new-image.JPGThis is it, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the big announcement: This week’s Hot Stuff blogger! I know, I know, you’re all very excited. Well, as soon as you all take your seats, we’ll announce the winner…

…and… The winner of last week’s Hot Stuff poll is… Things I’ve Found In Pockets, with the fantastic blog entry, Toddler Repellent! Brilliant!! Go on, read it again, you know you want to.

And now, this week’s nominees for the hottest poll on the internet, GNMParents’ Hot Stuff Of The Week:

Our first nominee for this week’s Hot Stuff Of The Week competition is Jason, who writes a sincere and thoughtful essay on his solution for balancing work and kids.

This next post comes from The Moms Blog at The Post Star (out of Glens Falls, NY). Martha provides us with a terrific take on kids and the home phone. Pretty funny stuff.

Our third nominee for Hot Stuff Of The Week is Building Nutrition. This week, Stacie brings us a comprehensive entry on Healthy Halloween Treats. I know I have my stash of Snickers miniatures planned for give-aways, but hey, if I give away granola bars, that should mean I get the Snickers for myself, right?

Finally, we have an essay from Through The Looking Glass, a post on the perils of your kids’ friends’ ideas of fun. Funny, honest, and strong, which is the inspiring part.

There are your nominees, now get yourself to votin’!
