Who Is Your Mom Hero?

As my kids get older, I'm find out more and more that I really have no idea what I'm doing. What kind of punishment should I give? How much money does the toothfairy leave? Is it wrong to give children hotdogs at least once a day? ...I'm kidding!...kinda...

Sometimes things come together beautifully and sometimes we eat cold cereal for dinner at 7:00pm. 

This is where all my super moms come into play. They give the best advice and tips. I'm astounded by so many fantastic moms in my life. Neighbors, friends across the country, moms like you who I have never met, but still can learn from. 

Every mom is a hero. Big time! We are chefs, nurses, chauffeurs, builders, maids, educators, assistants, friends, personal shoppers, face cleaners and diaper changers. We can be found covered in unrecognizable goop and periodically wear our pajamas for days on end (I may or may not speak from personal experience on that one...and I may be wearing my robe right now at 2:30pm) but moms run the show. We get things done the best we can. 

The moms that are the biggest heros to me are the moms that get things done even when it's hard. Whether they have 6 children to tend to at home all day, a full time job to keep them super busy or the moms that are sick and still manage to get their kids to school on time with their hair combed. 

I'm sure you know a heroic mom or see one when you look in the mirror. Share your story and you will be entered for a chance to win $2,500cash from Allstate. Plus four runner-ups will receive a $100 Visa Gift Card. *The five finalists will be chosen from the Entries receiving the most votes.
