Of Blogging and Essay Contests...


I have been a terrible blogger lately. However, I have a good excuse.

Remember this girl? She aspires to become a writer.
Last week, she entered her first essay contest.

The essay the judges choose will receive scholarship opportunities. In addition, the essay with the most Facebook "likes" gets an iPad. (She's more excited about the iPad than the scholarship.)
My daughter inherited her competitive spirit from her Korean Mama! And we've been furiously campaigning for votes, so blogging has been put on the back-burner while the contest cooks, I mean lasts.

However, I do have fresh posts coming!
Earthen Oven Pizza...

Chicken Pot Pie...

Crab Cake Sandwiches...

As for the scholarship contest, my girl has never been more grateful to have a mom who twitters, blogs, contacts Facebook friends on her behalf. And I'd do just about anything for her because she's my little girl.

If you have a Facebook, please click here to vote!
