  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool
  • A Chair for My Mother
    A Chair for My Mother
    A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Meet Me in the Laundry Room Contest

Voting begins NOW!

Please email me your top 10. I will not count votes for one picture because this is not a popularity contest so you need to look at all the pictures (can you tell I'm the boss at my house? Well, except for the Big Man :)

I don't have the time to link to the original posts with the larger versions and what they wrote. #14 sent two pictures which were equally funny, so I picked the one I thought would resonate most with mommies. To see the originals or to find out where mommy bloggers are blogging, click on archives and scroll down through March.

Voting ends at 11:59 3/20. Winners announced 3/21 and books will be sent the minute I get their addresses.

Spread the word for maximum voting. The more the merrier!

And without further ado, the entries in the Meet Me in the Laundry Room Contest:

And kudos to Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer, whose spontaneous posting of her own picture got the creative ball rolling:

Don't vote for Shannon because she already got a copy of Lord, Please Meet Me in the Laundry Room.

Hooray for Mommies!
