Wow what a week! The votes are in and I have to say it was a CLOSE race. Of course I would love to give everyone the official title of Not Mom of the Year…but unfortunately there can only be one.
The voters have spoken and after a very long voting week…they have chosen:
Empress @ Good Day Regular People
as our official
Not Mom of the Year
Not only does the Empress get to brag about her new title but she will also receive $150 gift card to Novica to shop, shop, shop!
A big congratulations to all of our finalists;
- One Cluttered Brain
- Mungee & Me
- Amber Page Writes
- Things I Can’t Say
- Confessions of a Semi-Slacker Mom
- Ballard Boys
- Really? I am a Mom?
- The Litany of Brittainy
- The Mother Load
Thank-you to everyone that participated, commented, and voted. If you missed all of the entries, head on over and read them….they are awesome!
Also, a special thank you to The Frilly Coconut
for designing our super cute contest button;
our sponsor Novica for donating such a fabulous gift
and of course my partner in crime, Mary! She was such a blast to work with and I am so glad we teamed up.
Make sure you head on over to Good Day Regular People to congratulate her on being named Not Mom of the Year!

Congrats!
WOW! and Holy Cow!
Not that I’ve been checking or anything….
Seriously, this is wonderful, and was a lot of fun to do.
The best part was reading and meeting all the NOT Mom’s of The Year. There are so many great, talented, funny, earnest and humble woman in this group of NOT moms of the year who are eager to lift each other up.
I know I’m not the only one who wants to say a HUGE thank you to The Mommyologist and Life Without Pink for all the work in organizing this.
Truly, I’ve met a couple of buds who have been in my daily life since this contest began. That is the real prize.
I will display the trophy proudly!
Congrats to everyone who is NOT a mom of the year.
And if you’re ever having a down day, just come over, I’ll make you feel like you’re doing it all right…
Thank you, and congrats to everyone, and what an honor to be in the company of the Finalists… all the essays were great…I don’t know how you were able to even stop at ten! They were all wonderful!
Thank you, again!
