BERKELEY, NJ— Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!

Here at Patch we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.

This submission comes from Dalton and Maddie who nominated Jillian Swider of Berkeley.

What makes your Mom extra special?

All of the love she gives to us each day. She cooks our favorite food. She lets us have our friends over, and when no friends are around, off to the park we go. Also, we think our mom is so pretty.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

Easy… she is smart, kind and important to us.

Happy Mother's Day to Jillian Swider, and thank you for all you do!
