Know an inspiring mom? Something tells us you do.

Know an inspiring mom? Something tells us you do.
I'm of the mindset that nearly every mom I know inspires me in some way. Even so, there are some that simply live in a way that is inspirational to many. That's why I'm so excited that our friends at mom-run Tea Collection have created the Inspiring Mom Awards--and equally excited that I get to be a judge, and give out a veddy veddy nice prize indeed.



[Click over and see what you could win...just for nominating someone!]

The Tea Collection Inspiring Mom Awards is intended to honor mothers in three categories: Entrepreneur, Making a Difference, and Globe Trotter. It's so perfect, considering Tea was founded by a globetrotting, difference-making, entrepreneurial mom herself who's totally dedicated to paying it forward.

Of course I'd like to nominate every single woman who's a part of Cool Mom Picks, but I'm not allowed. So you'll have to do the nominating.

Just click over to the Facebook page today (you've only got until 10/23) and fill out a simple form, telling us who you're nominating and why. The winner will get some really nice recognition, $1000 to the charity of her choice, and everyone nominating someone will be entered to win a $250 gift card to Tea.  

I'll be judging the mompreneur category along with Ali Wing of Giggle; while other judges include Jeannine Harvey of the ONE moms campaign, Special Ed teacher Marie Muscardini, Caren McCormack of Kilgoris Project, and Stella Ma of Little Passports.

Good luck mamas. And know that whatever the outcome, you're inspiring to someone! -Liz

Nominate someone for the Inspiring Mom Awards on the Tea Collection Facebook Page by October 23. You may win a $250 gift card yourself! See the page for all the details. Also check out the Inspiring Moms Pinterest board - we're contributing and there's a whole lot of inspiration there.
