YMBlogs ~ young mommies' voices!

Our summertime days have just flown on by and I have enjoyed seeing all the wonderful blog posts that have been added here to the YM Blogs. It is so fabulous to have so many different mommies contributing and adding their voices – we get to hear such a great cross-section of young moms, who have lots in common but also lots that is different from each other.

Our YM Blog Contest wraps up today and I’m just thrilled to be announcing our two winners today, so I’ll get right to that now! 😉

Our runner-up prize, selected based on the young mom who posted the *most* (in blog posts and comments combined) is… Kayla! she is a young mommy of 2 from Atlantic Canada. Kayla, I can’t wait to send you the Summer Fun Pack I put together as a prize – I’m sure you and your two munchkins can still get some enjoyment out of it for the rest of our warmer days.

Every comment and blog post was also one entry that counted towards the *random*draw for the big prize, so in total we had 29 entries! The number that was randomly generated for us was #2, so in my list that I had made of blog posts and comments, that number points right at our 2nd blog post… hmmm, who was that who posted the 2nd blog post??

So the winner of our book giveaway – who will get a brand new copy of What to Expect When You’re Expecting is…

… Alexis! she is a young single mom in Boston MA, USA and has posted 3 great blog entries here as well as comments, so those all counted as chances to win! Great job, Alexis and I’ll send out your book as soon as I can! 🙂

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to the YM Blogs and especially those of you that became new bloggers – Carla, Taylor, Alexis, and Kayla. How did you gals enjoy blogging? Do you think you’ll keep on being “mommy bloggers”? I hope we will get to hear lots more from you in the future!

Thanks to anyone and everyone who stopped by to read the blogs as well – please come on by again soon to hear what all of our young moms have to say… the group of women here on the site contains some of the smartest and most dedicated parents I have ever met in my life, so I know that anyone can learn a lot from the teen and young moms that are a part of Young Mommies.
