Boom. Here we go again!
In last week’s Mommy Reality Challenge, Jen commanded that we expose the contents of our purses to the world! We had many participants! Some of you posted your purse pics in a blog post which you linked to the “Mommy Reality” post, and some of you posted pics with the #mommyreality hashtag on Twitter, Google+, Instagram and Facebook!
Once again, we can only pick one challenge winner! The “What a Mom’s Purse Looks Like” winner is …….
Natasha from Tiny Tots Adventures!
When Natasha informed us that the Nipple Cream in her bag worked well on chapped lips when you’re out of lip balm, we all went, “Wha, wha- WHAAAT?!” But, sure enough! Natasha is on to something! Google it and see for yourself!
Here’s your meme, Natasha! And since you’re the challenge winner, you have the opportunity to be our co-host on next week’s post! We hope you’ll join us!
Our runner-up slot goes to Echo from Domain of the Mad Mommy because we were ultra-impressed at how many essentials she could cram in her bag!
Now it’s time for the next challenge!
Meet the Mommy Reality Team!

Our new Mommy Reality Challenge is… “When Photos Fail”!
There are moments you want to capture of your children to preserve them to treasure forever and ever. A birthday celebration, a special trip, fun times with friends…
…..And then for whatever reason the photo ends up looking something like this:
Maybe the kids weren’t cooperating, a thumb was over the lens… or you just, plain and simple, straight-up STANK at taking their photo that time, Mama!
Whatever the reason they turned out terribly, we want to see! Link up to 3 photos this week of your photo failures of your family or kiddos! If you’re sharing your photo failures via social media, make sure to include the #mommyreality hashtag so we can find you and come back and link your picture up here so everyone can share in the goodness!
Don’t forget to grab our super-nifty button!
✔ *By submitting your pic, you are giving the Mommy Reality Team permission to use your photo to create a special silly meme for you if you win! :). If you win, you also have the to opportunity to be our co-host!

I need to upload Emma’s first Christmas family photo shoot at JC Penny for this challenge if I can, because I am not kinding whe I say at 4 months old she was just plain miserable and couldn’t get her to smile in one photo. It was awful and the photographer tried to offer for us to come back, but after a long wait and an even longer photo shoot there was just no way in hell I was going through that again anytime soon!

Last night as I was compiling my own photo fails the kids and I were laughing so hard we were crying. I have to be a pretty rotten photographer to have that many fails!

Nipple cream!? Who knew? I don’t remember it actually soothing nipples, to be honest, so I’m glad about this.
I was too embarrassed to show my purse – all herbal anxiety sprays and not any like.. you know… real meds. So there’s that.
I’m sure I have a LOT of photo fails.
Tamara recently posted…I Don’t Think We’re In Jersey Anymore!
I remember the first time I was nursing and there was nothing that really worked to soothe nipples, 4 babies later still haven’t found a winner. After seeing this picture and trying it out, it did however totally work on lips. Who knew? Well, Natasha did.
BTW- I totally have to get you hooked up with the essential oils I use for anxiety et. all.

So excited to be the first co-host! Thank you Jen & Celeste! I’m a little creeped out about the idea of putting lanolin on my lips… but as I’ve learned from mommy reality, sometimes you just have to go with what works!
Farrah recently posted…The Snotsucker
First time using the lanolin on your lips might be a lot like the first time you used the “snotsucker” on baby!!
