Walmart’s Mom of the Year Award!

In the still darkness of the night, rocking my first born baby boy back to sleep in his nursery, I still clearly remember thinking “Did my mom love me like this?”. It honestly didn’t seem possible for anyone else in the world to love another person like I loved my son. Of course, I use the word ‘clearly’ fairly loosely because we all know that in that sleep reduced fog of new motherhood, there are few clear thoughts! 


Truth is, that feeling never stops! Almost 8 years later and two more boys added to the family and my heart still swells when I look at my boys. All moms know the feeling but we each express our love in unique and different ways!

Mom of the Year!

Two years ago, Walmart Canada started the Mom of the Year program to celebrate the amazing Moms across this great country, and they were overwhelmed by all the stories of love, compassion, and support that poured in! Who doesn’t know a fantastic mom right?? 

This year they are doing it all again, and you have your chance to nominate a special mom in your life! 

New in 2014, Walmart will honour six Mom of the Year recipients. One mom will be selected by the Committee for each of the following five categories:

  • Environmental Superstar
  • Community Champion
  • Smart Saver
  • Loving Caregiver
  • Everyday Hero

The sixth mom will be the My Finalist recipient, selected by public vote from 20 finalists.

Mom of the Year is not just bragging rights!

Canadians will have the chance to review the top 20 candidates and vote for one mom they want to see become one of the six finalists! Each finalist will receive $10,000 to spend on themselves and $10,000 for the charity or cause of their choice. Finalists that are not selected for a Mom of the Year title will receive $500 for themselves and $500 for the charity of their choice. Pretty amazing right?

 To nominate a mom you love, go to www.walmart.ca/mom and click on ‘Nominate Her’, then simply tell Walmart what makes the mom you picked so incredible! Every Mom of the Year nominee gets a profile page that can be shared with her friends and family. Her loved ones can add their own heart-warming comments, making it more like a tribute page where she can see how loved and appreciated she really is!

Nominations will be accepted until May 23, 2014! Time to tell the world about a Rock-Star Mom you know!
