Announcing the De-LUXE Mother’s Day Getaway Giveaway Winner!

Oh, baby, you mamas have some fabulous stories about how you got those little ones! It was quite difficult for our judges to decide on the winning essay for our De-LUXE Mother’s Day Getaway Giveaway! And the next hardest thing was choosing the runners-up! In fact, we had to award “runners-up” status to three winners instead of two because the judges had so much trouble. Thanks to all the moms who shared their stories with us. We really wish we could have given you all something, but rules is rules! So, without further ado ….. the winner of the Mother’s Day Getaway Giveaway is Amy Stearns of Fayetteville with her essay, “Two Kids and a Happy Meal.”

I just called Amy on her cell phone to tell her the good news and she screamed with glee. I felt a little like Bob Barker. Then she had to hang up fast because her daughter was about to step into traffic. When she called back, her son fell on the pavement just as I answered the telephone. She asked if she could call back again. Ah, life with children. It is never dull. 🙂

Amy wins a luxurious package from Luxe Derma Spa and Beauty Lounge, which will include a half-hour massage, Bilberry facial, manicure, pedicure, make-up and a spa lunch. Congratulations, Amy, and thanks to Luxe for the generous prize! The contest runners-ups will each receive dinner gift certificates and their essays will also run on the site beginning Monday. The runners-up are Darlene Cassat, Kassie Misiewicz and Lauren Levine. Congrats to you three mamas, too!

FYI, you will DEFINITELY want to read Amy’s story, which will run this weekend on MotherLode in honor of Mother’s Day. Amy and her husband, William, moved to Fayetteville five years ago from France. They were initially in the country as missionaries and then as businesspeople. Amy is an independent consultant with Arbonne, but I’m going to stop there with the details. I want the story to speak for itself. You will also want to read our runners-up stories; truly, they are all riveting.

Enjoy reading Amy’s story this weekend and have a fantastic Mother’s Day!
