The Homies: Best Kid's Design Blog of 2008?
Vote for one...

12-20-homies1.jpgGet out the vote! This time it's for the top prize and lots of link love.

Thanks to all of you who sent in nominations for this year's best Kid's Design Blog. We received 23 excellent nominations (which all deserve a looksee) and whittled the field down to six based on your comments and a few other factors including how often they posted, if they were a standalone blog, how new long they'd been around and/or how closely they spoke to kid's design as a category. It was very hard to choose, and our apologies for not being able to choose more than six for the finals (yours didn't make it this year? There's always next year). You can check out all the nominations below the jump and then vote on your favorite of the top six here. Voting closes next Tuesday at 8pm Eastern. Nominations post here. All prizes & info here.

I voted for Cool Mom Picks as I read it almost every day, but I also LOVE Bloseum kids, I just don't for some reason look at it that often. I have never heard of some of the others so am excited to check them out! Thanks for the list!

Oh, and Soule Mama and Design Mom are on my read list, as is Wisecraft.

I also wanted to vote for O-c-Chou and I could not manage...too bad.

It is one of my favorite blogs and it is part of my daily readings.

Never mind, I figured out that if I close the page and then come back to the url, it allows me to vote. Hitting the refresh button is not enough.. (???)

I like babygadget.net which wasn't even nominated. But of the ones that were Bloesem kids, definitely.

For people who've had voting problems -- there was a bug in the "superlogout" code that made logging out of ohdeedoh (and re-nest, thekitchn and unplggd) impossible. If you've had trouble voting, please try the logout link again and let us know if it works.

Also, if the "answer survey" button is grayed out, try holding down shift and reloading the page. Sometimes the survey form gets stuck in the browser cache in the "not logged in" state and that should clear it out.

minor details is the best source for children's rooms!
This voting has been way too difficult! It should be easier to tell you how great minor details and Jennifer Ward Tinervin really are!!! :-)

My vote goes to Minor Details - the creativity and in-site of this company is unbelivable - Minor Details has got it together for the up and coming "little ones"

Since I did not see my vote changing the results, I also vote here!
Wee Baby Stuff is the closer to pure childhood heart and mind.
The best by far!!!!!!!
