In celebration of Mom’s I’ve decided to hold my first ever Mother’s Day Contest. The prize will be an outdoor or studio session for one deserving mom plus she will win her very own custom photo purse! Total prize value is well over $200 so please be sure to nominate yourself or a deserving Mom that you know into the contest. Only one entry per person please! You can click here to go to the contest form.
To give you some inspiration I thought I’d blog about a mom who I felt was so deserving that she actually received the same prize as her Christmas Present from me – my good friend Aimee Rau. I’ve known Aimee since she was and I were we little girls, we didn’t really grow up together, but I somehow always remember knowing her. As teenagers we hung out quite a bit and we went on in life to marry two great guys who happen to also be friends. Aimee had her first child just weeks apart from my third. Our two girls have always been good friends. Our boys were born a little further apart, but still happened to land in the same grade. Needless to say they also have fun getting into trouble together. All of this aside, the reason I wanted to give something special to Aimee was as a little thank you for all the love and inspiration she gives to tons of kids each and every day. Miss Aimee, as she is often called, is a piano teacher like no other I know! She is caring and patient to each and everyone of her “little Mozarts” and has inspired more young musicians that I can count – including 3 of my own children! Here is a shot I took of her outside her music sudio “The Music Box” last week.
So hat’s off to my good friend – Miss Aimee! A mother to two and mentor to countless! Thanks so much for all the music and love you share with our community! Girl you are the best!! 
Now if you know someone who would love a custom photo purse or if you’d like to nominate yourself… go to the form and tell me about this special mom – it can be funny or creative or whatever you like! Just click here and nominate away!!
