As part of the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway I am proud to present a great CD by Nichole Nordeman called recollection - The Best of Nichole Nordeman.
You may win your very own copy of this fantastic CD by replying in my comments section with what makes you feel like the Best Mom in the World. You know, what's your own version of a June Cleaver moment. I feel I am Mom of the World when I bake something. And no, I do not bake very often. On Saturday, I made cup cakes and chocolate frosting - from scratch! Nobody even asked me to bake. I knew I was Queen Mommy for the day. Loving my family is tied very closely to filling their tummies.
So what makes you feel like you're actually a great mom. Let me see your comments by Friday morning at 6 am - EST. That's when I'll do a random drawing of all the comments. I might even add the funny book I picked up with the CD as a bonus. I'll throw (make that lovingly place) the winner's package in the mail Friday.
I hope to hear your comments. I'm sure you'll be able to out do my occasional baking. Remember, it's not about what sounds the best, but what crazy thing makes you feel the best.
She has such a beautiful voice and great talent! Oh please do count me in!
ReplyDeleteOh this one is kind of hard. I think I feel like the best mom when I turn my computer off and give them my full attention. Speaking of...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be in your drawing!
I guess I feel like the best mom when I get to cheer my kids on when they've accomplished some thing on their own. Their success becomes my success! Count me in..I love N.N's music!
ReplyDeleteK
isn't she great? I feel like the best Mom in the world when I just get big hugs at bedtime and they 'wuv' all over me!
ReplyDeleteI fell like a great mom when I am able to spend time with my kids. When I notice details and get to know them better.
ReplyDeleteI love Nicole Nordeman. What a great giveaway! My e-mail is godsgirltmm@hotmail.com
Taking a walk and just talking. I feel like I'm connecting with my oldest then.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Melinda
I feel like a great mom when I'm spending time pointing them to Jesus, especially when I can actually remember and take advantage of those teachable everyday moments in the car, while cleaning house, or just playing a game with them.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am mom to one infant. I feelt like a great mom when he smiles at me, and when my husband tells me I'm doing a good job with him.
ReplyDeleteI love Nichole's music--please sign me up!
I love her! Please sign me up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect prize! I am not commenting to win this, since I have all of her CDs and I am not a mom, but I wanted to comment that this is my favorite prize being offered. I hope the winner enjoys her music as much as I do. She is such a talented singer/songwriter.
ReplyDeleteLet's see...my "best mom" moments are those rare times when I catch a "teaching moment" right on the nose, and we have a great discussion. I love that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway--count me in! Thanks for playing along--
This is great. I used to sing with Nicole's mom!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like a wonderful mom when I scrapbook for my kids-I can't wait to give them their books when they grow up!
ReplyDeleteBTW, LOVE Nichole Nordeman!

ReplyDeleteSorry for my previous oops! Which would actually go to my correct comment on I know that I'm being a good mom when I can admit my mistakes to my boys and demonstrate to them that we all depend on God's grace.
ReplyDeletePlease enter my name.
I guess I feel like a great mom when my kids hear about other not-so-great moms and are shocked. I'm happy that their experience in our home has been so positive that it's shocking to them when they see kids being spoken to and/or treated badly. And I'd love the cd!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win some new music. I think I am the best Mommy when I take the kids out for individual attention. My older son gets told "I can't right now honey" a lot because I have twin toddlers, and the twins are always lumped together. So i try to give all three of them some "Mommy and Me" alone time when I can.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm getting it right when someone compliments my children! I would love to have this CD to add to our collection in the van!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I feel like the best mom in the world when I hear my oldest daughter reading to my youngest girls. I'm teaching her to read and it has been fun and yet a big challenge.

Tasha: I have felt like the world's best mom when my children have hurt themselves and their response to my kiss is "all better". I must have magic kisses :)
ReplyDeletei'd love to win the cd! i think i'm the best mom when i'm looking my worst and my daughters look up at me and smile and say "momma you're beautiful and i love you" it humbles me sooo much!
ReplyDeleteI feel like super mom when I actually have my inlaws over for dinner.. they take us out to eat all the time, but if we invite them over to eat, that means that a) the house is clean and b) I am cooking something really good.

ReplyDeleteWhen they do that I feel like I must be doing something right.
Thank you for a great giveaway!
I'd love to be in your drawing! We love music over here!
ReplyDeleteWhen we're on the floor and I'm the jungle gym. The belly laughs and giggles tell me I'm doing it right.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a mom yet, but I would still like to enter the drawing, if that's okay.
ReplyDeleteI will change the question a little bit and say that my mom is the best mom because we could talk forever, and we always laugh together. And she always supports & encourages me, and... oh, too much? I could go on. :)
Hmmm, I feel like a great mom when I sit down with my son and spend the time to learn or make a special project together - I know I'm giving him undivided attention rather than doing 10 things at once!
ReplyDeleteI feel like the best mom in the world when my kids tell me so.
ReplyDeleteI love the NN cd!

I guess my best mom moments would be when my daughter looks at me and tells me that I'm the best mom and that I spoil her and her Daddy. Please enter me in the contest.
ReplyDeleteLove her, enter me please...
ReplyDeleteI feel lie the best mommy when one of my kids, for no reason, come up to me and hug me, or love me. Or, maybe when I se them doing someting kind for someone elese.
ReplyDeletePlease add me!
:)
I feel like the best mom when my kids are hurt or sick or scared, because they need me so much then. And even though it breaks my heart to see them in pain, I absolutely LOVE being able to hug and hold and take care of them during such times. I feel so needed and I just love to stop all I'm doing and nurture them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this sounds crazy. But I feel like the best mom in the world when my kids acheive something that has nothing to do with me. This week my 8 year old, finally learned how to ride his bike w/o training wheels..and the pride he had in himself...it just made me feel like the best mom.
ReplyDeleteI feel like a great mom when one of my kids tells me. My 18 year old and I were talking the other day and reminiscing a bit. She was my most challenging child and we talked of how I spent a lot of time in prayer in order to know how to deal with her. She came up and hugged me and told me she was so thankful to have me for a mom. She went on to say what kind of a child she might have turned out to be had she had a different parent. What wonderful insight, I felt like the best mom.
ReplyDeleteLove. Nichole. Nordeman. God has blessed me through her more times than I can count!
ReplyDeleteI feel like a good mom when my child doesn't pick her nose, belch like a sailor, or push a small child out of the way to get "first in line".
Seriously? I feel like I have done my job well, when I hear my daughter talk to the Great I AM. She just seems to "get" Him. That's when I feel best as a mom.

ReplyDelete(salliann.ran@verizon.net)

Seeing the enormous slobbery grin on my baby boy's face when I go to get him out of bed in the morning- haven't made any mistakes yet today, he doesn't remember the ones from yesterday, and he's happy to see me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Nichole Nordeman and have that CD on my "wish list". I feel like a super-great Mom when I am relaxing with all 4 kids on the bed and reading aloud to them. Another time is when we are all together and playing and everyone is feeling happy (all.at.the.same.time!!)! Great give-away and a fun question to boot! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to say it's when I bake fresh cupcakes from scratch, but...I don't do that. Sounds pretty mommy-like though.
ReplyDeleteMine would be when I'm snuggled up with my little munchkins in my lap reading God's word I'd have to say. Especially if they start asking questions and I'm able to direct their hearts to God.
Mmm, but cupcakes do sound really yummy!! I'll have to try to be more mommyish like that more often. :o)
Thanks for entering me!
when we are snuggled up in bed reading book after book is my pick. i'd love to win btw!
ReplyDeleteI'm in too :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like the best mom in the world when I get everything done! lol But.... there is always something left to do :p

ReplyDeletelove nicole, plus i'm a nicole, so i have to win, right?!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Don't send me the CD because I have everything Nichole has ever recorded already on my IPod...she is one of my favorites. However, I wanted to answer your question:
ReplyDeleteI said when the girls were really little that I would feel like I had done my job if they 1)loved Jesus 2) loved to read. Everytime that I see evidence of those two things in my girls, I feel like a great mom. Thank my precious Lord, I see that evidence all the time!! The latter, especially this week!

I'm nervous about it, but be sure I won't show that.
