The Egg Beaters’ Mother’s Day Photo Contest

Mother's Day 2008 - Giveaway Event

We have a winner.

We received over 5000 votes, and the people have spoken.

The winner of $1000 in the Egg Beaters’ Mother’s Day photo contest is

Overstuffed with Polka Dots

Lara explained why she entered this picture:

I bought these new shoes recently (aren’t they cute?), and Sophia has completely taken them over. She seriously won’t let me wear them. If I want to wear them she freaks out and puts them on herself. If I manage to get them on my feet without her knowledge and she sees me with them on, she physically tries to get them off of me. Even though I keep them in their shoebox in my closet, she knows which one it is and wears them all the time. I’m pretty sure she’s worn them way more often than I have in the short time I’ve owned them.

I love this picture because it just reminds me how much my children look to me as their example. Sophie sees me look in this mirror every day as I get ready. She sees me wear jewelry. She sees me wear stylin’ shoes. She wants to be like her mommy in everything she does. She’s always watching me and often copying the things I do.

Just makes me realize I need to make sure that everything I do is copy worthy, because that is how I teach my children the most: not with my words, but with my actions.

Thank you all for sharing what Motherhood means to you.

And last but not least, we want to thank Egg Beaters and their delicious new Egg Beaters with Yolk for sponsoring this contest with an unbelievable $1000.00 prize!

    Congrats Lara, I’m SO happy for you. I honestly don’t know anyone who deserves it more. I’m proud to know you and now there is so much more that could go into a scrap page for this beautiful photo. And by the way, you are copy worthy, and don’t you ever forget it!

    Wow, I love what Lara said about that photo. I of course LOVE the photo, but reading that makes it even so much better!!!

    There were so many amazing photos in that finalist list that I love looking at them all over and over. I think the collection of the photos all together creates a beautiful image of motherhood.

    Congratulations Lara on a truly wonderful photo and I hope you have fun splurging on yourself with your $1000 prize!
