>Perfect Post Awards
>
For those of you who missed the Perfect Post Awards last month, here’s the deal. MommaK at Petroville and I wanted to give a little recognition to bloggers out there who’ve written something extra special during the month of March. With that in mind, we launched the Perfect Post Awards.
On the first day of each month, all participants will give out the award to their favorite post written by another blogger during the preceding month. The “winners” will receive a cool Perfect Post button for that month, which they can put on their sites if they wish. MommaK and I will link on each award day to everyone who’s giving out a Perfect Post award.
This is a chance to read some of the best posts written each month- and to spread a little warm fuzziness, too. If you’d like to present an award yourself next month, e-mail me or MommaK and we’ll send you the latest award button code a few days before April 1st, so that you can participate in next month’s awards!
And now without further adieu, my Perfect Post Award goes to….
Jennifer at Italian Trivia for her post, “Always a mother”
Jennifer is an American mom living in Italy. This post is about her experience taking her son to nursery school for the first time, a process known in Italy as “insertion.” Parents are expected to go to school with their young children for the first few days (or weeks!) to help them adjust to their new surroundings. Jennifer wrote about this experience so eloquently. I was totally moved. Her post reminded me that some elements of mothering are truly universal.

>First off- how’s that snot problem coming along? I do hope you’re better. Next- I could have used your humping pup on several of my daughter’s friends in middle school- it is certainly one of the least attractive developmental phases for a lot of them- and comic relief is welcome anytime you find it.Finally, you and Momma K are the cat’s pajamas for running this monthly feature. I’m finding wonderful new places to visit- loved going to Italy! Thanks.
