Ludwig http://www.parentingbytrialanderror.com/?p=2819 Tonight was my daughters’ Middle School Spring Concert. All the hours of hard work, practice and driving everyone crazy at times this year paid off for Andrea. Out of all the 6th-8th graders, my 6th grader was awarded the single “Most Improved” certificate for the band at the end of the night. I’m so proud of her diligence and ambition. She definitely deserves it. I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as she does.

Way to go, Andie!

Ludwig http://parentingbytrialanderror.com/?p=1571 ripetomatoaward1-292x300I’m so excited! My new-ish friend, fellow blogathon-er, writers’ group member and writing colleague decided that my blog is worthy of his Ripe Tomato Award for Blogging Excellence. I was presented with this award two days ago, along with 15 other bloggers in Blog Salad’s high esteem.

Ron S. Doyle, author of Blog Salad, is fast becoming the most beloved new kid in our writers’ group, certainly with the bloggers among us. He can be counted on for technical advice, hilarious anecdotes, sympathy and encouragement. But the weird part (for me anyway)? He looks a lot like a young version of my late grandfather. (Check it out for yourself.)

In Ron’s “Pay It Forward” fashion, I will be creating my own blog award in the near future to give out to the 15 blogs I find most compelling. Of course my award graphic won’t be nearly as cute, but I’ll do my best.

Thank you, Blog Salad, for my very first award!
