Tonight We're Gonna Party Like it's 1999.

Roll out the red carpet........


Freshen up your lipstick......


Because.......


It's the McMommy Bloggy Awards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Everyone grab a glass of bubbly and get to your seats!




Okkkkkkkkk.........here we go!





The ever amazing Kristen of Loving Our Simple Life gave me this lovely and fragrant award. And today, I would like to give this to award to The Snow Shoveler of Shovelin' Snow. Not only does The Snow Shoveler always stop by to comment and her blog always brightens my day, but she lives in Texas! And being that I am married to a Texan, I feel a special kinship with her! (Plus, she wrote a post about Taco Cabana. So now I REALLY REALLY love her!)





Jen of Cheaper than Therapy bestowed upon me this next award. Jen, if you love me that much, then extend that little girl's hands by 10 feet....because that's how much I love YOU!! I truly admire the way you blog.....it's not just a "mom blog". Jen always has something new, fresh, & fun...the topics are all over the board. And I love it!




So today, I would like to tell 3boys247 of the Testosterone Tales and Karen of Snakes, Snails, & Puppydog Tails that I really do love you this much. And not just because we are amazing baby namers...heh heh. (we all have Carters.) I love reading your blogs because I feel like I am getting a glimpse of what my future will be like raising boys. (Not THREE, mind you. I give you each a TON of credit for raising three boys and you are still alive and kickin'! It gives me hope!)



Ooohh...this next award brought tears to my eyes! Yes, the infamous Don Mills Diva....who's blog I almost feel I am not worthy of reading because she is so high up there in the order of mom blogs.....gave little ol' ME an award!!!!!!!




I would like to bestow the tiara to Rachel of American Mum.....who lives in London, lunches in Dublin, and has dinner in Paris. (or something like that!) I love to live vicariously through Rachel....and lucky for me, she is quite the talented photographer....so I really DO feel like I'm there with her!

I would also like to bestow the tiara award upon Bree of The Story of a Little Man Named Lincoln. Bree is a girl who's GOT.IT.TOGETHER and my day doesn't feel complete if I don't "talk" with her. Plus, I figured she might want a tiara to go along with her stripper shoes.






My BFF Kristen just recently passed this award onto me...is she the best and most generous or what?!


Would Lisa of Life With Our Little Ladies and Beth of Little Princess Chronicles please come up to the stage? I would love nothing more than to pass this to you both! I love reading your blogs because I get to see what raising a daughter would be like. And to see the sisterly bond between your girls....oh, it reminds me so much of McSister and I growing up!






Ooohh!!! This next award makes me feel like doing a tequila shot and dancing the salsa! It's the Arte y Pico award!I felt so CULTURED and of course, honored, when Jen of the Daily Mish Mash AND Heather of A Big Boy, A Baby Girl, And a Precious Pug awarded it to me! Apparently, this award has some qualifications: Choose 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community

So would Mommy Learns to Blog, Mamasphere, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, Cheaper Than Therapy and Bubba Bubbles all cha-cha their way up to the stage? Arrrrriba! Arrrrribbbaaaa!! Your blogs have all contributed to my SEVERE blog addiction! And I truly thank you for it!






And for our final award this evening.......

Yes, the McMommy Be Frie award.

This is an award that I hold close to my heart....and around my neck. We are BFF's....Bloggy Friends Forever.....and we have this fake jewelry to prove it.

Heather of A Big Boy, A Baby Girl, And a Precious Pug: Wow. You know you have a true BFF when she promises to blog your funeral. It brought a tear to my eye, Heather! (Can you make sure to blog how fabu I look in my red POW superhero suit? ) You are a wonderful mom to Kyler and Ella and a wonderful friend to me! Thank you for ALWAYS commenting on my crazy posts. That means the world to me!




Mommy Pie: I have to declare my love for you to the world! I get all sorts of giddy and excited when I see you have a new post up. You make me LAUGH OUT LOUD...not just a little "ha ha" in my head....no, a true "spit my drink all over the computer screen it was that funny" kind of laugh. I would like to submit to the jury Exhibit A :this and Exhibit B: this.
(And if you all want to see how I *think* I look when I look in the mirror, check this out. I'm the one in the middle, bottom row, looking WAY mcHAWT. HA!)



Jen of the Daily Mish Mash: I think I might adopt you as my second McSister! (why do my sisters love Tequila Boom Booms so much?) I love your organizational quests, your love of Ryan Gosling, and the fact that you admit that you don't love playing cars. (me either!) I love the mish....I love the mash. I love how you mix it all up and I never know what topic you are going to blog about next.



Book Mama of Hot Wheel Hacienda: I swear I did not bestow this fake jewelry upon you because I won your giveaway (Matty LOVES the book by the way!!!). The truth of the matter is that I LOVE YOUR BLOG! You have a killer combination of smarts & funny....and this phrase that you have under your header "Where every day is adventure, all the milk is chocolate, and there are miniature metal cars within a three foot radius of any spot you stand." DESCRIBES MY HOUSE EXACTLY!!! I swear you and I will make the best of friends!




Wear your fake jewelry with pride, ladies.
I will keep the St Nds half....because as I've said before....everyone knows the Be Frie is the better half!



Congrats to ALL the award winners!!!!!!
Go forth and spread the bloggy bling love!




I'm off to all the after-parties!

Love ya, post signature

AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
I'm shrieking like I just won the Showcase Showdown on the "Price is Right"!!

I am so excited! This has made my day/week/MONTH! Thanks so much, McMommy, for being so supportive of your bloggy buddies and finding creative ways to show us love! You even bring us together each week with your POW Fridays.

You? Are McAwesome.

Does this mean I can celebrate by going on a chocolate/shiraz bender and watching Moulin Rouge over and over? Cuz that's what I want to do...

Sgt and Mrs Hub said...

Everything is so much more fun over at McMommy's!

I have to say - I'd much rather party like it's '08 because that means I can partake in some bubbly. In 1999, for me, that was prohibited and greatly frowned upon.

Party poopers. ;)

Yay for all the winners!!

-Andrea

McMommy. You.Just.Made.My.Day!!!!!
Seriously, DH is trying to go to sleep and I just tried to explain to him my excitement over receiving an award on your blog. I got a half-hearted Mazel Tov - he clearly doesn't get the blogosphere yet.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Seriously, I was a lurker on your (and many others I found through you) blog for what seemed liked forever, and I always thought to myself, I could never be as cool, or as clever, or as much fun as these people, but I took the plunge anyways. And not to say that I ever will be one of those things, but you really are the one who inspire me to Just Do It.

McMommy, you are truly mcbeautiful, both on the inside and out.

Thank you for always popping by, for answering all my questions, and for being my sythroid-poppin' buddy. I love my award (now I just need to figure out how to get it onto my blog), and girlfriend, I'm aiming high for the BFF award at your next ceremony!

CONGRATS to all the other winners of the McMommy Awards Ceremony! You are all more than deserving and I feel honored and privileged to be blogging among you!

The Snow Shoveler said...

YAY!!! You totally made my day!!! It is my first blog award EVER!!!

Congrats to all the award winners!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight!!!

Kristen said...

Congratulations to all of the blog winners!! Such a wonderful group of ladies!


And super congrats to the ever famous McMommy! You truly are a blog I love to pieces! :)

Laski said...

That is one heck of a lot of bloggy love! Clearly you have a lot of awesome fans!

All sorts of happiness going on!!!

Dana said...

Ok, You really can't do this to me. And no I don't mean excluding me from, the awards (I can handle that), but I mean making me want to read all these blogs. I really have way too many addictions already. Now you've just added about 10 more ;)

American Mum said...

I've reached a new level in the blogosphere when McMommy gives me an award! I've so excited! It totally makes up for the fact that I'm up at an obscenely early time with the baby. Thanks!

Oh, and Austria's coming up next week. :)

The Mom said...

McMommy if just being on your blogroll and being mentioned in giving you the I love you this Much award wasn't enough, receiving an award from you is just icing on top of icing!! I will bestow my new bling with honor and pride. You are a sweetheart! Congrats to all the other deserving winners...I read almost all of them and know how you feel! I will be sharing the love!

mommypie said...

WHA?!? I get a Be Frie?? I feel like the purtiest girl at the dance -- a Be Frie from McMommy!!

Thank you SO much -- I will display it proudly.

You da bomb. Diggity.

Stephanie said...

That was my high school class song...wow! That was a long time ago!

Congrats to all the lovely winners!

Shannon said...

Terrific awards, McMommy, love them all and can't wait to check out a few new blogs! Thanks for a fun read, as always!!!

Elizabeth said...

what fun that was...i could almost picture you giving this speech at the Academy awards...maybe someday there will be an Academy Award for best Blog! :-)

Mamasphere said...

Holy Moley, my first award! Thank you, McMommy!

I would like to thank my mother for giving birth to me, my husband (no, can't forget the husband, can you imagine the press?) for supporting my blogging obsession, my daughter for believing me when I tell her mommy is working on the computer, and, of course, all of my fellow bloggers who make this whole endeavor worthwhile!

I'll be walking around with my head in the clouds all day!

Chelle said...

There is never a dull moment at The McMommy Chronicles! Congratulations to all of you winners!

-Michelle

Heather said...

YAY! I soooo needed this today. I am so honored. And here I sit with my hair in a ponytail and no makeup on. I am sure there is spit up on my shirt and dirt on my pants, but I don't care! I am just too darn excited!
Thank you so much McMama! I LOVE it (and you) to pieces!

PS I totally promise to mention how HOT you look in your red pow suit:)

amanda said...

oh mcmommy, you really do know how to throw a party don't you??

congrats to all the very deserving winners :)

Elaine A. said...

Now I have a TON of blogs to go read. That is of course after I change out of my evening gown and recover from visiting all the after parties, etc, etc.

That was quite an awards "show!" : )

Congrats to all the winners!

Indy said...

I was thinking the same thing. I can't add any more blogs to my reading list. But, I am so tempted to at least stop by and see how fabulous they are.

Karen said...

Here I am last to the party and I have an AWARD!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
excited!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Of course I WILL Be blogging about it... stop by and hear all the great things I say about you!!!

3boys247 said...

Sniff, sniff. I really don't have anything prepared. (papers rustling) Well, just a few words of thanks.

First I would like to thank my husband for that Y chromosome. Yes, I know I often complain and hide in fear of being over-run by boys, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Secondly, I would like to thank my former employer, Cheap Tickets, for allowing me to win those two tickets to Mexico. And thanks to Jose (Cuervo, of course) for making such yummy margaritas, they really make me lose my inhibitions. If I hadn't lost those inhibitions I would be the mother of two boys and not the award winning THREE BOYS!

I would also like to thank Carter Weil for attending my high school and being so darn cute. Without you, I might have just skipped over Carter in the baby name book...Nah!

And finally I would like to thank McMommy for hosting these wonderful awards. You motivate me to post more interesting stories and funny memories. I am a much better blogger having known you.

Congratulations to Karen and all the other winners. What a fun time.

Thank... BUZZZ. What was that? Oh, I am out of time. Thank you.....thank you...

beth said...

Awww, you are so sweet. If only I had known, I would have bought a dress!

Can't wait to check out all these fabulous blogs.

Lisa said...

HOLY BUCKETS!!!

I won an award?

Me????

I'm so freaking Mchonored!!!

Thank you McMommy!!!

Pixie said...

Hey! I just read this! Thanks so much for honoring me at my humble little blog! I whole-heartedly accept my little award, and I can't wait to post it on my blog!

Thanks, McMommy!!!!

Jen @ Daily Mish Mash said...

Words can't describe how excited I am right now to be the recipient of such an amazing award!! It is even more awesome that it comes from you. You are one of my absolute favorite bloggers! Thank you so much for the award. I love it and will wear it proudly!!!
