I just found out that a few of you wonderful readers nominated EmbracingBeauty.com for the Parent’s Magazine Best Blog Award in the Best Mom Fashion category!

First, thank you {thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!} to those of you who nominated me. I’m thrilled beyond words! If I’m going to win, I’ll need your help! Please go to the Best Blog Award page and click on the little pink oval to vote for EmbracingBeauty! Voting closes on October 15, 2011, and the winning blogs will be announced shortly thereafter. This is a one time vote unlike the CheapSally contest.

By the way, I’m not doing this for any sort of monetary prize or tangible award. The winners will be noted in an upcoming issue of Parent’s Magazine, and I’m just hoping to reach more people to share the ways of frugal living with!

Thanks again to those of you who went out of your way to nominate me! I also want to say thank you to ALL of my amazing readers! Your motivation and inspiration is what keeps this site going. You are greatly appreciated!
