MomsMaterial is excited to announce our first Contest!
Our most recent featured book, The Parent Trip: From High Heels and Parties to Highchairs and Potties by Jenna McCarthy has led us on a search to find funny mommy stories. Jenna's book takes us through the pre-baby making stage up until the first year. One of the things I love about Jenna's writing style is the humor and wisdom. She entertains you with great stories and also provides great wisdom and information needed to survive.
Do you have a funny Mommy (or on my way to Mommy status) story? If so, submit your story in the comments below. The funniest story just might win a signed copy of Jenna's book. She has agreed to sign and send her book to the winner! Thanks, Jenna! The Parent Trip was recently a featured book, click here to read my review.

Even though I don’t qualify (Jenna and I have already designated ourselves with the number 1 and 2 spot), I will get you started…
When my daughter was 4, she reminded me about the effects of gravity. She walked into my room as I was dressing, just before I put on my bra. She looked at me kinda strange and said, “Mommy, aren’t those supposed to be up there?” I looked at her and said, “They used to be, before I had you!” The very next day, she came in as I was putting on my makeup. She said, “Mom, what’s that?” She was pointing at my face so I looked in the mirror but didn’t notice anything. “What?” She pointed again, this time at my forehead and said, “that line”. I looked in the mirror and to my horror realized what she meant. I replied, “Wrinkles, I got those from you too!” I am still trying to convince myself that my hubby put her up to that!
