Chicago Dog Award: Fall 2011 Edition

The Chicago Dog Award took the summer off as it was busy serving up dogs at Wrigley. But now that fall is in the air, it’s back and ready to spread some more dog-to-blog love. The Chicago Dog Award was created to highlight bloggers who I find to have the perfect mix of ingredients and ones…

Chicago Dog Award Winners, April Edition

Every 2 or 3 months, the Chicago Dog Award makes a grand appearance for a day, anoints a few new honorees, and disappears as quickly as it arrived.  It’s been a few months, and this Chi-Town girl is eager to hand out a few piping-hot, new dogs! (For those of you who are new to…

Kicking Off the New Year with a Fully Loaded Dog

I wanted to start the year off right by giving recognition to some women in this blogosphere whom I truly love and admire! The “Chicago Dog: Everything But Ketchup” award salutes bloggers who have what I find to be just the right mix of ingredients…without any ketchup. Witty, smart, sassy & true-to-life! Sprinkle on a…

The Buddy System

I’ve been all about confessions lately. I confessed to hearing other bloggers’ voices in my head.  I admitted to being sound asleep when the clock struck midnight the past 6 New Year’s.  I even made a few kids’ birthday party-related confessions. Now here I go again, risking whatever non-lameness and credibility I may have left…

Wiener Wednesdays

I, again, have been an *asshat* about spreading the Chicago lovin’. It’s been 2 months since the debate between Wiener Wednesdays and Frankfurter Fridays occurred, which means it’s been 2 months since I paid it forward to any of my bloggy loves. We’re going to give Wiener Wednesdays a whirl today while I give a…

Proof of a Life

I have a myriad of people to thank for their kindness and bloggy love! Here are some shouts and link love to some fabulous ladies… Thank you to the generous and sweet Mama Hen, Cori, Laura, Hannah, Kate, Tina, Imperfect Momma, Amy, Mrs Fine, Ellen Marie, Drama Mama, Sherri & Big Mama Cass!! Most blog…

In Search of Proper Alliteration

It has been 2 months since I last gave out any deliciously awesome Chicago Dog Awards, and that’s just wrong. My problem is that I always handed them out on Thursdays, and I guess I’ve been too busy with Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop for a while. But to hand out Chicago Dog Awards on any…

Take-A-Tour Thursday, Stops 11 & 12

It’s been a few weeks since I passed out any Chicago Dog Awards, but I have 2 new blog loves that I’m excited to recognize today! This week’s Tour stops at 2 blogs that I have come to enjoy because of their originality.  Both of them have a very unique niche, if you will, and I admire them tremendously…

I’m Sure You’re Dying to Know

To be perfectly honest {wink wink}, I kinda like the posts where blog authors reveal random tidbits of themselves and their lives.  Their personality quirks, and likes & dislikes give a great glimpse into them as a person and helps me to better understand and appreciate their stories. Julie at The Peanut Gallery…Exit Here bestowed upon me this…

Feeling Kinda Like A Hot Dog Vendor

We’re going to knock it out of the park today!  So much so that I feel like I should be pushing a metal, wheeled cart, complete with umbrella. (photo credit: bottomdollar.com) I want to hand out a couple more Chicago Dog awards, and also revisit a few previous blog mentions. First, I want to highlight…
