And the Winners of the MOMoirs Contest Are…
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009
SMITH teamed up with truuconfessions and Postcard from Yo Momma for a six-word challenge about all things Mom. Once again, your six words spanned the emotional waterfront from hilarious (”Key West: I’m eight, she’s topless”) to intense (”Loved her. Hated her. Became her”). We have two grand-prize winners. In the MOMoir About Being a Mom” category, Nancy Lenox won the judges’ hearts with, “Two children. Accidents, but not mistakes.” For the MOMoir About Your Own Mom, the top choice is “Screw cancer. Mom went to Paris,” by Leslie Constans. Thanks to everyone who participated. Check out the runners-up and more brilliant MOMoirs after jump.
