Mother's Day CONTEST

Well, Mother's Day is just around the corner. As we work on cleaning out our basement, I have been going through old photographs and letters. I am struck by the women in my life who have impacted me. I like to think of Mother's Day as not just for the "moms" in our lives - but for the important women in my life. I have to agree with Oprah (just once): "Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother."

For me that's my wonderful sister who spoils me and my family beyond belief. My Grandma - who at 93 is as spunky and fun as ever! My mom who just loves, and loves, and loves some more. My aunts, my friends, my mother-in-laws, all the women who have invested time, love and energy into my life. Thank you.

As I was looking at photos that showed women's caring relationships - I was drawn to a reoccurring action. Children nestling into their moms - as if for protection and comfort. From babes to grown children, I think we think of the mom figures in our lives as a comfort. A refuge. I know when my own two girls are upset, they just need to be held and loved. My youngest, Eden, will ask "I lay head on your shoulder" when she is upset - and suddenly her two year-old world is right again.

This Mother's Day may you enjoy the comfort and love of the women in your life - and take time to thank them for how they have impacted you!

Enter today and WIN!


Send me an e-mail telling me briefly about the women in your life that have impacted you (a mom, sister, aunt, friend, neighbour...). What makes them so great? I love stories and would love to read yours! A $10 gift certificate to Krista Jefferson Photography will be given to all valid entries (one gift certificate per household) - just for sharing about the women you love! The First Place Winner will receive a free photo session and a $25 gift certificate for Krista Jefferson Photography. Contest closes May 12, 2007 and the winner will be announced on Mother's Day!(Please note: I may use quotes from your stories on the blog - we all want to celebrate these women together!) I will be sending a printable version of the gift certificates that you can print off - so you can still get it to her in time for Mother's Day! (Whew!)

Again - to enter, send me an e-mail with the subject line "Mother's Day".
