Working Moms Go Viral

… And I’m not talking about Swine Flu.
MomsRising.org is spreading a virus . .. it’s their "Mother of the Year Award" video, and I got one! Hooray for me! Mom of the year!

Does it matter that every other working mom is also receiving the "Mother of the Year Award" too? Heck no, I think we’ve all earned it….

MomsRising.org has created a terrific video in appreciation of all the amazing mothers everywhere. It allows you–and anyone you know–to embed the name of any mother as the winner of the 2009 Mother of the Year award – and the award is then announced online in a faux newscast video that is really funny!

Check out the video at: http://news.cnnbcvideo.com/index2.html

If you haven’t seen the video already, go click the above link to take a peek.

Send the video to moms you know!

Write in the names of all your favorite mothers and send it to them so that they can be congratulated by President Obama, celebrated by Hollywood stars, praised by a remarkably articulate baby, and more. And remember to check out the text crawl under the newscast. There’s a little educational content that you’re sure to appreciate.

Thanks to colleague Nanette Fondas and all at MomsRising.org for the chance to share what we know is true — (1) Every mom is a full-time mom, and (2) Every mom is a working mom.
