I rarely join blog contests that require me to do more than post a comment because I never win (or maybe that’s because I don’t join?), but I didn’t hesitate to join when Aileen Apolo offered a dozen free Kripy Kremes as the prize for her Mother’s Day contest. Besides, the mechanics were pretty simple: submit a photo of you with your mother to Chloe, the official Krispy Kreme girl on Facebook, with a description on why it’s magical. My mom and I have tons of pictures together, so this was easy! Here’s my entry:

This photo was taken two years ago at Space Mountain at the most magical place on earth, Disneyland, when I took my mother to Hong Kong.
At that very moment, for a little while, she was not a wife and mother managing a household with five kids while studying for her doctorate degree, she was a little girl without a care in the world just enjoying a roller coaster ride.

I won, yipee!

I love doughnuts, they’re on my list of top ten favorite foods, but they just taste a whole lot more delicious when they’re free!

Thank you, Aileen and Chloe (and mama)! You’re wrecking my diet and I’ll have to spend extra minutes on the exercise bike, but Krispy Kreme doughnuts make me happy like nothing else can!
