The Homies!!!

I am so incredibly excited to tell everyone that Shoes Off Please has been nominated for Apartment Therapy’s 2013 “The Homies“!!!

This is by far the coolest thing to happen to my blog. If it had legs it would be hardcore-shamelessly-arms-flailing-dancing right now. (My personal happy dance is of course completely graceful).
I remember the first time I was on Apartment Therapy was for Aiden’s first birthday and that was super exciting.

I’m in the Home Design and Inspiration category and I would be so completely honored if you would vote for me.
The way it works is that this week, blogs are being nominated and voted on and then next week, the top six get voted on for the winner.

It's incredible timing because tomorrow is when I'm switching over to being a self-hosted site!
A HUGE serious thank you to my nominat..er(?) nominor(?) nominiminamor(?) the muppets are coming to mind… okay I don't know what you're called but THANK YOU!!
