Had one of those moments? As a mother of a 9, 8, 4, 2, and 1 year old, I feel your pain. My goal is to create, with my sisters in motherhood, a gift quality book that can be given to any mom to help her realize she’s not alone. We’re all constantly laughing at our situations, but often have no other adult to share our stories with or the time to reflect on the events of any given day.

Re-live your funniest mom misadventure in descriptive and emotional words . As in, been there, felt that crazy!. Stories should be between 400 and 1500 words in length. All stories must be true, but also hard to believe!
Misadventures of Moms is published by Moms In Print. The anthology is non-paying for contributors; but $1.00 of each sale from the first edition is being donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to fight breast cancer. The same donation is planned to be made for second edition sales.
Deadline for second edition submissions: May 30th, 2004
