“Mac and cheese, morning, noon, night…” — The Six-Word MOMoir Challenge
Friday, April 30th, 2010
Whether you are a mother or just have one, everyone has a six-word mom story to tell—a “Six-Word MOMoir.” Once again, SMITH Mag is teaming up with TruuMomConfessions and Postcards From Yo Momma for this year’s Six-Word MOMoir challenge. We’ll choose our favorite 6 six-word stories about being a mom or your relationship with your own mother. Each winner will get a book of their choice from one of the above sites, or a T-shirt with his or her MOMoir on it from our partner, Spreadshirt.
For some inspiration, we reached out to celebrity mommas, authors, and some of the web’s most prolific mommy bloggers to get the ball rolling.

• “I can’t stop kissing my kids.” —Daphne Brodgdon, Coolmom
• “Getting remarried, forever a single mom.” —Rachel Sarah, Singlemomseeking
