A huge thank you to all of you who voted on our “Best of PAIL – 2012″ polls! We are so thrilled with the direction this space has taken this year, the community that flows through and around it, and the genuine support and conversations to be found here and crossing over around the blogroll. It has been everything we envisioned and more. To say that we are excited about projects to come in 2013 would be an understatement. We can’t wait!

And now… *drumroll please*

The winners of the “Best of PAIL – 2012″ as voted by you!

Wanted for Robbery @ No Baby Ruth

This post spoke to a lot of us, for various reasons. I still find it as profound, as moving, and as true reading it again today as I did when I wrote about it earlier this year.

Congratulations No Baby Ruth!!! We’ll email you the instructions to add the badge to your blog!

Stiff competition in this category! Six contenders in fact! But there can only be one…

Mandski @ Full Bed

A sweet shot of the adorable sleeping Mira takes the cake in 2012. And those lashes…ugh!

Congratualtions Mandski!!! We’ll email you instructions to add the badge to your blog too!

By far one of our most popular posts of the year, and in a nearly unanimous decision…

“The Mom Stays in the Picture”

Josey’s write up on this Huffington Post article of the same name spurred not only a lot of discussion, but a good deal of reflection and resolution to *be* in the picture more. And since we can’t give ourselves a badge for this one, let’s revisit all the beautiful mothers who shared their thoughts and their photos with us in response to this post:

Chon at Life Begins

Lulu at The Wild Rumpus

SRB at Little Chicken Nuggets

Fiona at Life Amongst the Palm Trees

Gemini Momma at Three Geminis and a Sagittarius

Sarah at Mommyhood After Fertility Frustration

Courtney at All the Sun For You

No Baby Ruth at No Baby Ruth

If we missed you, please let us know in the comments!

Another HUGE thank you to each and every one of you for making this year so rewarding and enriching for this little niche within the larger community. We’ll be adding another new feature very soon in the New Year, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

I take no credit whatsoever for Mira’s eyelashes–those are her father’s. Always, always, thank you, PAIL ladies, for all the time and effort you put into PAIL. Reply
