Winners have been announced here!
In case you missed it, Boogie was born just this past weekend on April 26th, 2008 at 8:18PM. Click here to see the post celebrating the arrival of our beautiful baby boy!
Mommy has been a mommy for six days now, and here is what she has to say about her newfound “mommyhood”:
I’m loving mommyhood! I feel refreshed and confident. I’m experiencing changes in my body that I never knew could happen until now. The simple and maybe disgusting things like Boogie pooting and pooping out what resembles Grey Poupon excites me. Let’s me know that our bodies are getting along. I love ALL of his little sounds. I don’t mind his loud cries, I guess it’s a first time parent thing. He makes the cutest high pitched coo (Daddy mentioned it already!) when I bring him to the boobie bar. He gets so excited and starts snorting. I love it!
So, in light of Mommy’s recent official becoming of a mommy, we’re throwing a Mother’s Day giveaway to celebrate the joys of being a mommy with other mommies, new and seasoned, across the blogosphere! We’d like to call it, “Celebration of Mommyhood”!
The Prizes
We have a total of EIGHT gift packages to be won by EIGHT lucky winners! Take a peek at what there is to be won:
ONE winner will receive a PeaceLoveMom Drawstring Cotton Bag, a Baby Gizmo Buying Guide, a Dream With Me Tonight Volume 2 CD, and a 3-Way Life Pad!
ONE winner will receive a Peppermint Pattie Pedi kit!
ONE winner will receive a momAgenda Desktop (lime), an Adult Classic Seaband (malibu stripe), and a Toddler Classic Seaband (pink doggy paw)!
ONE winner will receive a momAgenda Desktop (lime) and an Onni Red Crown Handbag!
FOUR winners will receive a Steeping Cup with Meditative Mind Tea, and a 3-Way Life Pad!
And we’re also going to throw in a surprise “goodie” in every package! If you’d like a specific gift package, please specify which one you’d like in the comments. Otherwise, a gift package will be chosen at random if you win. We hope that we can make this Mother’s Day a little bit more special for eight mommies out there enjoying mommyhood!
Stay tuned, as more prizes may be added!
How To Enter
There are three ways you can enter this giveaway, and everyone is eligible! You don’t have to own a blog to enter! If you’d like to be included in this giveaway, here’s how:
1. Post a comment explaining what mommyhood means to you. If you’re a daddy, or even if you don’t have any children, explain what mommyhood means to you from your perspective. (Only one comment per person, please!)
2. Blog about this giveaway. We’d love to be able to reach as many mommies as we can so that we can possibly make this Mother’s Day special for them this year. With your help by blogging about this giveaway, we know that the possibilities are endless!
3. Place our giveaway button on your blog. Please let us know in the comments if you’ve placed a button on your blog so that we can count that as an entry in your name. Whether you decide to place a button on your sidebar or include it in a post, both are acceptable ways to be included. Anywhere on your blog is fine! Here is the giveaway button:
You can enter by just one method, two, or even all three methods. It’s up to you! Each method of entry is worth one entry in this giveaway, for a maximum of three possible entries. This giveaway will end at 5:00PM CST on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 11th, 2008, of which comments will be closed at that time. Winners will be chosen and announced here on Mommy Daddy Blog later on that night.
Good luck, and Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who is enjoying the blessing that is mommyhood!

Thanks!

Mommyhood is unconditional love. I love to see my 8 month olds face when I walk into a room. It just lights up…and makes me feel like a million bucks!
I’d added the button on my blog! Thanks for this great giveaway!

Motherhood to me is always putting others first but its worth it.
I like all the prizes.

Ok, what does mommyhood mean to me? Sometimes it is so hard to put into words. It definitely is the hardest job in the world but also the most rewarding. Mommyhood is unconditional love. When I became a mom I learned what really is important. Family. My kids come first and I love experiencing life through their eyes. Everything is so simple and beautiful. I think all the prizes are nice and would not mind winning any one of them.
1stopmom’s last blog post..Happy Birthday!!!!!
I am so happy for you both. I know what joy it was when I had my little bundles (who are now 28 & 29 years old) — You have a lot of wonderful days ahead. God Bless you all!!
Mommyhood means everything to me! There is nothing more important in my life than being a mom to my 2 little guys!
Motherhood teaches you unconditional love, patience, unselfishness, and wisdom.
I posted about your giveaway along with you blog button on one post http://welcometothemotherhood.blogspot.com/2008/05/celebration-of-mommyhood-mothers-day.html
- thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
Lesha’s last blog post..Celebration of Mommyhood Mother’s Day Giveaway
Mommyhood means to me, my life. Without my children and without being a mom, I don’t know what my life would be like, I wouldn’t give up my mommyhood for anything in the world. It brings me daily joy, ups and downs and happiness that I wouldn’t trade for the world!

Gina’s last blog post..My Husband ROCKS!
Congratulations again! Mommyhood to me means being totally exhausted from lack of sleep, watching the same movie 500 times everyday, being followed into the bathroom everytime I need to go, and loving every minute of it. I also have a boobie bar snorter and it’s the sweetest thing! I look forward to watching you little boy grow through reading your blog.
Mommyhood is a new stage of life that causes a major realization and shift in attitude, sleeping patterns and premommy activities due to the 1st priority of providing and taking 100% care of a new little being.
Hi Mommy Daddy
I’ve corrected the links. Thanks!
bunny’s last blog post..Great Stuff on UpstartBlogger
Mommyhood means love, laughter and tears and pouts. All rolled into the cutest little package I have ever seen! (of course, I’m biased!)
Mommyhood means happiness. I never knew how much a tiny little baby could make me so happy and love so much. When she was first born and I’d sit there holding her, the first time we ever made complete eye contact was the best feeling in the world. Now, I don’t know if it was the hormones or all the love I felt but I cried like a baby!! haha
Great give away! Going to post your button and blog right now.

Being a mother is my life! Every decision I make, I weigh the effects that;s it will have on my son and then move forward. My decision to work full-time and go to school full-time is all for my big brown eyed lil’ dude. He’s my heart. Being Jay’s mommy is everything to me.
Jessica’s last blog post..babbles: hair, summer & giveaway
Mommyhood to me means total love
Mommyhood means knowing you’re NOT your children’s friend…instead, you are far and away much more special and important. You’re there to guide your children even if it means denying them their wants and making them unhappy….you’re there to help them become the best possible person they can be.
Enjoy,
Barbara

I’m not a mommy (yet), but to me motherhood is nurturing. Unconditional love I got from both parents, but mom was the one who stayed up all night when I was sick.
To me, mommyhood means mostly repetitive work with brief moments of pure joy that make it all worth it.
Mommyhood means staying sane and energized so we can just have fun!! I would love the momagenda or the steepware!! IT would help me stay organised!!
Blogged and buttoned on my blog. Great giveaway!!!

Motherhood means lots hugs, giggles and a few tears and as a mom you enjoy all of it because they are your precious babies.
Noreen’s last blog post..Animal(s) nesting in our BBQ Grill (updated)
Being a parent is a constant gig. There is no “time off”, there is no quitting or giving up.
I have learned that time changes us, AND our children.
It’s not a power game.
Learn to adapt, and change plans within seconds.
It means you will experience your greatest heartache and tears of joy.
It means that you do things you SWORE you never would, and don’t feel the need to explain it.
It means that when I go to bed at night and my kids are all tucked in, I feel blessed and hopeful for the future.
Even when my teenager is having issues and I worry about the next day…
It’s all worth it. No matter what pain you are going through!
Thank you for this giveaway!
I’d love any of the packages… I like surprises

Great contest! To me, motherhood means caring for a life that depends on you and raising this life to be a productive member of our society. It’s a big responsibility, huh?
I blogged about your contest at http://modernmami.theparentblog.com/2008/05/08/another-mothers-day-giveaway/ and included your button in the post.
Modern Mami’s last blog post..Another Mother’s Day Giveaway
Mommyhood means to me that your life is no longer yours. You now live for that small child (in my case 5). You are now not only a mother, but a teacher, and a friend, 24-7. With a new child comes the greatest gift of all-love.
My hubby and I are also H.S sweeties. Since we were 15. Congrats on the new beautiful baby, And when he is 4 remember he is no longer beautiful, but now handsome!!!
If I win, could I please receive the momAgenda Desktop (lime) and an Onni Red Crown Handbag!
Thank you!
Motherhood is loving your children and always being there for them, and of course, teaching them right from wrong. Motherhood is not a job…it’s a life.
So I also posted your giveaway button on my new blog

great contests and I have the button in the post as well.
Motherhood is simply a great experience the moment I held my baby after labour… I feel like crying. Then the moment nurse took him I away I scream in pain. No joking.. can feel the stich..
T.H’s last blog post..Mother’s day giveaway
Hey guys!! What a great giveaway!!
I blogged about it and put the button in my side bar and now it’s time to leave my comment!
Motherhood means going through a night like I did last night with my 18 month old who just didn’t want to go to sleep and not loosing my mind because of it. It’s means being present in every moment when I’m dealing with them, collectively and individually. Giving up my internet time or whatever else that I want to do to do what I have to do with them, sacrifice. And, most importantly demonstrating my respect and appreciation for their Father, the other part of the equation.

I love being a mom because I get to be a teacher, artist, seamstress, nurse, librarian, chef, social worker and so much more!! All my dream jobs rolled into one!!
Beth’s last blog post..It’s not all in my head
Motherhood is the privilege of being entrusted with a child and doing my very best to raise them to be a positive, happy, healthy and contributing member of society. It’s a blessing to be a mother and I never, ever take it for granted. It means more to me than anything else.

Mommyhood to me is:
being the one to hold your little one in the early morning darkness when they don’t feel well
being the one who swells with pride when your child is dressed sweetly and people compliment them
actually feeling warm fuzzies when your child says they wish they had “pokey-dots” (acne) on their face, so they could be JUST LIKE YOU.
I will always and forever be a mom to my two boys!
