Contest begins now. The winner will be announced May 8.

UPDATE: The Voice (Gainesville Sun's publication that runs Thursdays) is going to run a full page of our mom photos! If you submitted a photo and DO NOT want it to be published, please let me know. If I choose one of your photos to run, I will contact you if I need more information. P.S.-- I think this would be a great clip for a scrapbook!

Just submit photos to the general photo section of gainesvillemoms.com?

Yes, that's it. Let me know if you have any trouble at all. Thanks!

Is the preference to have mommy in the pic? Usually I am the one taking the pics, so there are almost zero of me with the kids.

It can be of a moment that was special to you; maybe something you did with them (even though you are not in the picture...) a vacation, trip to the beach, party...anything like that. But the preference is for mommy to be in the picture although it is okay if you are not.

Hey Suzy...I posted an album...hope it's not too late

Will you let us know when the page will run?

I will let you know tomorrow. I have an idea but I just need to confirm it.

And btw, if you live out-of-town (or state,) I will happily stick a copy in the mail for you. So, out-of-towners welcome!

How will it work if we submitted several photos for the contest? Will you pick one or do we need to?

I'll go through them and pick a good selection from all of the submissions.
