One shining moment for moms everywhere

NoahandmomWhether or not you're a Florida Gators fan, last night's national championship victory was notable, if for no other reason than this: Joakim Noah celebrated on the court with his teammates and coach, then headed up (and up and up) into the stands until he found the one person he most wanted to hug, his mother. And he looked like he'd never let go. What mother wouldn't be proud of that?

Just found your site and thought some readers may be interested in a grant for moms. I'm writing on behalf of Whirlpool brand and we're looking for moms to enter the Mother of Invention Grant. You can win up to a $20,000 grant and a trip for a business boot camp. Check out www.whirlpool.com/moms. Thanks! Karina

Thank you for posting this blog. I am currently awaiting liver surgery at Shands Gainesville. It is comforting to know what I can expect (even though it is very painful) instead of all of the "What Ifs". They think that I either have an adenoma or FNH.

That's really neat. It's nice for moms to know that they're special to their children.

I've always said that if my kids were ever on tv, they'd better wave and mouth 'Hi, Mom!' :)
