Readers' Choice: Boast About Your Magnificent Mom!

Mothers are the angels of our lives. Let's hear their stories and honor them. There are local prizes, and one SoCal mom will win a $1,000 Visa Gift Card.

Mom and Me sounds like a movie, and though we're sure Meryl Streep or Glenn Close could do our mothers proud on the big screen, at the moment there's no such project in the works. However, Patch is looking for Mom and Me photos. Or Me and the Kids photos. Or Wife and Kids photos.

With Mother's Day about two weeks away, Patch is looking for Aliso Viejo's favorite mom, so we're asking our readers to submit Mom photos (including a kid) along with a few sentences in the caption box that tells why Mom is so special.

They are the angels of our lives. You're proud of your mom—let the community know about it.

Patch will create a poll and, as the photos come in, add names so that readers can vote.  You can also vote in the comments section below, and that vote will count as three votes.  

All we ask is that one of the people pictured be from our community; could be mom, could be the nominating kid.

Voting will continue through 2 p.m. on May 8—that's next Tuesday.

And yes, there is a prize. The top vote-getter will receive $50 toward a spa, floral, restaurant or shopping treat for mom.

Not only that, Patch will assemble more than two dozen local winners to be part of a second round of voting, with that winner to receive a $1,000 Visa Gift Card.

Let's hear about your magnificent mom; upload your story and photo.
