The New Catholic Media Awards

The former Catholic Blogger Awards has now been revamped into the Catholic New Media Awards and this year it includes alongside with Catholic blogs, Catholic websites and podcasts.

I wanted to share who I know that has been nominated, hopefully you will step on over at the beginning of June and chose the ones that you love most!

Some of my favourites have been nominated numerous times in most categories, like American Papist: Not Your Average Catholic (a great favourite of mine) and What Does the Prayer Really Say? also Jennifer over at Conversion Diary: The Diary of a Former Atheist. I'll mention these great blogs now and here rather than listing them over and over again in the different categories, I certainly will be giving each one a vote in some of the categories listed.

What I really wanted to share was those the nominations of fellow Catholic mothers that I admire greatly and value their presence and friendship in the online world, they each share a beautiful bit of happiness and holiness with us all.
