While Mother’s Day was officially yesterday, I think Moms everywhere deserve to be appreciated everyday, since being a Mom is a daily “job.”  Growing up, I remember how much I loved my Mom as well as how awesome I thought she was. She was able to cook, clean, work out of the home and still be home after we got out of school for the day. I really do wish I had told her how much I appreciated her more often when I was a child, but at least I can tell her know that I am a Mom myself. I can see the job of being a Mom through totally new eyes and realize how much a Mom gives of herself for the sake of her children. One of the greatest gifts my Mother gave to me was the gift of loving all creatures, great and small. I am a huge animal lover and feel so blessed each day to share my space with animals whom I truly love. We always had pets growing up and I remember how much my Mother cared for all of them and how much her heart broke when she had to say goodbye to them. As a child, I never looked at this shared appreciation for animals as a gift, but as an adult, I see all those that don’t appreciate animals and feel so sorry for them. My Mom gave me the gift of learning to love all creatures and that is a priceless.

To me, my Mom is the Mom of the Year every year. She does the very best she can and has such a loving heart. As an adult, I truly value the relationship I am able to have with my Mom and treasure the time we get to spend together. It has been very hard for me to be so far apart from her after our move last year, but thanks to my cell phone, I can at least talk to her whenever I want ♥ So to you Mom….Thank You for Everything!

I am excited to announce that Walmart is launching the Mom of the Year Award to celebrate all that Moms do and how important they really are! Nominations will be accepted starting on Mother’s Day and running through July 8, 2012.  Nominations can be submitted at www.momoftheyear.ca.

“To help cheer on Team Canada at the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games, Pampers has teamed up with Canadian Olympic Games Bronze medalist and new mother, Priscilla Lopes-Schliep and her baby Nataliya to launch “O Canada, Baby” – the first version of the national anthem performed entirely by little athletes; babies!”

I cannot tell you how excited I was to get to participate in this fantastic Pampers Canada Campaign! My participation included making a video of my Daughter, who is age 2, singing and dancing, that was submitted to Pampers Canada! Now that the campaign has gone live on the Pampers Canada Facebook Page, you can also share your Team Canada pride by submitting a video of your baby that could become part of the first cut of the national anthem performed entirely by babies!

“To further cheer on Team Canada, new Limited Edition “Go Canada Go!” Pampers Olympic Games packaging is available featuring 2x Gifts to Grow points. Parents can redeem Pampers Gifts to Grow points for HBC Team Canada baby gear to get their babies ready for the Olympic Games. The Pampers Canada partnership is an extension of P&G’s global sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympic Games.”

If you are looking for a huge cuteness overload or would like to submit your adorable sweetie’s video, check out the O’ Canada Baby Page!
