A Post of Good Things





 MetroParent Milwaukee has been nationally recognized and awarded two silver media awards at the Parenting Media Association's annual awards ceremony in Baltimore this weekend.

They were given a silver for General Excellence and a silver for Best Blog/Best Blogger. Philadelphia's online parenting magazine placed gold, and Chicago placed bronze. My weekly MetroParent Milwaukee column, Mom Logic, was recognized as a silver, in between those two big dogs.

Thank you to Liz Paulsen, my editor at MetroParent for the opportunities she has always passed on to me. I thank her for her encouragement and faith in what I do, and the space to do it in. Thank you to the readers, that click on to Mom Logic every week. I appreciate you.

In my mind, I see this right now:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

because I remember the morning I logged on to MetroParent Milwaukee, and knew that I wanted to write for them and to serve the parents of our community. MetroParent gave me that chance, and my column there allows me to write in an arena that gives me purpose. Guiding, sharing, and building a community with parents that is based on honesty and experience is a satisfying relationship for me, and the readers that click on MetroParent as Milwaukee's #1 resource for parenting.

I'm proud, and grateful, to represent MetroParent.

Thank you for saying yes, Liz.

And Philly and Chitown, proud to be alongside you! You make me look good!
