A Weekend Update

I’m sure anyone who reads here must be thinking that I’m taking a bit of a blog-cation.  But alas, I’ve been working hard and you are about to see the fruits of my labor.  I’ve been spending many a neurotic hour on my site redesign.  I had the header designed by someone else, but there is so much more styling involved!  You almost won’t recognize this little space in a couple of days.  I don’t even think I’m capable of expressing how truly excited I am to go live.  The unveil will also include a new post I’ve been working on, so check back soon!

In other news, I have been asked to be a guest on tonight’s episode of Coparenting Matters, a weekly online radio show from the founders of Coparenting101 and WeParent.  This week’s episode is entitled “Helping Kids Cope” and we will be discussing  the impact that parental conflict has on children and some strategies for easing the experience of divorce, separation and two household living on kids.  I have already told you a few times on this site how much I respect the work of Mike and Deesha from coparenting101.  Talibah has left a few very insightful comments here as well and her website is amazing.  You should really stop by.  My favorite category is “Fatherhood Freestyle“, a collection of guest posts written by divorced dads.

So if you’re not doing anything Sunday night starting at 9:30 pm EST, please feel free to listen in or join in the conversation yourself! (And be gentle.  I’m already worried enough that I’ll sound like a moron!)

And now on to some shameless self promotion…..

Nominations are now open for the Canadian Blog Awards.  And since I am Canadian, I would just love to get one of these.  I don’t really have a lot of hope for this year, but hey!  You never know until you try.  There is no limit to how many catagories one can nominate my blog for and you can nominate as many blogs as you want (just in case you know any other fancy Canadian bloggers!).  If you can spare a minute, the nomination process is (although not as easy as I wish is was) pretty easy and I’ll provide the link below.  My blog could be nominated for: overall, blog post (if you had a favorite), blog post series, family, new and/or personal.  Go ahead and nominate me here:

Thanks everyone!  And the next time you come to visit, prepare to have your socks knocked off!
