It’s time once again for the Perfect Post Awards! This is a monthly event that MommaK and I came up with so that bloggers can award their favorite post of the month from another blogger.
This month, I had to give my Perfect Post Award to someone who’s become a great friend. Lisa of Niihaus generally makes me laugh ’til I cry, but this post brought real tears to my eyes and reminded me that she’s truly a great writer, even when she’s not being Miss Funny Thang.
Congratulations, Lisa! You deserve it!
Now. I hope you’ll take some time to check out some of the other awardees on the list. The list has gotten longer over the last few months, but since this is about inclusion, we decided not to limit the number of awarders.
Skip around and check out a few of these posts. You’re pretty much guaranteed to see some excellent writing.

>Thanks for the award! I was so excited when I opened my email this morning.I’d like to thank all the people that helped make this happen. *Ahem* The Foreigner, obviously, The Boy, The Girl, The Baby. My agent, The Aunt. Britney Spears, Sean Preston, and Kevin Federline. My Moms. The guy that invented the keyboard, and my doctor for all the estrogen. And, SuburbanTurmoil for the love.
>My first win! I’m still gleaming over that one. Thanks, Lisa. I freakin’ love you, man! *sniffle*
>Lindsay – I wanted to personally thank you for doing this. It seems to be so labor-intensive. And it gives great joy to many people.I’m sure I speak on behalf of us mommy bloggers when I sayThank you, thank you, and thank you.
>Well, I have not participated in these perfect post awards, but I have to say that i can not believe all the work that you put into it, as i said last month, Holyhotlinks Batman. You OBVIOUSLY are incredibly techno savvy and have a very generous spirit. I will get back to you as to what is more valueable. 🙂
>So many shiny posts to distract me from work today!
>Curses! Foiled again! Confound me, and my imperfect postings!;D
>I haven’t been paying enough attention. So, do we just email you with a post we like in a month, any time before the end of the month? That’s all?
>YES that’s such an amazing post. I love niihaus. It’s one of my new daily reads. Good taste, L!
>E-mail me if you want to be on the mailing list and I will send you instructions toward the end of the month. You choose a post that’s your favorite for the month and then post about it on the first of the month and MommaK and I link you. We’re doing this month’s today because the first is on a Saturday.
