Do you wear an apron in the kitchen while you cook? I don’t, but if I had one as cute as the one Barbara Curtis is wearing in this photo here, I might!
Barbara is hosting an “Apron Power” contest at her Mommy Life site that I think is fabulous! Here’s what she says:
Announcing the Apron Power! Contest
I say it’s time to bring back the apron – and I don’t mean the unisex cloth chef’s apron, but the frilly feminine – even to the point of useless – kind.
Send me a picture of you in your apron and I promise not only to run it, but to send the best ones a copy of my new book, The Mommy Survival Guide. Remember, practical is okay (mine is practical because it covers a lot and is made of oilcloth), but the criteria for this contest includes femininity.
The top picture – according to your votes – will win an apron just like mine (I managed to track one down on Ebay!).
Other criteria:
You must be wearing the apron
Context and creativity
Please spread the word! Our last photo contest – Meet Me in the Laundry Room (winners here) – was so much fun.
Entries due January 12. I will post them as I receive them, but also in a batch on January 13 for voting. Final day of voting January 19. Winners announced January 20.
So if you send her a picture of yourself wearing an apron, you may win her cool-looking vintage apron AND her new book, The Mommy Survival Guide.
A few months ago, I reviewed Barbara’s book, Lord, Please Meet Me in the Laundry Room and announced her Laundry Room contest, where you can see the winners here. (Still not quite sure HOW second place winner HolyMama! got her picture made on top of her laundry room cabinets!) Barbara’s publisher decided to give ALL of the entrants a free book. So I’d encourage you to enter if you like her books — and the one I read was great.
Any mom of 12 who can find enough time to be a mom AND write books is a hero to me!
