I know, I know, Five for Ten is officially over, done, vamoose! However, Jen and I really wanted to acknowledge a post from each category that deeply moved us. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get my writing wheels back, but for now, go check out these fine writers and the posts that knocked our socks off.

Great picks!!! Just from Five for Ten, I now have added to my list of daily required reading, and YES to all of them.
It was ten days of highs and lows, laughter and sadness, but certainly, ten sweet days of learning about new, incredible moms and writers, and discovering more about ourselves too. It helped me push my own boundaries. So, really, thank you for these amazing, unforgettable 10 days.

I really, really loved the Five for Ten concept. When are you doing something like it again? Someone else turned me on to it and it’s a great thing. Gets our creative juices flowing beyond diapers and well, juice.
Crystal,
Not sure. So far we’ve done it twice. It takes A LOT of doing. So, if we decide to go for Round III it would probably be in the winter, or, quite possibly we’d have to wait a full year.
And creative juices BEYOND actual juice? Totally awesome, right?
Oh my, you two are too sweet. I’m over the moon… and still a little shy that I actually wrote that post.
Excellent choices on the others too! What I love about this is how differently we all responded to these great one-word prompts. Amazing how one topic can generate such stories. Love it!

Don’t be shy. That post is a winner from the very first paragraph. Vulnerable and honest. Just my style, girl!
Thank you for adding to my list of gotta-reads. I appreciate it!
Thank You So Much. That post has been in my head for a long time and I am glad you gave me the opportunity to capture it. It was cathartic.
I echo Eva. You both are too sweet. And you made my morning.

Can’t wait to read the ones I haven’t already read! ;)
I am so honored to be on the list … even if my post did evoke lots of cold showers and fierce blushing. :)
I am still trying to find time to read every last Five for Ten post, so this is fantastic. I will read them all, but I’ll be reading the ones from this list that I haven’t gotten to yet.
And, again, Five for Ten was and remains to be an astounding canvas of raw honesty, vulnerability, gut laughs, and open hearts. I probably need a year to recover, but it was so worth it.

Thanks so much for the big kudos here! We were in remarkable writerly company, and I loved being able to read the minds of so many bloggers I now feel like I know.
You did a great thing by reading and writing so openheartedly… how could you not create a whole big bunch of mutual admirers. And from a practical, tech-y standpoint, your website really WORKS to create community…

I missed all of these posts, so I’m off to read them. Love that you made this list.

Wow! I’m totally flattered to be one of your picks. Thanks so much for bringing a whole shebang of new readers to my blog – it’s nice to feel like more than three people are reading and enjoying what I’m writing.
You two are doing such a cool thing with your blog, bringing us all together. I don’t know why more of us aren’t this honest with each other face-to-face, but finding all these great moms, being so funny and blunt and creative – it’s fantastic!
Thank you.
.-= Heather´s last blog ..And then there were four. =-.
Great picks! There were just so many wonderful posts in this last Five For Ten series but these are definitely some of the very best.
Fabulous choices! I just want to say again how much fun I had participating. And thanks for even considering doing it all again — I can’t wait!
Oh, I hope you do it again! I’d love to participate next time.

I’m still working through the Yes list. About halfway down. So thank you for the heads up on Eva. That was such a powerful post that I completely related to.
