I just found out that I won a departmental award that comes with a $1000 prize. It's given in honor of a wonderful professor emerita -- I was lucky enough to work with her as a master's student and I learned so much from her. Award notifications were supposed to happen earlier this week and when I didn't hear anything, I assumed they'd chosen another applicant. Turns out they issued paper notifications in our campus mailboxes (how twentieth century) and only followed up by email today. Hurray!

Welcome
- Welcome to my blog, where I mostly natter on about my life with five kids. Occasionally (not very often, because teenagers keep a person humble) I dispense parenting advice. Occasionally I write about other things, like faith or food or my secret strategy for dealing with annoying kid behavior or whether I am fit to be a mother. Also: who is the mystery intruder? And: does stay-at-home mothering rot the brain? If you are worried about slow weight gain in a breastfed baby, this is my most-viewed post — hope it's helpful to you. Want to read more? I have some favorite posts linked here.
Congratulations! Well done.
Will there be any celebrations with the family?

Does this mean you get a new washer? Or perhaps I should say, please don't tell me you are going to spend your prize money on a new washer!
Congrats! I am very happy for you!

Congratulations my friend!! That's great news, isn't it? I wish I'd gotten an award during grad school (great CV fodder), but alas... no.
