Two announcements to make today!

One, we had an amazing panel of people help pick our Seattle/surrounding area mom.  Her family has been contacted, and I’m so excited to spend time with her this weekend!  We will share all those details soon!  Thank you so much to every woman that submitted.  I tell Brian all the time that I’m so glad I don’t have to make the decision because I never could.  All of your stories were so wonderful to read.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I will get to meet each of you somehow sooner than later.

Second announcement!

The submissions to be a part of my second book with Random House are coming in strong!  They are DIVERSE, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING…seriously, I’m on a inspirational roller coaster just seeing all your different expressions of creativity with the camera!

This classic face is from Nickie in Alaska!  Thank you Nickie!  I LOVE it!

You’ve got ONE week left from today to get your photos submitted! This is your chance to get your work published with me and Random House!  Don’t be afraid, just go for it!

What am I still looking for?
