This is my first blog and my first time linking, I hope I did it right! What a great prize!

Holy Heavens! I don’t think I’ve EVER been 1st in posting my link on such an awesome giveaway! I am so absolutely excited about it - I don’t know if my entry is exactly what you were looking for, but I think the letter to my daughter tells SO much about how I love being a mother. There is unfortunately not just one moment that captures the wonderfulness of being a Mommy. Though when my daughter was born it was quite amazing… There are too many more moments that are ALL so important to me in being a Mom… And I hope for many more to come.

Thank you SO much for such an awesome contest, and thanks for letting me participate. Much love to you all, take care and God Bless!

I’ve posted in the linky, I’m “Loving Heart Mommy”
I’ve posted about my favorite motherhood moment!

I would love to have this to give to my sister, great photographer. Thanks!

My favorite motherhood moment was when I saw my baby for the first time

My favorite motherhood moment was 3 months ago, when I got to hold my son in my arms for the first time, after giving birth.

My favorite motherhood moment was when I went all my brothers and sisters made my mom a big lunch.SHE LOVED IT

I’d love to win a flash drive!

As far as motherhood goes, holding them for the very first time is my favorite moment. Each year on their birthdays I wake them up by telling them about the day they were born and how I felt holding them and looking into their little faces. I lay in bed with them during this time and hold them before they get up for the day. And we pray together. :O) I’ll be out of town so I’m not entering for the Mother’s one, but still wanted to share. :O)

My favorite motherhood moment was when my son took his very first steps! I was so proud and happy! A truly wonderful moment! Thanks!

Count me in the contest! In addition to being a mom and other things, I am a . Flashdrives drive me wild….

If aunthood counts I remember laying on my back with my newly born niece on my stomach and thinking the view was so funny that I started laughing uncontrollably.
My niece started laughing also for the first time and my sister still accuses me of giving her my laugh - we do sound the same.

My favorite motherhood moment would probably be my first motherhood moment. We had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of our child. Our co-workers were all on standby and our work schedules were permitted to be cleared at a moments notice. I had a discussion with God that weekend. I told Him that I knew that I was being selfish, but if our child had been born that weekend or Monday at the latest, we would have our bundle o’ joy home for Christmas. Then it happened. I got to work with a co-worker out of breath and nearly having a heart attack because we got a call. I called our social worker and she was here. A little girl! We could get her the next day. I had to leave. It was December 22, and in the midst of the holiday retail, but I announced that I just had a baby as I was dashing out the door. I wanted to tell my husband in person and almost drove straight into the side of a car. I grabbed him up from work, went home and dealt with a flurry of phone calls. They okay’d her release and we got her that day! A beautiful present for Christmas!

You know what? The following year on her first birthday, she was officially adopted.

Great giveaway!! How exciting!!

I’d like to save all my pictures instead of keeping them on my camera.

Very handy

i could use this!

My favorite motherhood moment was last summer, when all of our kids and grandkids were here to help us celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was very special to have them all together.

Tandem nursing my twins. Unbelievable. Boy was that first year tough! Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

We couldn’t have kids, so our best motherhood moment was when we adopted our sons.

There are so many awesome moments being a mom, if I have to pick just one it would be this: my favorite motherhood moment is when your baby first calls you mamma. It just melts your heart. I felt the same rush of pride each time my three daughters reached this milestone.

These are so cute!

My best motherhood moment was not only when they were born but when I did it all over again when the youngest was 23yrs old

My favorite motherhood moment is when I see my 2 year old trying to play with her little sister who’s 3 months old. Or trying to cuddle her, hug her, kiss her, be just like a mommy to her. It’s so precious to see.

First smile.

My favorite motherhood moment had to be the first time my 9yr old son saw his baby sister. The look on his face was priceless, he was and still is so proud to be a big brother!

Thank you!!

Is it a motherhood moment when your child asks a neighbor to pick up an orange dinosauer for him if she saw one at the store. And she did????

When my son started crawling

When my daughter started talking

At the moment of birth

When my son started talking

This would totally come in handy for my digital scrapbooking and picture taking!

I just posted mine about introducing DJ to his Great Grandma.

Sign me up!

My daughter and I lived with my parents during her toddler years, and she grew accustomed to hearing them refer to me by my first name. When I picked her up from nursery school one day, she grinned widely, jumped up and down, and shouted, “JANE!!!”

I wanted to vanish through the floor … but the teachers were so reassuring … “it’s just a phase.” And it was … but I still remember it to this day.

when you see your child for the first time

My favorite moments as a mommy have been giving birth to my three beautiful baby girls.

Love these! We can’t live without them!

I’m not a mother in the conventional sense, but consider myself one to my two kittens. One was the runt of the litter and we’ve been fighting hard to help her grow into adulthood, despite being told she might not make it.

My favourite moment is when I saw her big eyes for the first time, when she had energy after being sick for so long.

When I first heard, “mommy I love you”

My favorite motherhood moment was when my son said “daddy”.

I had to become a mother to understand the advice: “enjoy every moment, time will fly”. Time has never gone by so fast and motherhood has been one big magical moment. I’ve posted my favorite moment for this week.

My daughter’s first birthday!

One of my favorite motherhood moments was when I was holding my 10 month old son and saying, “This is what I prayed for!! (to have kids)” His very next action was to hit me on the head with the phone he was playing with. How ironic!

I havent offically met my baby yet, (adoption) but i cant wait. I would still like to enter this contest - thanks

Thanks for helping me think about what being a mother means to me and for remembering special moments.

Thank you!!

I had three very special moments, with the birth of the children. Thanks

My son is all grown up, but he will always be my little boy, even though he is bigger and taller than me.

My favorite motherhood moment was when the first time I felt my baby kick from inside my tummy! It was an experience I could not forget in my whole life.

Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

My favorite motherhood moment wa when I was first called Mommy!

Yeah! I hope I win!

My favorite memory is holding my children for the first time.

It has to be the first time I looked into my sons eyes after he was born. I remember crying and saying “I love you….I’ve been waiting so long to meet you little guy.” Then my husband said to me “You’ve never looked more beautiful than you do now”. I’ll never forget that moment.

I love reading these entries!

One of my favorite motherhood moments happened a few weeks ago when my eight-month old daughter was teething. I was rocking her to sleep when she looked up at me and put her tiny hand on my cheek and held it there. I cried, of course…

Finding out my son threw my tampons in the toilet so he could watch them expand

My favorite motherhood moment was when my twin daughters informed me that all their friends wanted to live with us because I was the “coolest mom”. I hugged them & told them I was lucky ’cause I had the “Coolest kids”.

When your son is screaming in pain and he looks at you to take away his boo-boo. All I can do is hold him and pray that I could take away his pain.

my favorite mommy moment would be when i heard my daughters playing and i heard my oldest tell her sister when i grow up i want to be a famous singer, my youngest said , i want to be a just like mommy.

I could use this. Thanks.

Yay, what a sweet giveaway! My post is up!! Thanks girls!!

[…] posting this favorite mommy moment at 5 Minutes for Mom.  Do ya think I can win the memory […]

I’m not sure I can pick a favorite so I will pick one of my first motherhood moments. The day we found out we would be having twins! When the nurse told us we were having twins so many emotions went through me. Emotions that I still feel today when I think back on that moment. Shock, Scared, but so overwhelmingly happy. Full of JOY! I couldn’t even begin to imagine what the next year would be like but the joy of having these two boys in my life has surpassed every expectation.

Reading with my children…there is nothing more special than being cuddled up together reading a good story!

My favorite motherhood moment was watching my children grow up to be wonderful adults and they are happy.I have MS and neither one of them have it.Thank God.Happy Mothers’Day to all you wonderful Mothers.

my favorite moment was seeing my children born.

no comment

wow scan disk

My favorite moment was my daughters first ballet recital. It was priceless.

My favorite moment as a mother was taking my 3 month old daughter to spend the day with my great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and myself — 5 generations of women — on Mother’s Day last year. My great-grandmother is very sick, so it was so moving and special for me to be able to have her and my daughter meet. It was only for a brief moment in time, but it will be forever ingrained in my memory.

count me in!

Best moment, Porsche coming into my life.

NICE

seeing my children born and watching them take their first breathes

Wow, I was just saying to myself I need to get one of these to backup stuff on my laptop. This would be awesome to win the black one! Great Blog website, keep up the great work.

My whole blog is made up of those great mommy moments!!

My moment is when I Had my first Christmas with my kids Their eyes light up with joy

I would love to win.

My favorite motherhood moment was when I realized how much, in small ways, my little boy was like me. He is 9 months old. I walked in his room to check on his one night and found him kicking his legs up and down while he was asleep to make the crib mattress bounce. That is one of the stories my mom has told me for years…how I used to do the same thing. And then a week after that, on a long road trip my son was asleep in his carseat. He suddenly started talking…”da da da da da” and he was still sound asleep. I am also one who talks regularly in my sleep. It was sweet to realize how much he really is like his Mama (especially since he is a mini-me in looks of his Daddy).

There are so many memorable moments as a mother. A sweet one for me is when I drop my youngest off to preschool she makes sure I give her a kiss,an eskimo kiss, butterfly kisses and cheek kisses.

Hugs, Danette

plug me in -

Oh! All the pictures that I could take with a new flash drive!

Every bath was special. My boys loved the water.

My favorite motherhood moment is when my son was a little over a year old and you really had to be there to understand how funny this was but he would laugh in a way that was hilarious. He held his body and head perfectly still so the only thing moving (laughing) was his mouth and once he started laughing he couldn’t stop. Then when we would laugh with him that would make him laugh even harder. I wish I had a video to show you all, he is 20 now but to this day when I think of that laugh it cracks me up. Kristi

This is a great prize for us computer geeks.

Nice prize!!!!

Favorite moment? One is not enough!
All moments
(sad and mad and joyful and filled with laughter and…)
were and are favorites.
I am blessed.

One of my favorite Motherhood Moments happened just recently. My daughter is a high school senior and will be going off to college soon. We recently found out that she has received a full academic scholarship. I’m so proud of her and all she’s acccomplished! Now comes the hard part of having her move away from home.

My favorite motherhood moment without a doubt has to be the day my son was born.

Being with my kids on Mothers Day.

being blessed with the mother that i have

having my mom

This would be great! Thanks!!

I would love to win this great prize!!

There are so many incredible moments of motherhood. When I saw my daughter walk down the isle, so happy and beautiful, it was one that definitely goes on the list.

My favorite motherhood moment changes every day - it’s amazing to watch the physical, verbal and emotional development of a child that I brought into the world!

Please enter me.

Favorite moment- when my son was born and my macho husband started bawling.

My favorite motherhood moment was watching my kids learn to do things on their own the proudness on their faces

I love getting my boys ready for the first day of school each year and having them hold up their fingers to show which grade they are in.

I don’t have a favorite moment, mine are always changing and new ones happening.

My favorite moment is usually the one where I’ve realized my children have matured and are becoming more responsible for themselves and taking charge of their lives.

When I was pregnant and feeling movement for the first time

I’m not a blogger, but I want to share my favorite moment as a mom - I only have one, he’s now 2. I had a rough first year - dealing with the baby blues for a long, long time. I am fully “back” and can say that I truly love being a mom - especially the tender moments with my now talkative little man. He said to me the other day, I lah you (I love you) and that’s the best, and I know he means it

My favorite motherhood moment is coming up. I just know it. I’ll be watching my oldest walk across the stage for high school graduation while holding my youngest, now 5 on my lap, and I’ll have these huge tears streaming down my face as I watch him and think to myself, “Wow! I helped shape THAT!” Then I’ll look at my 3 younger children, realize how little time I have left with #2 who graduates in 3 years, and I know I’ll be more determined than ever before to make the most of the time left with the younger 2 (5 and 10).
Currently, however, my favorite moments are watching my kids when they don’t know I’m watching them. The swelling up with love is what gets me every time. Only a mom……

every moment is precious

When I pick up my son from daycare and he hugs me tight and pats me on the back and says, “My mama.”

We are always losing these.

Please enter me in this contest. Thanks.

My memories of being a mother has been full. I’ve been lucky to always be home most of the time. Between my husband and me we have 10 kids. With 3 still at home. 4 of which is my husbands step-kids from a previous marriage. They still call him dad and me mom. His 2 sons call me mom. It makes me feel good that I can be a mom to my 4 sons and to all my other kids. The moments of them loving me as their mom makes me feel like # one Mom.
Please enter me, thank you

Bringing my newborns home was the most special mommy moment for me. Such a big life change.

Please pick me!

I love my children and grandchildren.
ages 33, 27, 16, 12 are the ages of kids.
Grandkids 12, 07 and a new grandson due Sept 7 I’m the oldest of seven children(my baby sister is only 2 years older then my oldest)
I live 1200 miles from all my family except my 16 and 12 year old. Every moment is a wonderful mommy moment from their birth to their perfect grades ceremony to their having their own childrn. I need to win these so can store all my pictures of family when I go to visit them.
Thank you for such a awesome prize.

The first time my daughter smiled is my favorite moment!!!

MY BEST MOMENT WAS WHEN I HAD MY DAUGHTER 11 YEARS AGO AND BEING ABLE TO WATCH HER GROW UP SHE IS THE
BEST BLESSING THAT I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE I LOVE BEING
A MOTHER THANK YOU HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

My best moment was being with both my mom and my daughter - the cycle of life.

The first time they say Momma

I want TO win

My favorite motherhood moment is the simple hugs and kisses and cards that come when you least expect it!

My favorite moment is that first moment when you are holding your sleeping baby in your arms and all is right in the world.

It’s really too hard to choose one. It has all been so special.

Thanks for the contest, I would love to win this! My special motherhood moment, as a mother of 3, was when my children started talking for the 1st time!

Seeing my children acting responsibly without me telling them to.

Fav moment: holding my baby, feeding her in the middle of the night when everyone else is sleeping. I remember thinking I wish they could all stay just the way we were at that time, forever. (I have three other children too). I just wanted everyone to stay little and innocent and sweet.

My favorite moment was the first time I got a spontaneous kiss from my little guy - just because!

I’m not a mother, but I do have many memories with my mother helping her cook dinner.

This so appeals to me, both as a Mom and a techo-junkie!

the time my two year old son said his first words

loving mom

i hope i win!!!

When there’s peace in the house, and harmony, is my favorite time.

Wow! This would be great!

Cruz me crazy!

Becoming a mom by adopting!

My best mommy moment was when my teenage son sent me an I love you you’re awesome text message out of the blue.

When I held my baby in my arms for the first time!

Nice!

Gosh, with four children of varying ages (from 24 to 7), there are many favorite moments. One of my most precious: My son, who was pretty much nonverbal, having been diagnosed with PDD (in the autistic spectrum), and I were walking down the street to the store. I was quiet, but heavily worried about many things and thinking on those things when my son (who was 4 at the time), piped up, “Mommy, don’t worry .. everything will be O.K.” His statement, coupled with the fact that it was an independent spoken thought, brought me out of my funk and let me know that, yes, everything WOULD be alright. He is now 7 and in a regular classroom without an IEP after his psychiatrist told me that he would never be mainstreamed, so I guess that he was absolutely right.

I linked up and posted my favorite memory on my blog.

count me in on the win

My favorite motherhood moment is when my kids tell me stories about when I was young and they took care of me! It always cracks me up!!!!

my favorite moment was when I first held my daughter

There are so many great moments, but most recently, when we drove by a house with chickens in the yard and my daughter and I started clucking like chickens at the same time. It has given me many chuckles in the days since - I love her sense of humor.

These are so convenient!

my baby smiling at me

Thanks so much for this….I loved to laugh again at this memory of mine!!
