Every two weeks or so, MommaSaid awards one lucky mom for her daily duties as a mom.
The Housewife Awards recognize moms for the relentless, exhausting, incredible
and often amusing things they experience - and endure - daily.

You Cannot Be Serious - and 32 Other Rules that Sustain a (Mostly) Balanced Mom ,
and a Housewife Award® certificate for the fridge.

THE RULES
Please read this before you enter!
What are we looking for?
- We're NOT looking for Mother of the Year.
- We ARE looking for a funny story or situation that sums up the occasional
craziness of motherhood.
- We want to hear what you put up with on a
day-to-day basis, not that you're coming up with the cure for cancer while the
baby naps (though I would appreciate that).
- PLEASE BE SPECIFIC. Don't tell us you cart four kids around in your
mini-van, clean floors and volunteer at school while taking night classes.
We're all doing that!
- Tell us a story of something that happened to you that
shows how exhausting and confounding motherhood can be. Humor is a plus. Poop is fine, but really not necessary every single time.
(Check
out the awards archives for examples.)
Note: Unclaimed prizes will no longer be available after 90 days from contact from MommaSaid.net

OUR LATEST WINNER
Julie Driver of Ocklawaha, Florida
Nana ain't playin'.
Julie is our latest winner of the Housewife Awards® for her No Nonsense Nana.
Here is Julie's story, in her own words: "So I have six kids that range in age from 26 years down to 1 year.
I have eight grand children.
"Apparently over the years, I am getting a weee bit thin on patience. Last year, we took three of our grandchildren
for a week (when I had a six month old-- not sure why lol). I made lunch for the grandkids and my grandson AJ
was giving me grief because he didn't want the type of sandwich I had made him. I told him I was not a short order cook
and he would eat what was on his plate.
"As I walked from the dining room to check on the baby I heard my seven-year-old granddaughter lean over and tell him:
'You better eat it... Nana don't play'."
You're a good mom, Julie! You win win a copy of James W. Stone's
Spend Joyfully: Managing Your Financial Lifestyle, as Easy as Attitude, Budget and Cash Flow, a $10 gift card for Starbucks
and a Housewife Award® certificate for the fridge.
