In honor of the new movie Motherhood, a unique movie about a real mom, I’m looking for some other Scary Mommies out there.
What is a Scary Mommy, you ask? I believe a Scary Mommy is a mother who doesn’t leave the house wearing lipstick at all times. A Scary Mommy loves her kids to death, but will admit to feeling totally overwhelmed and exhausted by the gig. A Scary Mommy doesn’t really care what other people think, and a Scary Mommy thinks that all mothers win when we admit our weaknesses. How would you describe it? It’s up to you!
Are you a Scary Mommy too? Write a post on your own blog referring to this post and come back and link it up here by Thursday. On Friday, October 23, I will choose the mom who is the most convincing of their Scary Mommy status. Have your readers vouch for you in the comments section, I’ll take that into consideration when making my choice.
The winner’s blog entry will appear on my blog and on Eliza’s blog as a guest post linking back to their own site. The winner will also receive… Are you ready for this? A Flip video camera.
Do you have a Flip? I adore mine. It’s so light that it stays in my purse at all times, allowing me to capture moments that I never would have before. It plugs directly into the computer and couldn’t be easier to use. I use mine all the time. You will love it.
The runner up will receive a Motherhood t-shirt, movie poster and a set of Aden and Anais Zoo Muslin Swaddling Blankets. These blankets are just wonderful– light and soft and just fantastic for newborns and kids alike. Sold in sets of four, they are made for gift giving. Or, keep two and give to away. Perfect!
So, link up and best of luck. I can’t wait to read what you have to say!

{The fine print: To be eligible as a winner, you must write or republish a post and link back here. I would love my international friends to play, but the prize is only open to residents of the US and Canada.}

I can’t believe I entered, but I did. And eventually, you’ll see the point of my entry. It’s just scary long. I guess I just wanted to take the scary route to get to the point. I now love using the word scary. Thanks for the opportunity!

Leigh vs. laundry’s post is scary AND hilarious! She gets my vote. Plus she’s brave. She faced a ‘perfect’ mom (isn’t that the scary mom’s sworn nemesis?) and prevailed.
Fun contest!
