The prize: a year's subscription to Brian, Child magazine (my absolute favorite magazine). I am so excited to share this treasure with other mothers. If you don't already read it regularly, please give the site a look and consider subscribing (I'm not gaining anything if you do, but you surely will.).
The Contest: Brain, Child features a section called Back Talk in every issue, where readers share funny stories, poems, etc. in response to a clever question created by the editors. It is one of my favorite parts of the magazine. So here's my take on their good ideas: Leave a comment with an original haiku (see here for instructions/tips) about your average day as a mother. Here's my lame attempt:
rise to sun and child
smile scold laugh plead play read
twinkle twinkle sleep
smile scold laugh plead play read
twinkle twinkle sleep
The Rules: One entry per person. Winner will be selected at random on July 25th after noon. Only comments with haikus will be considered for the drawing. Make sure I have a way to contact you.
Special thanks to the wonderful folks at Brain, Child who are graciously donating the subscription.
Good luck!!

ReplyDeleteI'm not technically a mom yet. Two more months to go! But I'll throw my hat in the ring anyway:
ReplyDeleteInsomnia, gas
Swollen feet, face and belly
A kick makes me smile

Eat, play, love. Then: work.
