Kristin, with one of the many valentines to BaltimoreMommies. There were also lots of good words for Maryland Mommy, Maryland Mommies and ChesapeakeMommies today. Boy, it can be a little tough to keep you all straight! Thanks to all who helped us strive for 500 comments, and added some good resources and funny posts in the process. I hope you'll stick around and get us to 1,000! And now to the matter of Kristin's fabulous prize....

She gets a choice of one of these books:

--The exciting new version of What to Expect When You're Expecting, by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel, with hip expecting mama in jeans replacing lady in the rocking chair. (You probably don't need it, Kristin, but this would be a nice gift to have on hand the next time a friend or relative announces she's pregnant.)

--The Cowgirl's Cookbook: Recipes for Your Home on the Range, by Jill Charlotte Stanford. Looks like fun.

--Cheese Hors d'Oeuvres, by Hallie Harron. Kristin is required to invite us over for a cocktail party if she chooses this one.

--The Official Guide to Dysfunctional Parenting, by Frederick Muench and Gregory Nemec. I don't need this guide; I worry that I could have written it. But Kristin may be a very good and conscientious parent, in which case she requires some help to mess up her kids.

--The Pretzel Cookbook, by Priscilla Warren. Because life with kids gets twisted.

Which one would you choose? Tell us below. And Kristin, you can let me know your choice either by commenting below or by private email.
