Each month, Mommy Power will spotlight one mother who inspires us and deserves to be recognized.
There are no set qualifications to be Mommy of the Month—just someone who stands out to us and whose story should be shared with the rest of us. She can be someone in the public spotlight, or just a regular mommy like you and me. We just need to be inspired! If you think that you should be Mommy of the Month, or know someone who should be, we would love to hear the story. Contact us to tell us about it!
April 2009 Mommy of the Month – Michelle Obama

First Lady (aka - First Mom, Mommy in Chief)
How can our current first lady not be our first official Mommy of the Month? She is an inspiration to millions of mothers. Her responsibilities are first and foremost to her children and family. She has the enormous task of providing a level of normalcy for her children in such a surreal environment. She has instructed the White House staff not to make her children’s beds and to do limited cleaning in their rooms because the girls are still required to do their daily chores. Homework, bedtimes, and other daily rituals of a child’s life are non-negotiable for Malia and Sasha. With the eyes of the world focused on her family, Michelle Obama protects the privacy and primacy of the First Family. She is a mommy we can all truly be proud of!
