About The Contest
SMITH and TrueMomConfessions.com challenge you to define your motherhood experience in just six words.
Never imagined you'd have to tell your kid to stop biting the dog ("Better mom when someone is looking")? Wondering where your sex life disappeared to ("Boobs in race to hit floor")? Wishing the grape juice was wine ("2am baby shrieking. Husband still snoring")? Every mom on this big, blue marble has a story.
Lay your tiny tale on us and you could win a copy of SMITH's new book or a $100 shopping spree at Delight.com.
In our new book, Not Quite What I was Planning: Six Word Memoirs from Writers Famous and Obscure, SMITH Magazine offers hundreds of minuscule yet insightful life stories. And now the short, short life story sensation is getting in touch with its maternal instincts.

Surprisingly addictive, Not Quite is both a moving peek at the minutia of humanity and the most literary toilet reading you'll ever find.
About TrueMomConfessions.com
One year ago, True Mom Confessions Founder Romi Lassally's son projectile vomitted on her notoriously difficult to clean sea-grass carpet, and since it was midnight, she left the gross pile on the floor hoping her dog would eat it. The next day, she confessed her dirty domestic secret to a girlfriend, who winced in disgust and applauded her ingenuity. The simple act of confessing to a less-than-perfect motherly moment provided much needed relief, and TMC was born.
