The First Annual: Best Utah Mommy Blogger of the Year!

by damien on May 11, 2009

As we said yesterday, this poll is the Utah Bubble way of celebrating moms all week long, but we had our weekly Bubble Board Meeting today and we decided to hold off on the poll for a few days.  Why?  Because all too often we get comments like “Hey… I think Bloo Blah Blah should have been nominated!”

Well…

We are going to give you all a week to nominate the best Utah Mommy bloggers through comments where you can pitch why you think that blogger should win!  So this is your chance everyone… to be heard… to have your opinion broadcast to the world (or at least a few thousand people in Utah)!!!

Here are the bloggers who have been nominated so far:

  1. Garlic: Not Just a Powder
  2. Jet Set Carina
  3. Petit Elefant
  4. Dooce
  5. I Never Grew Up
  6. Singing Cicada
  7. Make and Takes
  8. Nie Nie Dialogues
  9. Seriously So Blessed
  10. Todays Mama
  11. I Never Grew Up
  12. Navel Gazing at its Finest

If we reach 32 bloggers we will do a special bracket style poll, and remember that you can nominate more than one blogger at a time so don’t hold back.  32 Is our limit, so once we reach that number no more nominations will be accepted and the blogger needs to be in Utah :)  We “may” let someone in who is from Utah and is now somewhere else, but you will need to let us know where they are from so we can make a decision.

So nominate someone already ;)

Did you get my two in the email I sent? Overstuffed and Creative Cathsarsis?

2 Wendy May 11, 2009 at 10:52 pm

REALLY? I was nominated? I swear didn’t even nominate myself! How. Cool.

And also, not be all persnickety, but isn’t Today’s Mama a website, not a blog? Or is there also a bog called Today’s Mama? Please post web addresses so we can be informed voters. :)

A fan emailed in: http://babymakinmachine.com. Sounds like a great Bubble Blog!

Where’s my honorary Utah-ian non? Mommy Confessions!

5 Ashley May 12, 2009 at 4:53 pm

I like looking at all these cute blogs. Clearly I have too much time on my hands.

6 Kristy May 12, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Just to clarify…does a utah mommy have to be in Utah, because unfortunately babymakinmachine isn’t in Utah…although the title would suggest otherwise :)

Overstuffed is at lalakme.blogspot.com
Creative Catharsis is at raeswheels.blogspot.com

We are allowing one blogger from outside the Bubble, but that is because we have a special relationship with her on twitter. Once we have all the names collected we are going to review the sites and determine which ones we want to keep.

If by some chance we come across bloggers who are just too awesome to miss out on and if they are from Utah we may make an exception… so we’ll see. We’re pretty chill about it all… we’d rather you fans make such decisions.

So no worries!

I’m nominated? Awesome! Thanks everyone! It kind of stinks that I’m up against some of my good friends (I WILL BURY YOU ALL) but I guess that’s just how it is.

9 Azucar May 14, 2009 at 2:08 pm

I love Allison even more than the next girl, but Petit Elefant (#3 & 12) can’t be on the list twice, can she?

I mean, it’s your blog competition, you make the rules.

Allison, this means war. You are uninvited from my house.

10 Allison/Petit Elefant/& What they took me off #12 too? May 14, 2009 at 7:24 pm

Carina,

It’s WAR! And plhhhph! I didn’t want to come play rock band and enjoy your hilarious company, and eat your delicious chocolate filled delectable strawberries anyway, so there.

/Iwillwinitdoesn’tmatterwhatyoudoit’sWAR

11 Allison May 14, 2009 at 7:37 pm

This thing is rigged. Ms. Singing Cicada is on here twice!

12 Jyl (Mom It Forward) May 14, 2009 at 7:41 pm

Wow! Every single person I nominated except one made it on the list. I feel like a winner myself :) .

13 Emily May 14, 2009 at 7:54 pm

Yay! Everyone I nominated is on the list! You go, girls! It’s going to be a close race. I’m looking forward to the photo finish! I’ll be there, Flip camera in hand. ;)

14 Marie {Make and Takes} May 14, 2009 at 7:59 pm

Now let’s all play nice in blogland, Mommies! You all know that I will win this anyway, so no need to start a war!

And Jyl, why aren’t you on there? You need to be! I nominate Mom it Forward! http://www.momitforward.com

Also, where’s the Cjane lady on here? I’ll give her my nomination, as she is the reigning blog-queen in Happy Valley! http://blog.cjanerun.com/

15 KJ May 14, 2009 at 8:07 pm

if I knew how to do the baby elephant walk, I would, in honor of petit elefant. Because petit elefant is cool and I’m not biased at all. And hey, if azucar has issues, well, you can come over to my house and play guitar hero. And our boys could have a mattress surfing contest, and bottomless-belly eating contest. Mine’s a contender, I tell ya!

16 Kelly King Anderson May 14, 2009 at 8:10 pm

Hurray! Great blogs, great people! Congrats to all!! What a fun contest ;) Have a great time and I’ll be watching to see who wins…I have a crown waiting!

17 Vanessa May 14, 2009 at 8:12 pm

Oh no you ladies are going to start some trroouuubbllle!!! ;) But it will be oh so fun!

18 Sam May 14, 2009 at 8:35 pm

Yeah, hello? Where is cjane? Only the most famous mommy blogger there is!!!

19 Utah Bubble May 14, 2009 at 10:08 pm

Sorry about the duplicate :) Remember that this is “your” chance to nominate you favorites before the poll on Monday so CJane is now nominated and so will any others you list :)

20 Jane May 15, 2009 at 8:55 am

I’m just going to stay out of this an hope I don’t make any enemies by making alliances…but good luck to my faves…you know who you are. oh wait! I mean, I don’t have any favorites. maintain the peace, jane! ;)

21 Lauren @ SuperMom Central May 15, 2009 at 4:35 pm

Quite a list! Wish Emily from “Little Window Shoppe” had hung around just a little bit longer – she’s the reason I got into blogging! The other night I hung with April from Sweet Life In The Valley and that girl RAWKS so lets throw her some nomi love:

Good luck Girls!

22 Lauren @ SuperMom Central May 15, 2009 at 4:40 pm

PS – I’ve also got to throw in a vote for Seagull Fountain (until recently known as “What About Mom”) cuz that girl has made me spew Coke out my nose at 2 am. As in, FUNNY. Plus, she’s great at getting good convo started on her blog, and so down to earth.

Ok, I’m done now.

26 April May 18, 2009 at 12:48 pm

Ali-sun and Petit Elefant is the BEST, hands down…there is no debate here………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

27 Jyl (Mom It Forward) May 18, 2009 at 6:34 pm

Ah! Thx for the nomination, Marie! Again, feeling like a winner. Maybe Kelly will give me a crown even if I don’t make it on the list ;) !!! You gals are all fantastic and everyone should win (that is the non-competitive side of me coming out…:))!

28 mrs. r May 20, 2009 at 1:54 pm

29 Rachel Boatright DeVault May 22, 2009 at 1:20 pm
