And the Winners of the Patch Mother's Day Contest Are ...

It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it. Two Patch editors and a representative from Amato Salon and Spa name the top three entries in Patch's 'Mommy Needs a Makeover' contest.

After weeks of our 'Mommy Needs a Makeover' contest, the Patch panel of judges was left with the daunting task of choosing a grand prize winner.  After much deliberation and a few "aww's", some sniffles and a bunch of tissues, the judges narrowed it down to the top three.  1st Place, Winner of a salon and spa package valued at $450, (courtesy of Amato Hair Design in Tinley Park): Kerry Nolan, on behalf of Mary Nolan  Here's what Kerry had to say about her mom, Mary.   My mom (Mary Nolan) has been my rock for my entire life – and my sister’s, and my brother’s, and her siblings…

Thoughtful Mother's Day Gifts Are Not Impossible

Find your way to better gift ideas for that special lady you call Mom, thanks to the Patch Moms Council.

Moms can be so difficult, especially when Mother's Day looms and you receive the quintessential "I would just like us all to be together" answer when you ask her what she would like.

We asked our Moms Council members to share their ideas for gifts in a variety of areas with the hope that their suggestions might help kids young and old choose or create something meaningful. There's sure to be something even for the most politically correct mom who claims to want nothing more than "togetherness."  What Does Mom Like?
