Welcome to Scribbit, a blog about motherhood in Alaska. I'm Michelle Mitton and I've been married to Andrew since 1992, we have four children (Lillian age 7, David age 11, Spencer age 13 and Grace age 16) and I post about life here in Alaska along with anything else I happen to enjoy.I publish recipes on Sundays, household tips or crafts on Wednesdays and product reviews and giveaways on Saturday. Other days find me publishing stories about our Alaskan adventures, thoughts on parenting, tips for building your own blog and an occasional interview with a celebrity, author or guest blogger (don't miss the interview I had with Patrick Dempsey or Mary Lou Retton).
You can read my ebook Blogging in Pink: A Woman's Guide which can be downloaded for free for pdf format or through Amazon.com for a digital reader format.

Yay for you! Congratulations and well wishes. I love the "Florida" story. Tell David it was almost 100 degrees here today and he certainly doesn't want to send his daddy here right now!
ReplyDeleteWow, Michelle, that is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteCograts Michelle - and thanks for the intro!!
ReplyDeleteHooray Michelle! Many congrats!!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for posting the picture, too. Now I can put a proper face to the name, instead of the profile pic of your avatar :-)
PS - HAHAHAHAHA!! I just read the Florida story! Oh my goodness (shaking head). Well, if it's any consolation, when Hannah was in the first grade, they were required to write and illustrate a short story based on something they had done over the weekend. When the teacher handed me Hannah's work at her parent/teacher conference she said, "You sure do have a great time as a family!" The sad thing is, Hannah had MADE UP almost all of her stories. I guess Hannah was just too embarrassed to admit how truly boring we are!
ReplyDeleteAh. I have been waiting for this link!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations scribbit. It is recognition fully deserved!
Well done you!
And by the way, I love your voice!
Congratulations! You certainly deserve it. And it was a treat to hear your read a portion of your winning entry.
ReplyDeleteCould have done with that six months ago when I first started blogging [like a little map for beginners!]
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on the 'print' version.
Cheers
Michelle, looks like that 3 year plan Andrew keeps you on is paying off. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. So nice to see all your hard work bearing fruit. It gives the rest of us hope.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...Congratulations Michelle...You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a wonderful honor.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the honours. I don't think your voive sounds bad but I know what you mean because I dread hearing mine recorded, it sounds so whiney to me. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Anyone can write a blog, but not everyone does it well. I'm not local, but I'm loyal. :) Way to go!
ReplyDeleteWell deserved, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting! Hope this gets you rethinking about submitting some of your creative writing.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI have a blog project at blogsunday.blogspot.com
It is to create the largest team blog on the web there the authors don't know each other.
Blogging is fun! I figured because you are such a popular blogger, cant you write something about this crazy idea? Please, help spread the word.
You're so organized. I want to be just like you!

That is great! Congratulations! And what a nice picture, to boot!
ReplyDeleteYeay Michelle. You are GEORGOUS. LOVE this photo of you. And congrats.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Congratulations and YOU ROCK!
ReplyDeleteThere have been give aways and I didn't know about this? This is an outrage! You'll hear from my lawyer, young lady! Err, maybe you'll hear from your own lawyer first.
ReplyDelete:-)
Oh yes. I almost forgot.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!
You really deserved it.
Congratulations, Michelle! The recognition is well-deserved.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, congrats, congrats! You deserve to have your talent recognized! And I love the picture you used for this post.
ReplyDeleteoh sister, good for you. congrats.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you! And your voice sounds exactly as I'd expect.
ReplyDeleteAs for David's story...well, he must be a pretty good storyteller to hook his teacher like that. ; )
Yeah congratulations Scribbit!
ReplyDeleteWell done Michelle. You're an inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being featured in print! LOVED the story, all mothers will be able to identify with this one, but you tell it so well.
ReplyDeleteThe blog introduction is also a great idea, along with the housekeeping tips. Thanks for the inspiration to continue on!
I know I have said it before, but congradulations.
ReplyDeleteIt's finally nice to hear your voice
ReplyDeleteCongrats Michelle! That totally rocks! (And really, I'm not surprised at all...)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to have your writing recognized like that. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteA hearty congratulations to you! Well deserved!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, Michelle. You're just lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so great! I am so happy for your success!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You deserve the recognition.
ReplyDeleteFirst, congrats on the contest! Second, that story is HI-larious. And I have a similar one.
ReplyDeleteI went to "back to school" night and MY David's teacher mentioned casually that it must have been neat to live in Spain.
Um. Come again?
Yes, David had told her that he speaks Spanish and had lived in Spain. WTH?
I wasn't nearly as creative as you about approaching him with it, though! Too funny.
Congrats!!!! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Iam not surprised are the winner. I adore you simple writing skills. may be someday you should attempt to publish book(s)..!!
ReplyDeleteA belated congratulations! I enjoyed hearing you read your Florida piece. You sound like you look ... isn't that a strange thing to say? I guess what I mean is - you remind me, physically, of the lead actress on Men in Trees - and you sound a little like her too. So it all fits, because it's what my brain expected to hear.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, way to go! And I'm looking forward to your redesign.
Grace is 16?! Wow, time does fly!
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog! Great recipes, stories, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'll come back again and browse some more soon:) I was looking for a subscribe/follow button, but couldn't find one:(
I just got done with your very awesome ebook. Thanks so much for putting that together for all of us novice mommy bloggers! You're great!
