Had one of those moments? As a mother of a 9, 8, 4, 2, and 1
year old, I feel your pain. My goal is to create, with my sisters
in motherhood, a gift quality book that can be given to any
mom to help her realize she’s not alone. We’re
all constantly laughing at our situations, but often have no
other adult to share our stories with or the time to reflect
on the events of any given day.
Re-live your funniest mom misadventure
in descriptive and emotional words. As in, been there, felt
that crazy!
Stories should be
between 400 and 1500 words in length. All stories must be true,
but also hard to believe!
Misadventures of Moms is pubished by Moms In Print. The anthology
is non-paying for contributors; but $1.00 of each sale from the
first edition is being donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation
to fight breast cancer.
Deadline for second edition submissions: May 30th, 2004
