Vote NOW and you can decide who wins!
Today is the first day of our Mother’s Day Giveaway and we are kicking it off with an incredible Mother’s Day gift of $1,000 thanks to Egg Beaters.
Yes – you read that correctly – the prize is $1,000, awarded via an American Express gift card, to spend however you want – go shopping, take a trip, do whatever you want! It is all yours. Now, that is one fabulous Mother’s Day gift!!!
Before we get into the details of how you can win all that cash, can I just gush a bit about Egg Beaters newest variety and why I am so excited about it (besides the fact that they are giving one of you a thousand bucks!)
My husband loves eggs -and I mean – he.really.loves.eggs. He eats them almost every day, no matter how often I try to tell him that I think he going a little overboard in the cholesterol dept.
When I told him that Egg Beaters now has a new version that is made from real eggs, but also has a touch of yolk to satisfy his eternal full-fat-yolk-cravings, he said, (and I quote,) “It has yolk in it? I am all over that!”
So, now he can eat his eggs and I can relax that, with 70% less fat and 75% less cholesterol than shell eggs, he is not killing himself. Thanks Egg Beaters – I appreciate that!
NOW, back to the money…
To make this contest as special as the prize, we decided to make it a Mother’s Day Photo Contest. As you may have noticed, I love photography. So I thought it would be perfect for 5 Minutes for Mom to hold a photo contest. Not only will I be thrilled to get a chance to see all of your motherhood-inspired photos, but you all can get in on the fun and go see some of the other photo entries yourself.
This is how it will work:
For the next week, we will accept entries. We are looking for photos that tell some sort of story of what motherhood means to you. They could be shots of you with your kids, your kids, you own mother, whatever you want.
Here is a shot that is “Motherhood” to me. This is my Mom, Joan, when she was little. My mom is my hero. She loves and lives sacrificially for her children and grandchildren. I am the mother I am because of who she is.
I love looking at photos of my mother and grandmother. We mothers were all once babies ourselves, vulnerable and needing to be mothered and loved. I also love that Susan and my kids, especially Susan’s daughter Julia, bear a lot of resemblance to “little Joan.”
If you are a blogger, post your photo on your site and then come back here and add your link to the Mr. Linky. (In your post on your blog, you can explain that it is a part of this contest, link back here and, if you want, tell us a bit about your motherhood-inspired picture. Explaining your photo is totally optional. If it adds to it, write about it. If you would rather let the picture do all the talking, that is great too.)
If you are not a blogger – you can still play!!! Just email us your photo, with the subject line Photo Contest, to 5minutesformom @ gmail dot com. (Please add your image into the copy of the email so that we do not have to open attachments.)
If you are selected as a finalist, feel free to announce it on your blog, facebook, twitter, etc and get your friends to vote for you. That is fair game.
Voting will close May 9th at 9:00pm EST. We will announce the winner on Mothers Day May 11th.
Both Americans and Canadians are welcome to join this contest.

I would LOVE this prize. You can’t even begin to imagine what this would do for my family right now. Mother’s Day is going to be a day of celebration and sorrow all in one. My grandmother will most likely not live threw the week. I am meet with a surgeon on Wed. and I can only hope and pray that we can/do rule out breast cancer. This 33 yr old mommy is not ready to face this trial. My world has been rocked to its core in the last few hours.
So…when I came across this I couldn’t help but think…what a blessing in our life when things are such a trial.
🙂 Love in Him.

Ok. Please remove #s 366 and 369. It keeps putting invalid links up and I swear I did it right the second time! That’s what I get for having a three year kicking at me! I am not at # 370 and I think it is finally right!!

Anne says
I entered this photo, not because it is professional quality, or because it has perfect composition, but becasue it captues the moment when my son was first handed to me. The guy behind the camera, of course, was the doting daddy. The haiku that accompanies it was written on the pseudo-anniversary (Easter Eve, so the date is not exact) of going into labor.
HeadGaggler says

Money4Mom says
Hey Moms … We had our fifth child back last year, and I was looking for flexible ways to make some extra money while she stayed home with kids. As we turned to the internet, and started researching different ideas, she continually ran into scam and spam at every turn. As I became more involved, we realized there were money making opportunities, they just need to be uncovered and understood. While much of this has been trial and error, we started to discover what was successful and what wasn’t. At this point, it was time to document some ideas and successes, and hopefully get some feedback and suggestion from other entrepreneurs. Of course, part of this blog in itself is not only to share ideas, but hopefully gather a viewer and referral base, to have more opportunities for everyone to be successful.
Cheers.

Jennifer Resemius says
What a great contest. I think it’s a very beautiful way to honor the mother’s out there.
oh amanda says
I love that picture of your mom! I’ve got an old one up, too!
Sarah Doyle says
I’m hoping this will put my “motherhood” picture online. Trying to potty train 4 toddlers at one time can be party time, potty time or hair pulling time.
Sarah Doyle says
5 minutes for mom would be something like a vacation for my daughter who has 2 1/2 year old quadruplets (2 boys/2 girls) AND an older son who is 3 1/2. What represents motherhood to me is to have little grandchildren to help with. We are trying to potty train the quads and my picture shows how we’re doing on that project.
Lisa says
This is a really great contest! I love seeing the different ways in which motherhood inspires us!

I am really excited about the contest! I entered one of my favorite pictures of my daughter. She has such a gentle spirit, and a genuine love of animals. It’s reflected in the picture I call “Sunshine”. I can’t wait to see all the pictures everyone enters! A BIG WAVE to Fashion Paramedic for posting about the contest on her blog! Thanks Fashion!
Smellyann says

Julie says
I used my picture for the centerpiece of my writing for today. This picture for me of my kids is a pause during the middle of the eye of a mental hurricane. It’s one I’ll never forget.
Thanks Janice, Susan and Egg Beaters!

Mildred PErez says
I could really use this money.
Tessa says
Ok so for who ever wins here is the site you should go through to spend that money: http://www.nonprofitshoppingmall.com. Through this site you first choose a charity group you would like to support then you “shop the mall” (tons of your favorite stores). A percent of your sale goes straight to nonprofit you chose. Such an easy way to give, cause all you have to do is SHOP!!!!

Could you delete the first Mozi Esme entry? I accidentally linked it to my general blog page instead of the photo post.
And I am a US resident part of the year, so hope I still qualify . . .

This is a great contest. I feel bad for the person that has to narrow down the choices to 15! I love being a mom and I love seeing the joy that other moms have as well! Thanks for the great contest!

Great idea for a giveaway!
You are linked on my blog – The 2nd picture is really the one I wanted to enter.
Thanks!

Wait, we can only submit one photo? Drat, I have 3 that all mean different things to me…
Can I at least put them all in my post?
Jen says
I can’t believe I will be celebrating my first Mother’s Day as a mom this year! I love my baby girl so much it makes me realize the love my mom feels for me and her mom as well. My picture reminds me of the circle of life. Our lives continue with each generation.
Jen says
Great giveaway, I’m so excited to be a part of it!
Frances says
I love old pictures. I have so many of my family that I can wait until I can get them all scanned in.
Great contest – I couldn’t pick just one picture. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to really honor the women who made me who I am. 🙂

What an awesome contest and a fabulous way to give tribute to MOM’s everywhere.
My photos which I want to enter have already been scrapbooked onto a 12 x 12 layout. I hope that it will still count in your photo contest.
You can see it here:

I added mine:) It was hard to choose between my mother and my grandmother, simply because I know my mom is the woman she is today because of her mom. I have 2 heros.
