Mother's Day Photo Contest

5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a Mother’s Day 2008 giveaway! They are kicking it off by offering a $1,000 gift card to the winner of their photo contest! We are supposed to share a photo that defines motherhood…and I could always use $1000 bucks, so I started looking through some of my favorites and here is my entry.



This is a picture of me with three-month old Ella. She used to wake up at about 6 am to eat every morning and I would bring her into my bed to nurse and we would fall back asleep together. I think this picture is a combination of contentment, exhaustion and love--all qualities that define motherhood for me. Plus, there is something about a sleeping baby that tugs at my heartstrings. Enjoy and I encourage you all to sign yourselves up!
