Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

With Mother's Day about two weeks away, the website missionviejo.patch.com is looking for "Mom and Me," "Me and the Kids," or "Wife and Kids" photos.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, CA (Catholic Online) - Being two week's away from Mother's Day, the website is looking for Mission Viejo's favorite mom, so they are asking any of their readers to submit Mom photos, along with a few sentences telling why Mom is so special.

Mothers are the angels of our lives. If you're proud of your mom, let the community know.

The website will create a poll and add names, as photos come in, so readers can vote. If readers vote in the comment section, the vote will count as three votes. Also there is a prize. The top winner will receive $50 toward a spa, floral, restaurant, or shopping spree for mom. In addition, the website will assemble more than two dozen local winners to be part of a second round of voting, with that winner receiving a $1,000 Visa Gift card.

Let's hear about your magnificent mom; upload your story and photo at http://missionviejo.patch.com/articles/readers-choice-boast-about-your-magnificent-mom-9927908b
