Every two weeks or so, MommaSaid awards one lucky mom for her daily duties as a mom.
The Housewife Awards recognize moms for the relentless, exhausting, incredible
and often amusing things they experience - and endure - daily.
OUR NEXT PRIZE

Enter The Housewife Award® contest by July 6th for your chance to win You've Been Sentenced
an award-winning, hilarious word game that's perfect for Family Game Night,

ENTER NOW
Please read this before you enter!
What are we looking for? We're not looking for Mother of the Year.
We're looking for a funny story or situation that sums up the occasional
craziness of at-home motherhood. We want to hear what you put up with on a
day-to-day basis, not that you're coming up with the cure for cancer while the
baby naps (though I would appreciate it).
PLEASE BE SPECIFIC. Don't tell us you cart four kids around in your
mini-van, clean floors and volunteer at school while taking night classes.
We're all doing that! Tell us a story of something that happened to you that
shows how exhausting and confounding motherhood can be. Humor is a plus. Poop is fine, but really not necessary every single time.
Check
out the awards archives for examples.
ENTER NOW! (Yes, you may nominate someone else.)
Note: Unclaimed prizes will no longer be available after 90 days from contact from MommaSaid.net

OUR LATEST WINNER
Vicki Vaught of Lafayette, Indiana
Vicki is off pulling fishermen out of trees.
Vicki is our latest Housewife Award™ winner for her Hooked on Maples moment.
Vicki went outside to check on her kids, who were playing in the front yard. It had gotten quiet -- too quiet -- and, Vicki says,
"with my two kids, that it's probably a good idea to go see what's going on."
Outside, she found her daughter looking up a tree in the front yard.
So, Vicki wandered over to her daughter to see what she was so interested in up the tree.
That's when Vicki discovered her son, up the tree, on a ladder, with a fishing pole. And yet, their property doesn't border the ocean, a lake or even a pond.
Vicki took a deep breath, and asked her son why he was up the tree with a fishing pole.
"I'm trying to get the fishing lure out of the tree," he replied, nonchalantly.
Apparently, he'd gone fishing in a yard wihtout water and caught a tree. Vicki says, "I didn't ask about the one that got away."
You're a good mom, Vicki. You won a copy of
Dawn Meehan's
Because I Said So,
plus a Housewife Award® certificate for the fridge.
