Surprise Your Mom This Mother's Day By Sharing Your Pics On Patch

We are celebrating Mother's Day by inviting readers to share their favorite mother-daughter or mother-son photos and messages on Patch.

Maybe you're the spitting image of your mom; maybe you share personality traits, hobbies or just a bond that can't be broken. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, Patch is celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers to share their favorite mother-daughter or mother-son photos and messages.

To post, visit your local Patch homepage, and you'll see a simple posting box at the top of the page (see the screenshot below) . Here at Patch, we're calling it "neighbor post." It's basically just a box where you can type your message to mom, add a fun photo and hit the "post" button, just like you would on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the rest — only the entire Patch community will be able to see it!

Send your mom the link by clicking on the time/ date it was posted, which can be found below your name on the post.

You can also use the new posting box to share your questions, alerts, recommendations, callouts, classifieds, local news stories or tips — whatever you think your neighbors, or your local Patch editor, should know about!
