It’s almost the end of the year and amidst all the birthdays (Harlow turned two, I turned *cough cough* and Mazzy will be five next week!) and holiday celebrating, Mommy Shorts contests are ending left and right.
The Munchkin Selfie contest is over and to commemorate the thousands of babies, toddlers and kids taking both accidental and intentional selfies in the hashtag, I put together a flipagram set to club music. If you are anything like me, you will watch it at least ten times in a row and then come back to watch it again later.
Please watch with the sound on!
Thanks to everyone for submitting their selfies and Munchkin for the fabulous prizes! The 14 winners are @wendymelissaa @mayginmollie @elsinlb@unraveledemotions @amberbrink @jen14483@lorihloben @brina_harwood @themessthatisjess@kindertype @mriley919 @terisamanthaaa @jmargos. The day you won should appear under your winning photo on Instagram. You can view all the Munchkin prizes here.
It was fun reading all your comments about your kids’ favorite foods, songs and books under the Sticky Bellies Birthday Poster giveaway.
Apparently, I need to broaden my girls’ exposure to pop music. Everyone at kindergarten is going to be singing “All About that Bass” and Mazzy is going to bust out with her rendition of “BINGO was his Name-O”. Poor kid.
The winners are Emily (whose daughter Katie loves milkshakes), Jessica (whose daughter Kendall loves to read “There’s a Wocket in my Pocket”) and Ashleigh (whose daughter Nora’s favorite song is Let It Go sung at the top of her lungs at the grocery store). Congrats! If you’d like to purchase “The Birthday Poster” for yourself, you can do so here.
Harlow was hugely thankful for all the birthday wishes from random toddlers entering the Little Miss Birthday Party in a Box contest.
“Who are all these strange kids wishing me Happy Birthday, Mama? This is kind of creepy.”
“Don’t worry about it Harlow. Just enjoy the good cheer!”
The winner is Kasie and her daughter Charlie Mae, who will receive her Birthday Party in a Box just in time for her second birthday this January. Yay! If you’d like to purchase your own Little Miss Party in a Box, you can do so here.
The Mom Skillz winners were announced yesterday, including Jessica and her daughter Sophia who won the grand prize. Read all about the winning entries here.
I don’t know why everyone who won has a daughter. That is either a coincidence or because nobody with sons has any reason to read my blog anymore. I hope it’s the former.
Please contact abby@mommyshorts.com to claim your prizes.
Here’s a short list of the contests you can still enter:

One more thing.
A couple weeks ago, Chex sent a dozen cupcakes to my office for both me and Harlow’s birthdays. How they knew November was our birthday month I have no idea.
I brought home the cupcakes and had the box sitting open on the kitchen counter. Mazzy is in the early stages of reading and I overheard her trying to sound everything out. I came over and helped her decipher each word, which all made perfect sense until we got to “Love, Chex”.
“Who’s Chex?” Mazzy asked.
“Ummmm…. that’s a cereal that’s friends with Mommy.”
Mom Blogging is weird.
Happy Sunday!

Don’t worry, I am a mom to a son and I haven’t stop reading your blog since I discovered it over 1.5 years ago. It’s just that I couldn’t think of anything to enter the contests when I first reads it. Always meant to go back to it later, but life is always busy with a toddler that I forgotten all about the different contests
Hmm, I just realized that the rest of my words got cut off. Was it because I used an iPad esmile that is not supported and the rest of my words were cut off or is there a character restrictions? I wrote: oh well, congrats to all the mom who won and happy holiday!
very intersting post,love the photoes…
I’m a mom to two sons and I love reading your blog! Just can’t enter most contests since I live in Germany 🙂
I’m a mom of a son and I love reading mommy shorts! I entered the birthday contest (Well Logan did for my haha) but that’s the last one since we’re heading off to Japan for 3 years on Monday. So sad we can’t enter anymore but I will still be reading religiously!
