I have never in my life entered a writing contest, but I saw this and thought, hmmm...this is exactly the subject of my whole entire life right now! : ) I am a homeschooling mommy to soon-to-be five (once our two adopted babies from Africa are home) and I never, EVER imagined that this would be my life. I love it, though, and am so grateful for all of God's blessings! Wish me luck as I brush up on my grammar (I tend to write more informally and follow my own rules) and submit an entry. Thanks for sharing this! I never imagined I'd...submit an essay in a writing contest! My AP English teacher would have been proud! : )
