You’re the Best Mom in the World!

Congratulations! If someone sent you a link to this page, that means that they think you’re the Best Mom in the World! Maybe your son or daughter sent you here for Mother’s Day. Maybe your own mother sent you here  to let you know she thinks you’re doing a great job with your new baby. Maybe your best friend saw how you handled the potential crisis in the restaurant the other day and wanted to thank you for averting disaster. Or maybe you just think you deserve it because you’ve had a rough day with the kids and think you’ve earned a little pat on the back for not packing up and driving to Reno without even leaving a note.

You may accept the award as many times as you wish, but please allow at least 24 hours before making additional claims. To give other moms a chance to bask in the glow of being the Best Mom in the World.

Thank you for this award. I am both humbled and honored. I have not slept through the night in 1247 days, so don’t mind me if I’m a bit “off.” I would like to thank my husband for the countless times he helps. To my oldest child, Janson, I love you more than the sun. And, beloved Jack…without YOU, none of this would be possible.

I’d like to thank my producers and my myspace fa….*what? why is Kanye grabbing the mic out of my hand! He’s not the father!*

Patti Jackman August 1, 2009 at 11:07 pm

I accept this award, while I snuggle my kids, wink at my husband, drink my beer and eat my spring rolls. Here’s to all the people who helped me get here. To all the bodies I climbed over. To all the Moms and wives I find camaraderie with. And all you moms and wives who I think are completely full of crap. Here is to you and me!

Thank you to my beautiful daughter who nominated me. With 3 girls it can be very trying at times and Reno does sound wonderful!!!!! however I would miss all the hugs, kisses, and loving I get from them. They make me the best mom in the world. This is for you girls!!!

I am truly honored! I’m not sure if I deserve it for just giving birth, but I hope to live up to the title!

@susieqtpie June 30, 2009 at 1:06 am

Awww thanks! lol

Amy (@HappyMomAmy) June 29, 2009 at 4:47 pm

Cool! Babychild fell over and screamed for me to sit her up, but I let her cry it out and do it herself. Tough love! =) She’ll thank me later.

I accept this award for all the tough-love mamas out there! It’s hard to muster and stick to it, but it helps in the long run.

Dear baby, you rock. Love, mommy. <3

holly May 31, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Thanks Kendall, you are the greatest daughter! Love, mom

ALMA tetrault May 28, 2009 at 7:47 pm

Yes i am the very best mother ever! My kids are happly married and doing well. I still help them out if they need it; but now they don’t need me every day.

I’d like to thank *sniff* cutestkidever *sniff* for this *sniff* Best Mom Ever *sniff* award. I would not be where I am today without the following…Diet Coke, Doritos, Pampers Diapers, Kohl’s Plus Size clothes even if I hate that I picked the same shirt that an 80-year-old lady picked, Fisher Price Toys, Starbucks, friends who get me, the blogging community at large, an afternoon nap even if my children are wreaking havoc in my house, and last but not least twitter. Twitter is the answer to my many and varied tech/parenting/80s music/Hollywood celeb trivia questions. At any hour of the day and night I can find a friend on twitter.

Amber May 12, 2009 at 11:39 pm

I would like to thank the election worker who gave my baby an ‘I voted’ sticker, and my baby for eating the sticker. Also, I would like to thank Twitter for distracting me during the critical few seconds that the sticker was ingested. I have clearly earned this award with my crack mothering skills.

Oh, and of course, thank you to CutestKidEver for the nomination! And the great big smile. :)

banteringblonde May 10, 2009 at 10:22 pm

Well, I’m just speechlesss … what can I say?

Debbie May 10, 2009 at 7:22 pm

What a nice surprise on Mother’s Day to receive this award. And especially nice that my daughter thought up the site! Thanks so much to her, Christina, for making me a mom. I’m always amazed and grateful that I have 3 wonderful children and two special grandchildren to keep me humble (and tired)! Over the years my kids have been my greatest blessing as well as my greatest trials. I wouldn’t trade any of it for a million dollars. Being “mom” and “grandma” are great joys in my life.

I found the link to this in a comment at TheGuiltyParent.com
Cute idea!

I think I’ve earned this status by putting up with a 2yr old! lol The attitudes as of late… WOW! I have never seen anything like this, and I’m the oldest of 8 kids!

Beckie Tetrault May 7, 2009 at 8:48 pm

I’d like to thank CutestKidEver for this nomination! I appreciate that someone, anyone thinks of me on Mother’s Day. I don’t want my children, or my husband to feel obligated to go out of their way in any manner to show their appreciation for everything I do around here, the cooking, the cleaning, the budgeting, the homeschooling, the field trip organizing, the caring for the pets, and pretty much everything else around here… I just hope that when my birthday and the holidays come around I can continue to be as selfless ;)

ROTFLMAO!!!

Sherry May 7, 2009 at 2:24 pm

That’s me, best mom in the world. The evidence is clear: both kids, still alive. And one is nearly 19 and still lives with me. Surely I deserve an award for not having killed any of them yet.

(thought the giggly, cuddly nature of mommyhood needed a teenage reality check..)

Margo May 7, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Thanks for the nomination! I am the best mom in the world, at least today, because when my daughter decided that it was time to get up at 5:45 this morning, we got up and cuddled on the couch. I didn’t spend an hour or two fighting with her, trying to get her to go back to bed. We had a tickle fight, chased each other around for a while, and made all sorts of noise. I am tired, but she had a great time. Hopefully she will wear herself out soon, so that we can go back to bed for a bit. :)

Toni May 6, 2009 at 8:45 pm

Thanks to @cutestkidever on twitter for giving me the best mom ever award! It brought a smile to my face. What did I do to receive the best mom in the world award..hmmm got annoyed with my kids LOL. Okay for real, even though I was tired and annoyed I got up from the much needed nap I was hoping for so I could make my kids some more grilled cheese sandwiches and brownies. Oh and a few days ago I took them to meet their favorite celebrity of all time, that’s way I deserve the be the Best Mom In the World…I actually even have a post about the Spongebob visit here: http://www.juststopscreaming.com/2009/05/why-i-am-best-mom-ever.html

Sandwiched May 6, 2009 at 7:20 pm

Why am I the Best Mom in the World? I took my kid to her field trip at the zoo. Packed our own lunches (to save money), got there right on time (no mean feat for me, I tell you), and got her quality time with her favorite animals (the deer even licked her!).

Thanks for the honor!

EclecticBird May 6, 2009 at 4:36 pm

I deserve the award becasue my husband and I waited ten years to have our sweet boy and now I spend all day every day being his mommy. I read when handed a book, I cuddle on demand, and I discipline as needed.

Christina May 6, 2009 at 3:54 pm

I deserve the award because… well, why not? I’ve got a smart little boy who has lots of self-confidence. Isn’t that what we all aim for?

Shannan P May 6, 2009 at 3:24 pm

I will happily accept the first Best Mom Award! I think I’m among some great company, because nearly every mom I know is the Best Mom in the World at one moment in time. The reason varies from day to day, but it all comes back to loving my kids more than anything in the world!

Kelby May 6, 2009 at 3:23 pm

I personally think I am the Best Mom in the World, but then I am biased. LOL. But seriously, all of us who are moms do an amazing job and this is no easy job. Happy Mother’s Day!

Diane May 6, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Me? The best mom in the world? Well hey, I try! It’s much more difficult than I could have ever imagined to be a full-time single mom, entrepreneur, and good friend — all at once. I’m extremely thankful that my girls think I’m doing a great job. :)

Thank you, Christina, for nominating me.
