The ALA Awards were presented last week. There were a LOT of winners. Mom wasn’t any of them. Not only did she not WRITE any of the winning books, she has barely READ any of the winning books. I think she needs to step up her game. She has printed out the list, so that’s a good start.
Meanwhile, I have been winning awards left and right over here.
Our friends Wallace and Samuel and Coccolino gave us the Best Blog Around the World Award.
Around the WORLD – Hear that, Mom?
Our friend at Trifles gave us the Cracking Chrispmouse Bloggywog Award
and the Opposites Attract Award
See, Mom? I spread joy, peace, cheer, and stuff like that all over the place.
And our friends Little B. and Granny at Angelswhisper gave us the Excellence Award. 
Excellence, Mom. Not just-OK or good-enough or kinda-nice or a Rate-Your-Story-4.
Thanks to all of our bloggy friends for sharing these awards.
And Mom, it’s seriously time to step up your game.
Less this….
…and more this!

That is a lot of awards, Cupcake! Congratulations!
Your mom really is going to have to step up her game to catch up with you. I think you could give her a few pointers.
Thanks, C. Mom will never catch up to me! I’ve got a great head start.

C
Lookit all those awards Cupcake! My goodness gracious…..I have to admit that my eyes were also drawn to that donut….yum…..I have a feeling that your Mom is destined to receive one of those awards for her books too – my Mom always says stuff like “all things in their own time”……but I say “I WANT IT NOW!!!”…………
Hugs, Sammy
I Want It Now is my middle name, S. For one thing, I wanted a piece of that donut! No luck….
Love and licks,
C
Must say I agree with Sammy Cupcake..that donut has me hooked! poor mum let her eat donuts for tomorrow I am sure she will be back on top of her game….sometimes we don’t get what we want or like so we can stop and focus and what we need..mum will come up trumps..i can feel it in my waters ! and wow what a stash of awards…well done Cupcake….:) hugs Fozziemum xx
Thanks, FM. Mom says the excuse of needing energy from the donut. Ha! How much energy does a person need to sit at the computer and talk to herself?
Love and licks,
C
Bwahahaha quite a lot Cupcake!! it’s not easy to make something tangible from the ether! so go mum!! even if she does have a donut to get her mojo working 🙂 Hugs Fozziemum xx
YAY! Congratulations. XOXO – Bacon
P.S. I can take that chocolate doughnut off of your mom’s hands – evil snort. It looks delicious!
Thanks, B. Are you allowed to eat chocolate? I’m not. Mom is…
Love and licks,

Congratulations on all your awards, Cupcake! You’re an inspiration to us all, and I’m sure to your mom too. But don’t make her feel too bad – after all, she’s printed out the list of award winners – that’s progress, right? 🙂
Thanks, S. Mom is off to a good start with the list. It remains to be seen what happens next.
Love and licks,

What a sweet blog — you need the chocolate for energy with the cold. I loved the photos and captions. Congrats on the awards Cupcake.
Thanks, P. From the smell of cookies baking in the oven, I think Mom will have PLENTY of energy.
Love and licks,

Well, I was crossing my fingers and toes for your Mom to win. But it looks like she did win in a whole other way!

Step it up? I don’t know anyone the works harder at it than mom, but ok. STEP IT UP!
Congrats on all the awards!
Thanks, G. No matter how hard Mom works, there’s always room to step it up. How else can she compete with me??
Love and licks,
C
Very true!
Cupcake, oh my goodness you are loading up on awards! Congrats! We disagree…we think you should load up on books AND those yummy treats 🙂
That’s what Mom thinks. She can’t get anything done without treats. I’m kinda like that, too, come to think of it.
Love and licks,
C
Congrats on all your awards, Cupcake 🙂
Thank you! xo
Love and licks,
C
Well Cupcake, you are very lucky winner and I know, that you know, that your Mom is in a very different class. I am sure that, if it was up to you, Mom would get every book award out there. 🙂
She would! Then we’d both be winners!
Love and licks,
C
Wow, Cupcake, you have so many awards. Congratulations. We think your Mom needs her treats so she can keep going – just like we need our treats. 🙂
It’s true, S and K. Not much happens around here without treats…
Love and licks,
Cupcake
GREAT WORK Genevieve !!! Proud of you baby!

Love and licks,

Congratulations on receiving so much well deserved recognition!
Thanks, B. Recognition is my favorite thing ever!
Love and licks,
C
Hoot! Cupcake. You sure are popular. I think you should share them with your mom. 🙂
I think so, too, T. At least until she gets some of her own….
Love and licks,
C
Congratulations on all your awards. But don’t tell your mom to do less of those donuts. Just get her to share with you.
Sharing! Yes, B.! …but it may be easier said than done.
Love and licks,
C
Haha Cupcake
You’re a very strict mentor to your Mom buddy! 🙂
Hope you’re having a fun day
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Congrats on all the awards Cupcake, well-deserved!
Congrats…that donut looks delish!!!!
