ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2012.
Last month P&G asked if I wanted to be a part of a their Thank You Mom campaign for the 2012 Olympic Games. I don’t do a lot of sponsored content on my blog, but being a part of a series whose main goal is to honor moms? I’m all about that. P&G wanted create a movement that recognizes motherhood as the hardest, but, best job, in the world. It’s a bit ironic, given the recent news coverage of Hilary Rosen’s comment about Ann Romney, and the record scratch heard the world over as moms declared that they are indeed working, too. Whether it is stumbling out of bed each morning to get kids fed, doing loads and loads of laundry, juggling practice times, or caring for a child’s injuries, one thing is universally true for all mothers on every continent: while being a mom may be the toughest job in the world, it also is the most rewarding job in the world. Below is the first spot for this year’s Thank You Mom campaign, and I think it captures perfectly the hard work that moms do. But you might want to grab a tissue first. This post was sponsored by P&G. P&G is the Proud Sponsor of Moms, not just the moms of athletes, but ALL moms around the world. Join P&G in thanking your mom by sharing this video with her. In addition, for each person who likes the Thank You Mom facebook page, P&G will donate $1 to the USOC P&G|Team USA Youth Sports fund, up to $100,000. This is part of a $5MM global commitment P&G has made to support local youth sports in many countries.
