The May Mommy Moment Winner(s)!

I read ALL of your submitted posts and I loved them all! I'm so glad I didn't have to choose a winner cause they were all SO GOOD! Thank you so much for the submissions!

Danielle had her work cut out for her but she made her decision. The May Mommy Moment of The Month Winner is....

Seraphim from Oh the Possibilities: "Say it With Flowers"
Oh but wait, it doesn't end there. I didn't have a winner for April and Danielle loved this post from April too so the April winner is...

Marybeth from Desperately Searching for My Inner Mary Poppins: "The Fate of 'Roger' the Ant"

Congrats! I'll be emailing both of you some questions for your feature post!

Now I also want to highlight these honorable mentions
1. Natalie from The Bobby Pin: "Smile"
Natalie, is also a future mama! I loved this post because I have absolutely been there, and felt this feeling. It's sure to put a smile on your face.
2. Quel from HomeGirl: "My First Day Back at The Gym"
Ok this one made me laugh because I've been on the other side of this situation several times working at daycare, and yes, when I'm a mom, I will be jealous of things my kid likes.

And please check out the rest of these posts. I loved each and every one of these and suggest you read all of them when you can! In the order they were received:
1. April from At Home with the Holmes: "Stir Crazy"
We all know there are some misconceptions with SAHMommyhood... I know I learned that the hard way, but after reading this post, I'm seeing even some simple tasks can turn difficult, yet very entertaining very quickly.
2. Emmy from Emmy Mom--One Day at a Time: "Backwards, Sideways and Inside out"
Umm, can I just say I remember these days?--Back when underwear was so hard to put on correctly. Oh, it won't be too long until I have my own little one like this struggling with the same problem.
3. Yakini from The Prissy Mommy Chronicles: "(Mis)Adventures in Eating Solids"
Ok this was is HILARIOUS and has a great video to prove this exact title. Believe it or not I've had the same situation with the boy I babysit, however I didn't have a camera rolling.-- This is a must see.
4. Kelly from Kelly and Her Boys: "Ode to Me! Hey, I'm the Mom Around Here"
A different twist on a Mother's Day poem. Not all roses here, she told her kids what she really thinks. It's really too cute.
5. Christy from That's Who I Am: "This is Why I Go To Work EVERYDAY!!"
Ok this one has a special place in my heart because she, like me is a future mama, but experiences little mommy moments every day at her job. I hope you'll take a moment to check this out cause while this moment made her day--Reading it, made mine.
6. Kate from Simply Mother: "Dinner Dilemma"
Sadly, I'm already there, but she sums this up better than I ever could--Even when I am on the mommy side of the road! Let's just pray I don't raise my kids at McDonalds.
7. Slee from Paisley and Pretties: "Selfish Mamahood"
This one seriously made me smile I can picture my husband and I having this same discussion over my little one. As a matter of fact, I think I've been here already with my puppy!
8. Cat aka Mama Nut from 4 Nuts in a Nutshell: "Sammy Finds Jesus"
Cat has a beautiful family and this is a great video of a beautiful milestone with her sweet son. You've gotta check it out!

And for all of you who were wondering about my pregnancy status... False alarm my friends, false alarm. I'll have more on that later.

Oh, and I was on the Chatterbox Radio today talking about being the 4th Wheel Blogroller to BlogHer '09. You can listen to it here.
