Thank you to everyone who participated in the Momfinitions contest sponsored by ParentsConnect.com. Everyone's Momfinitions were hilarious!

CONTEST DETAILS:
Ever notice how motherhood inspires a whole new language? Perhaps you recognize a few of these new parenting terms that haven't quite made it into Webster's:

Sleevekerchief [sleev-KUR-cheef] noun: What you use to catch your kid's snot when you're out of tissues.

Diapergami [dahy-per-GAWM-ee] noun: That secret parenting fold that turns a nasty diaper into a tidy package ready for the trash.

Keything Ring [kee-THEENG-reeng] noun: What your keychain becomes in a teething pain emergency at the grocery store.

Sound familiar? Every mom has their own set of momfinitions and ParentsConnect and Twittermoms want to know yours in our Momfinitions contest!

How It Works:

To participate, write a post on your own blog with your Funniest Five Momfinitions! Describe the meaning of the words, use them in a sentence (just like a spelling bee!), and how they apply in your everyday life. Your blog post should include at least one link to the Momfinitions article on ParentsConnect.com. (You can link directly to the Momfinitions article found here: http://www.parentsconnect.com/articles/mom-definitions.jhtml). Feel free to upload photos or videos to better describe your Momfinitions.
Then return to this discussion page, post a comment below summarizing your blog post, and include an active link to your qualifying blog entry. The deadline to enter is July 22, 2009. Winners will be contacted the week of July 27.

And now for the prizing...WOO HOO!
- The first 20 bloggers to enter the contest receive $50 cash. Nice!
- The blogger who gets the most comments on their blog post will receive $100 cash. Even better!
- The funniest blog post judged by the experts at Parentconnect.com will win $200 cash. Go for it!!!

So go ahead: dream up and write definitions for your Five Funniest Momfinitions. Pretty soon we'll have a whole Momfinition Dictionary!

I should say that parenthood really squeezes the creativity out of your brain. Thank god for that, it makes parenting so much fun!
My list includes words that I use to describe things "in a loving way" and substitute words whenever some words are not suitable for the kid's ears...; ▶ Reply to This
