Pregnancy and new motherhood are all about discovery. Each is filled with unique experiences, new kinds of feelings and special milestones. Share a “moment”—big or small—with other Plum moms to offer support and inspiration. Write a 500-word essay telling us about: the most surprising thing you’ve learned along the way, your most cherished memory, or your proudest triumph. We’ll compile the strongest selections into the first-ever Plum essay book. One essay will be selected for the grand prize. As the grand prize winner you will receive a complimentary photo session—in the comfort of your own home—with acclaimed portrait photographer Jennifer Loomis, and an 11 x 14 print of your choice.
