The Mom Crowd

I mentioned a few weeks ago here that I won third prize in AWildRide.net‘s writing contest. They have published my essay titled, ‘What to Expect When Your Mother’s Parenting is Not What You Expected’ on their site. Check it out here!

Thanks!

I am pleased to introduce to you our newest featured author Dawn! She will have a regular spot here every Friday sharing her thoughts and views of moms in pop culture. In December she received great response to her guest blog post ‘Unsung Wonder-Moms in Film.’

I am so excited that she is going to be writing for us every week! I have been following her blog for quite some time and I know that she is genuine and honest. She loves t.v., movies, pop culture, and photography. She is an active participant of Best Shot Monday and Thursday’s Theme. Her two adorable children make you want to nibble on their ears. Seriously, too cute.

About Dawn:

I am the proud mom of Lucy (born February 2006) and Eli (born July 2007). They are just seventeen months apart! Both of my pregnancies were relatively easy and fun, and I had c-sections with both kiddos. I breastfed Lucy for 13 months (yes, this overlapped well into my second pregnancy!), and I’m still nursing Eli. I have found being a stay at home mom both joyful and challenging. My husband is a youth pastor, which means I am still learning how to be content with his odd hours and frequent weekend activities. Before kids, I was an English teacher for 7 years. I’m a huge fan of movies, I watch far too much t.v., and I enjoy photography, blogging, and participating in church activities in my free time.

Be sure to stop by every Friday and give Dawn a shout out!

Me! A while back I mentioned here that AWildeRide.net was having a writing contest. The theme of the contest is “What to Expect When Parenting is Not What You Expected” and each entry had to relate to the content in their site. I submitted an essay titled, “What to Expect When Your Mother’s Parenting Isn’t What You Expected.” I found out last night that I won third place! The third prize was actually what I wanted to win, because of the prizes that were being offered. I will be sure to let you know when it is published on their site in February so you can check it out! I am so excited!

Check out the announcement of the winners on AWildRide.net.
