Something pretty cool just happened and I’m so excited to share it with you! A few days ago, I learned the readers of About.com (one of the top 100 websites in the world with over 36 million visitors monthly) nominated the Happy Wives Club for the Best
Marriage Blog/Website on the web…again! This is the same Reader’s Choice award we won last year because fabulous readers like you took the time to vote.
What’s ironic about this year is many of you learned we’d been nominated even before I found out! With so many active and wonderful readers of HWC I should have known. But I didn’t. I saw a message on the About.com Twitter feed telling people to go to their site and vote for the best marriage websites on the web.
The message indicated they’d announced the top 5 finalist and were encouraging everyone to narrow that five down to one. Since we’d not been notified, I assumed we didn’t make the cut this year and another marriage site must have swooped in and knocked us out of the running.
When I went to About.com to cast my vote, I realized not only had we been nominated but had been named a Top 5 Finalist! Somehow the notification letting us know we were a finalist ended up in my spam email folder (darn that Norton anti-virus). Of course, as soon as I saw we’d made the top five, I cast my vote. Imagine my surprise when after casting my vote, I learned we were in the lead with 60-percent of the vote.
No, really. That is six-zero!!
How’s that even possible when I didn’t know we were a finalist? Well, you must have somehow known because someone’s been voting. So now that it’s official…let’s vote! The rules are simple. You go to this website and vote for the Happy Wives Club as your favorite marriage site/blog. And then you do it again, and again, and again, each day until polling closes on March 19th (you can vote once every 24 hours).
Thank you for being such amazing readers, family and friends (yes, even the hubby reads HWC). Because of you, we continue to grow -well beyond my wildest hopes and dreams- and it’s because of this growth we’ll be introducing the all new Happy Wives Club site next week (finally, a website that’s not a template 
). And with the launch of our new site, we’ll be giving away an all-expenses paid trip (yes, even airfare) to Disneyland in Anaheim, California! Finally, a vacation that will allow you and your hubby to simply be kids again.
More to come on this unbelievable giveaway next week. But for today, thank you for taking the time out of your day to vote! I’ll update you on March 27th after they’ve announced the winner.
VOTE HERE
Until tomorrow…make it a great day!
Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):
177. He went to visit a friend of ours in the hospital today to interview caregivers for her in spite of his hectic schedule. He’s just that kind of guy.
178. He finds peace in my presence (amazingly, even when I’m chatting away).
179. My dream has long been to have a view of the water from our home. And although we got a much smaller place than one might expect for a man of his size (6’4″, 240 lbs), we just moved into a place with a fabulous view (tight quarters but we’re both so happy here).
