Happy Mother’s Day!
This Mother’s Day, we asked you to tell us the best thing about your mama. Below are all of the fantastic responses we got. Some funny, some sweet, some.. a bit cryptic. All goes to show, there are many ways to love a mama.
Here’s our special entry that won the $25 gift certificate. Congratulations, Marnie!
“…because she raised three little ones on her own after my father died unexpectedly when my twin and I were six months old (we have a brother 3.5 years older than us) and never gave any indication of having a rough day. I know now how hard it must have been and I only have one baby and a partner that helps a great deal! She is resilient and keeps her head high. A true hero who set an incredible example for her children.”
Thanks to all for sharing the love.
Happy Mother’s Day, mamas!

Your mama is so…
-She’s super glam -Zaina
-Super sweet and will talk to anyone, sometimes too much;) Many times my friends have said “I wish your mom was my mom.” -Anne
-She’s got the best homecooking EVER that makes any day that much better~ -Tomoko
-LOVE LOVE RED -Pam
-My mama is soo amazing because she has been so supportive of me becoming a mother. She came to help me in the first few months of my daughters life, and I will cherish not only the time she had with my daughter, but the time my mom and I had together. I only hope to be as good a mother to my daughter as she is to me! Love ya momma -Bethany
-She likes to tell dirty jokes, but whispers the naughty punch lines. -Amanda
-Need a map? She’ll draw one to scale. Need your car packed? You didn’t know it was possible to fit so much. Need an ear? She’s got that too. -Joshua
-My mom is like an elephant (minus the dung or the large size). In the elephant culture, matriarchs are prized for their ability to guide the herd. Fearless leaders, these elephant mothers are responsible for directing the younger females and making the major decisions that decide the fate of the herd. They are loved by their sisters and daughters, who flower them with spritzes of water on the hot, days of the African summer. In my household, the matriarch was prized for her ability to guide my father from point A to point B without getting lost. A fearless leader, my mother was responsible for directing her children to illustrious careers through her example. My mother is loved by her family, who flower her with flowers on mother’s day. So, my mom is like an elephant (minus the dung or the large size), and I love her very much. -Sonny
-There are lots of ‘Best’ things, but I like my mom’s cooking, especially her pizza and chocolate chip cookies. -@ExtremelyAverage (via twitter)
-My mama is so…140 characters isn’t long enough!! She’s so awesome, she makes me want to be a better mama! -@thenorwexchick (via twitter)
-She can be very serious but once she finds something funny there is no way to stop that giggle – until it turns into astonishingly loud, belly-aching laughter. 10 minutes later she’s got tears streaming down her face and everyone around her is happy. – Andrea
-She has a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. Which is surprising because she’s this sweet, warm mama & you just wouldn’t see it coming. If you’re sick or sad, there’s nobody more comforting in the world. But say you got just a little bit hurt or embarrassed- like your chair broke & you fell on your butt. Or you sneezed & your skirt ripped. The lady will laugh herself to tears at your expense. Pretty awesome. Plus, she taught me to love vegetables & Martini’s. Cheers, Mama! -Maryann
