I had an absolute blast reading all of the entries this week. Ladies, you are awesome for taking the time out of your busy schedules to write a post or create a vlog {some of you even did this for the first time} and link up to our contest.
I’ve had a bit of anxiety this weekend picking the top five because there were so many great entries. I wish I could pick all of you, really I do but then that would defeat the whole contest thing.
I love the diversity of the entries; some made me laugh {a lot}, others were a bit sentimental and really touched me while others were so damn creative!
One thing I really took away from this contest is that I am like every other mom out there. I have struggles and I am less than perfect but one thing is for sure I love my boys with everything I have and every day I try to be the best mom I can be to them.
They are healthy, happy and most importantly LOVED every.single.day.
Narrowing it down to only five finalists was extremely hard – so guess what?
Mary and I decided to break the rules a bit!
So for the moment you have been waiting for our Top TEN Finalists {listed in no particular order}.
2. Mungee & Me
6. Ballard Boys
10. The Mother Load
Now go vote for your FAVORITE lady to win this prestigious award!
You can vote once a day until Friday, July 23rd. We will announce our WINNER on Monday, July 26th!
Thank you again to everyone that participated in our contest – we had a blast!
