Six-Word MOMoirs Contest!

Want to win a copy of our book, Love, Mom: Poignant, Goofy, Brilliant Messages from Home?

Whether you are a mother or just have one, everyone has a six-word mom story to tell—a “Six-Word MOMoir.” We’ve teamed up with SMITH Mag and TruuMomConfessions for a six-word mom challenge. We’ll choose our favorite six six-word stories about being a mother or your relationship with your own mom. Each winner will get a book of their choice from one of the above sites, or a T-shirt with his or her MOMoir from Spreadshirt.

To enter the contest, visit SMITH Mag’s Six-Word MOMoirs page. And good luck!


$100 Question: Tell BlogHer About Your Embarrassing Momma Moment

The lovely folks at BlogHer are running a contest today in conjunction with Postcards From Yo Momma that could win YOU $100! All you have to do is click here and answer the question: What story makes you want to muzzle your mom? Then in the comments of that BlogHer post, share the most embarrassing story that your mom tells about you. One commenter will be chosen to win the $100 prize.

The story that Jessica’s mom can’t resist telling strangers goes back to when Jess was a wee tyke. She was asked by a grown-up how many children she might want to have some day, and Jess replied, “I want three children. One of each.” We can only speculate that Jess meant that she wants a boy, a girl, and a puppy. We’re looking forward to reading all your silly responses to the question and choosing the most embarrassing one! Here’s that link again: Which Story Makes You Want to Muzzle Your Mom?

Write a Six-Word MOMoir and Win Our Book!

lovemom_hc-sm4If you’re familiar with SMITH Mag‘s six-word memoir books Not Quite What I Was Planning and Six-Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak, then you probably know that last Mother’s Day, moms around the world shared six-word memoirs like “Mommy’s boobies no longer Daddy’s boobies,” “Suffered miscarriage. Daughter offered her doll,” and “Can I pee in private, please?”

This year, Postcards From Yo Momma is teaming up with SMITH Mag and truuconfessions for a new six-word challenge about all things Mom. We’ll be awarding the prize for the best six-word story about your relationship with your own mother. Truuconfessions, which just released the book True Mom Confessions: Real Moms Get Real, will choose the best six-word story about parenting.  Both winners will get signed copies of True Mom Confessions, plus our new book Love, Mom: Poignant, Goofy, Brilliant Messages from Home and a six-word memoir book, plus artistic validation and Internet fame. Three runners-up will win one book of their choice. Contest ends May 10…Mother’s Day. Go to the Six-Word MOMoir project and enter!



Love, Mom
