1. Everyone tells me how patient and understanding I am with my 2 grown children. They are both in the autistic spectrum with seizure disorders. Although my daughter may be able to live on her own someday, my son will be with us forever. Some days, I don't see the patience other refer to, but we have made wonderful strides. They have both graduated from high school, and people comment on their good manners, so I must have done something right!
2. Black, XL

1.That's a hard one. All I want to do is try my best. I had all these ideas as to what motherhood would be like, but when my turn came nothing could prepare me. For the hard moments and the unconditional, powerful love I feel for my little guy. So, I guess I didn't really answer the question, but I feel like I am in the process offiguring out my "mama uniqueness".
2.Would love a black T in XL please.

1. I'm a new mommy-at least that's how I feel, but I think I'm unique because I want to educate my daughter in way that gives her the foundation to think for herself. I hope to raise a very independent thinker and hopefully the ground work me and my husband are laying down now will stick with her!

2. Black, XXL!

I am creating a "green" environment for my children to grow up in. Also teaching them to respect all people in addition to our environment, regardless of color or personal beliefs. We all live on the same planet and must take care of it as such.

I already have this T (so I'm not entering the contest) but I want to say that whenever I wear it, I get soooooooooo many great comments and smiles from people! It's an awesome shirt!

Also, as a stay-at-home mom to 3 beautiful little boys, I like to say that my "contribution to society" is to raise up 3 good men (like their Daddy...and Tom, of course - LOL!). The world needs more good men!

Thanks Christine. We couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for the kind words.

I am not unique - most mothers do their very best and even when the best is not quite enough, they did their best. My two are wonderful adults now, wonderful spouses and wonderful parents. Black, size L, please

Terri Fisher said...

What an awesome t-shirt to celebrate all that Moms do...here are my thoughts:

1. When my husband and I got married, we never thought that getting pregnant would be an issue for us...but it was. We wanted to adopt regardless, so when we were presented with biological brothers, we were terrified and thrilled all at the same time. Two years and countless court dates later (another story!) we were the parents of a 6 year old and an 8 year old. Then, as God would have it, we got pregnant...twice! I now am the busy mom of four boys, ages 13, 10, 3, and 6 months...I face unique circumstances daily as I deal with first girlfriend and first teeth all at the same time! But I wouldn't trade it for anything!

2. I would want an XXL in Black.

I have had quite a challenge being a mom. My kid's father and I split up when the kids were young and ended up living on opposite sides of the country. With the help of the computer, telephone, and lots of airline tickets, things worked out okay. They are now wonderful loving adults with great futures and a mom who loves them dearly!

joannaonthelake said...

It hard to say why I am unique because that implies I think I am great, which for me I have a hard time complimenting myself. But I do now my 3 children, all under the age of 10 are very well behaved and have great dispositions, so I must be doing something right! I think my creative nature makes my mothering unique. There are always 3-4 different art projects going on around the house at one time. This can mean anything from painting to decoupage! I always involve the 2 oldest in those projects, my youngest is only 4 months old! I think bring art into a child's life at a young age makes me somewhat unique. I don't know. I would like a Black teeshirt in size Small. This is a very nice giveaway! It made me think a little bit about myself!

joannaonthelake said...

Oops, forgot to add, Yes I do want your newsletter! Thank you!

1. I'm hoping to win this tee for my mom, so I'll describe her. My mom is the best. She's caring, patient, even-tempered, understanding, and super loving. She raised two kids and never complained. She never wanted anything for herself and was always there for us when we needed her. She spent her career working as a special ed teacher and retired two years ago. She is the best mom I could ever ask for and I'd love to win this gift for her.

Happy Sunday! I have been at home with both of my teenage sons since they were born. I saw their first footsteps, heard their first words,
and I was there for almost every school party and assisting in the classroom. Many of other moms laughingly called me the "Martha Stewart" of classroom parties! Now that they are grown, several people tell me how bless I am to have sons that have never been in trouble. They are athletic and very body health conscious. I hope they continue the way they are and continue to grow into wonderful human beings! Please enter me in your drawing. I would love to win a size xl in the natural color. Many thanks,Cindi

What makes me unique? I have two sons over 18 and one young daughter. I raised my children the way my mom raised me, to think for myself. My mom never told me I couldn't watch horror movies or read scary books and I've raised my children the same way. We're all horror movie junkies now.

1. What makes you the unique mom that you are?

I'm a mom to five-year-old twins which is pretty special in and of itself, but I like to think that I have the ability to talk to them on their level and encourage them to really share their feelings. My kids come to me at all times and tell me what's on their minds. Now, if I can just get them to do this through their teenage years, I'll really have something to brag about.

I run the youth services program for at-risk children and parenting education classes at our local elemnetary school during the school year and I am a summer camp director for a large camp every summer. What is really neat is that some of my former students are now parents of my girls' friends.

I am a unique mom because I am proud to be a slacker mom. I'm not a very good cook and my kids may not eat the healthiest meals, I sometimes forget to take my kids to appointments, I have been known to send my kids out in damp clothes because I didn't get around to doing laundry and have to rush the clothes through the dryer at the last minute. Despite all my flaws, I love my children more than anything in the world and I make sure they know how grateful I am to be their mom every single day. They are fantastic kids!

I would love the Natural t-shirt in size Medium.

This is one of the most interesting Mother's Day contests because you ask for uniqueness...Sadly, I read all the glowing Mother's comments about how great a job they have done and it reminds me that I wasn't the best Mom I could have been. But I didn't know how...you see, I never had a Mom. But I learned everything the hard way and know I'll be better with the grandchildren. Guess it makes me unique to confess my ineptitude at motherhood the first time around. If I were to win...could you please send the shirt in XL and Black...thank you.
