Pick me… Pick me…!!!
would love to win…
PICK ME!!!
She is the best MOM in the whole world. She gave everyday of her life to her children and spent very little time on herself. She is the #1 mom and wife in the whole world!!!!
I think my daughter is the best MOM in the world!
She is a single mom who works the night shift as a residential counselor in a home for troubled-teen girls. She also goes to school full-time on week days to become a dental assistant. She will graduate this summer with honors. She has obtained this goal with little help from others and with little sleep and sporadic child support payments.
She is raising two of the most well-mannered intelligent boys (ages 9 and 5) that I have every seen and I am not just saying that because they are my grandsons.
How she manages all this and still finds special quality time with them is beyond my conprehension.
Way to go girl!!! I am very proud of you.
This wonderful Mother is Krista Tonkin of Gallatin, Tennessee.
my children did not enter the CONTEST,SO,i did it myself.I really enjoy sweets. pick me,please and i will tell them about my good stuff…thanks
My daughter Donna Noble is a wonderful mom. In addition to a full time job she drives two cildren to team and personel sports. She is an elementary guidance counsellor but never loses patience with any of her assorted roles.

Hello, I am not the mother, I am the daughter.Please enter Me to the contest so i can win my MOM something.My Mom is unemployed right now so she doesnt treat herself =(.I want my mom too be really happy please enter me to the contest and wish my luck thank you everyone.
My mother Marie is my hero for a day for many reasons. When I cry a puddle of endless tears she’s the sponge that absorbs them. When I feel like I fall short of a dream she’s like a quote in my head telling me when you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place. My mother is a true inspiration. She loves me despite my flaws and faults. I’ve never knew what a best friend was until my mom has walked me through life. My mom taught me life long lessons that I will take with me through adulthood. The most important thing she has taught me is to love myself and that experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you. I always come griping about what a bad day I’ve had and she always let me know that she’ll always be here for me. My mother stayed in my life when the rest of the world walked out. Best friends are a necessary aspect of every human’s life, as we are not self sufficient in and of ourselves. When I need her for the littlest thing she’ll drop what she’s doing to come to my rescue, she’s super mom. She is the epitome of what an outstanding mother stands for. My mother is my hero and this day of pampering could be only the beginning to show the appreciation and love and compassion I have for her and all the things she has done through out my life. My mother is a rare jewel many have some but, mine shines brighter than the midnight’s stars. She’s one in a million.
What a wonderful idea. I am a mother, a caregiver and a caretaker. Mother’s day is a time to show our gratitude for those women in our lives who have given us that extra push, boost, and confidence to do what we set our minds on.
Happy Mother’s Day.
the 5 Minutes for Mom give-away is my last chance at getting something for mother’s day. My son decided this year that mother’s day is too commercialized so I did not get a card or a gift.
You can read about it on my blog.
I did get to cry because i was so hurt if that counts as a gift.
Crossing my finger that I win

My mom has been so inspirational for me, and she has put every ounce of herself into taking care of my sister and I, being a good mentor and friend, and making sure we grow up to be responsible adults. Please consider her for this IPod. It would be something good for to listen music on while we are at school. Thank you

My mother is the best person on the planet. She is the coolest mother. She is the most compationate person I know. She has just recently beat a long battle of colon cancer, and she has not changed. She chose not to let it bet her. She and her sister were fighting together and they both have bet the odds. She has a beautiful smile and I think a great gift would be nice for a great woman.
pls let me win this ipod nano from pch.com i thanks yu so much and pls let me know about it….bye

Hi, Im not gonna enter this thing as some sort of stupid rip off or scam bull i just wanted to share i wanna win my mom something nice, she works all the time has since i was born she was 17 then, and I think she has done a wonderful job raising me and my little brother.. She dropped out of high school then, but since then Ive been to her GED graduation, Her College Graduation, then Ive saw her rack up 2 other degrees since then, im currently trying to build my house, so I dont really have money to spare but It would be absolutely perfect to win something to give her;^) thanks i just wanted to share!!
iam very pleased to be a mom and to enter into this contest.
mother is one of the best day s of the year it’s a pleasure to know that you have post this website jus for mom everywhere.
I got in love, I was a professional woman,he was wonderful at first and then…THE NIGHTMARE STARTED! I gave chances…but the change never came, so I decided to give my children a new start. Since I gave birth to my children, I have experienced…having to leave my Country to take away my children from an extremely violent environment in which their “dad” bite them, scratched them and when I tried to defend them, he did hit me several times to a concrete wall breaking my neck. I walk into a State that I have never visited, bought a newspaper and founded a one bedroom apartment for us five ( 4 children and myself). I founded a job and a school and after care for them. My day started at 5:00 a.m. While my feet were bleeding (literaly) because I had bad broken cheap shoes and had to walk more than 100 blocks daily to take them to school, for me to go to work, to pick them up from school in my lunch hour to take them to the after school care, to go back to work and then to finish my working day to go and pick them up at 9 p.m at their after school care to take them to the house after taking three buses and arriving to my home at 1 a.m, my children always had what they needed…love, caring, good comfortable shoes and more love and care. Because of the injury their dad gave me when he hit me to the concrete wall, my neck was broken, I had surgery and didn’t come right, but I’m still here! Now, I don’t need as confortable shoes as I did when I used to walk back and forth to keep control of my children and my job…now I have a wheelchair that I use depending on how the day is going. There are good days and there are bad days, painful days and not so painful, but I’m still here. My children came with me when they were babies…now they are taller than me and hopefully one day would come when they will be just like me…there for their children no matter what sacrifices they had to make to keep them safe, happy and learning that life is a risk that sometimes can be easy to embrace and sometimes it comes with other obstacles that you have to find out how to beat. For now…I’m here and I’m planning to be until in my heart I know that is safe for them to fly “solo”.
Please include me in all the sweepstakes, it will be greatly appreciated. I never receive anything in Mother’s Day or Birthday…maybe this year will be my lucky year.
It would be nice to give my mother a good gift been in hard times with money and everything
I believe my mother deserves to get any of these prizes! I am 14 and I have 3 other siblings that are all younger then me! My mom is very stressed right now because we are in the process of adopting twims from Ethiopia. We have been in this process for almost two years and she never complains. She knows that God has his own timing and she will be patient and wait for what he has planned because thats whats best! Even though she doesn’t show it I know inside she is wanting these precious six year olds to come home just as I do. They aren’t in the best environment right now and she just wants them to have a family who loves them and cares about them. I wanted to get her something this mothers day, but Im only 14 and I don’t get any of my own money! I think she is TRUELY deserving of any on these prizes! She is the best and most patient mom I have ever seen! I love her soooo much, even though sometimes I don’t show it! I would appreciate if you would give her one of these prizes!!! Thanks!
All moms deserve prizes like this!! My mom wo momrks long hours I don’t like that.I bet nobody likes it when their mom works long hours.But moms need the money to pay for bills. My mom wants a new basment because when it rains really bad our basment flods. Plus our house gets mesd up by our dog and cat. I really hope my mom gets this!

There is this one special woman in the world she taught me how to talk, she talk me how to walk, and she taught me how to be me. I followed in her footsteps because i wanted to be like her, she was my roll-modle. She made me who I am today a thirdteen year old, that is heathly because she helped me when i needed her, when I had to go to sick kids. I am the girl that everyone knows as the good girl because this woman taught me how to be one. In my mind she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I love this woman more then anything in the whole world, I could not have a better person then her. She makes the house clean,, and cleans my laundry because I am to lazy, but when she needs my help I will always be right there. The house is nice, clean, and it smells good today because of her. She is a very stong woman, and she likes to do things on her own. You would never see one tear in her eye because she doesn’t cry, and you know why she doesn’t cry: it is because she is a very strong woman. Do you know what her name is. Her name is mommy, and that will be her name until the day that I DIE! I LOVE YOU MOMMY/ MOM( best woman in the world )!
My motorcycle mamma loves heavy metal bands….like Metallica, AC/DC Ozzie and such…..Regardless of her free spiriting ways….Wolf and I…..love her very much. Happy Mothers Day…what more can I say…except that we miss you…today and EVERYday.
Having Motorcycle mamma made us winners in more ways that one…never boring….always fun!!!!
Mothers Day to me is not about winning a contest, its about thanking your mom for everything that she has done for you and showing her how much you appreciate her by doing something special for her. You shouldnt just show her how much you care on Mothers Day but everyday because its the right thing to do. Since day 1 my mom has been a miracle worker in my life. She has fought for me and taken care of me better than anyone else ever could dream of. No one else could compare to her. I love her everyday of every week of every year. She truly is My Hero and I thank God everyday for putting her in my life
My mom has literally given up her life to help others. My mom has lost her mom, dad, sister and husband within five (5)years. she now suffers from seizures and depression. she took care of all her family that passed away until the very end, during that time and even now, no one offered her an extended hand to help. now that they have passed she have relatives that are attacking her for materialistic things. My mom has not had a decent rest in a long time, when no one is around my mom cries in the night, i see the stress and hurt that no one else sees and it tears me apart. I love my mom so much and it hurts that i can not fix her pain. I do my very best to assist in getting her the necessities she need. In everything my mom is going through, she has never stop helping others, shes apart of the clergy board at the police station, where she volunteers her time to help troubled youth and adults, my mom is called at all times of the day including the wee hours in the mornings.What i admire about my mom, is she never complains, she gets up forsaking her own physical and mental pain just to help the next person. My mom believes that there is always someone who carries a greater pain than you, so we should not just focus on ourselves but learn to reach out to the next person because you never know who is on the verge of snapping. I admire my mom so much for her love and support to people in the community and all those who have had the opportunity to come across her path. In closing, I really pray that this letter reaches you, although if there was something i could give her it would be peace – lol but this package would really really move my mommy to let her know that, people do care, i care and that all her good deeds are not in vain. Please help me, do something for my mom. Thank you,
Sonya
i want to give my wife the world if i can, she is a remarkable wife and mother. As a wife she is very loving and patient. We have been struggling for many years financially and emotionally. But through it all she still maintain her sense of humor and love for our family. I try to do my best to suppor ther , but things are not going well for me. We have three young ones that does not know what there mom is going through. My wife works nights and take care of my kids in the daytime. When i mean work at night , means she get home at 3or 5 in the morning. I totlally admire her for not being so strong emotionally and physically. She gets maybe 1hour of sleep and have to get up and take care of the kids. She makes breakfast and takes them to school at diffenent time. At the same she is also watching out for my youthest one, which is only 18month old. I know that she is under alot of stress due to her crazy stchudule. On here days off , she only do things for our family , never for her. I just want one time in her life for her to just have some fun and not have to worry about our family. . I know that this year is a bad year for lots of people, but without my wife doing so much , i wouldnt know what to do.
Would love to treat my mother, she is the absolute best. She is the glue that holds our family together and the light that brightens our day.
