PASADENA, CA May 11, 2008 –Soldiers’ Angels founder Patti Patton Bader was named “America’s Favorite Mom” in a primetime television show Sunday night on NBC.

AWTM’s post about being ’Spartan’ started me thinking...

I could be wrong. Indeed, I could.
And I want to believe. Indeed, I do.

Many thanks to Military OneSource and Sesame Workshop for continuing to support military families.
