We loved that you loved the
"SuperMom" Action Figure
we featured in our recent "Better than Barbie" Momorandum.
So much so, that it struck us that every superhero worth her weight in magic
powers needs at least one emblematic motto or sage saying, by which to live, or at least relate. "Supermom" being a super mom, there are of
course a range of options that could suit her many suits, so chose your favorite(s) of the quotes below. (Just outsource having them sewn onto
your cape). Continuing reading on for a
chance to WIN
a "Supermom" Action Figure of your
own...
Mottos (and Interesting Quotes) of
a SuperMom
 "Motherhood is like Albania-- you can't trust the descriptions in the books, you
have to go there." - Marni Jackson
"Never apologize to your
children for working.... And I learned this working in the news business, which
likes to cover children... but doesn't actually LIKE them all that much."
-
Cynthia McFadden
(at the 2009 Executive Moms Luncheon)
“If evolution really works, how come
mothers only have two hands?” - Milton Berle
“I know how to do anything - I'm a Mom.” - Roseanne Barr
“You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a
merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents
will always wave back.” - William D. Tammeu
“The phrase ‘working mother’ is
redundant.” -
Jane Sellman
"Like all working mothers,
sometimes I feel like a terrible mother and sometimes I feel like a terrible
employee. But for the most part, I try to give myself a break, which is
something I urge all mothers to do - to live your life with a cloud of guilt
about everything you are doing is just not good for anybody." -
Katie Couric
"When you're able to identify your passions, then your child will be able to
identify theirs." - Amanda Peet
"[My work] gives me something to talk about at dinner. That can't be
underrated, really. A lot of the mom struggle in life is that everything
happens within the four walls of the home, and it can lose its luster a
little bit. You just have to bring it in from outside some of the time."
- Julia Roberts
"Working mothers are guinea pigs in a scientific experiment to show that sleep
is not necessary to human life." - Author Unknown
“There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one”
- Jill Churchill
Win A "SuperMom" of Your Own
As we shared with you
recently, this crazily
busy mini plastic mommy comes equipped with 8
accessories of mommy might
that magically allow her to morph between home mode and
career mode. Those accessories include a super
long to-do list, a magical mommy bag, work shoes and casual shoes...
and for ultimate action hero fun, SuperMom comes with
two heads (one calm, one
frazzled) - so it's easy to go back and forth. Now
we're giving one SuperMom doll away,
to one of our own real-life Super Moms. We'll pick one random winner; to

Executive Moms Network, and

there is no more Super Mom than an Executive Mom.
