the Mommy Shorts Toy Drive, THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC and you can do so here. If you’d like to set up your own toy drive THAT WOULD ALSO BE FANTASTIC and you can find all information here.
Lastly, a big thank you to my friend for doing something worthwhile and reminding me that the holidays are about more than buying increasingly expensive variations on Elmo for my daughter.
Congrats! You deserve it. Now keeping tonguing your laptop, you’re good at it.
Please tell me you got the reference to the laptop make-out sessions.
Congrats on making it to the top 100!!!
Next year, you’ll be in closer to the likes of the champagne-swilling bloggers, I just know it.
And good on you and your friend for doing the toy drive.
Congratulations! You are totally Blog-worthy and I must say – I went to some of the other sites mentioned and m’eh … not nearly enough to hold my interest for the limited time I actually have to sit and couch-surf. You, and a couple of select others, on the other hand are totally Blog-reading-worthy – and may I add almost Stalker-worthy if posts are late. 😉
Congrats to you! Couldn’t have happened to someone more deserving.
It was only a matter of time before they recognized your genius. Congratulations!
*sniff* I’m going to be one of those people who says “I was a fan of Mommy Shorts before it was cool to be a fan of Mommy Shorts!”
Congrats! You are funny and snarky and real, and that’s why I like reading your blog 🙂
Congrats on #90! You’ll be movin’ on up in no time, I’m sure. 🙂
Congratulations! That is awesome.
Congrats! You rock!
So very fabulous, my friend. And for the record, yours is the only blog in the top 100 that I read.
(Now doesn’t THAT want to make you make out with me?)
I know. Probably not. But still. Hooray for you and cheers to movin’ on up and unseating the top ten next year.
I’ll even bake you a cake to smash…
Ummmm could you be more famous? Pioneer something or other ain’t got nothing on you (moving so lightning doesn’t strike me)…

Congratulations.
You have a beautiful blog. You spend time on your posts. You have interesting content.
You offer a lot here..and not just for mommy bloggers.
I’m not surprised at all that you’re in the top 100. You are a fun, interactive blog to visit.
Congratulations, Ilana…and keep on smiling that big smile…it’s a big honor.
