2012 Mom’s Choice Award Winners Announced!

06/01/2012 nwamamas

When we launched the first-ever Mom’s Choice Awards, in partnership with Kid’s Directory of Northwest Arkansas, we had no idea we’d be swamped with more than 19,000 votes! It’s incredible. The lesson here is: When you want good opinions, ask a lot of mamas!

This massive collection of preferences has resulted in the 2012 Mom’s Choice Award winners. There is a winner and a runner-up from Washington County and from Benton County  in 35 categories, as determined by votes submitted by the readers of Motherlode and of Kid’s Directory.

Feel free to save this link or print out the list so you can refer to it year-round. That way you’ll always know which business to check out when you need a mom-friendly company in Northwest Arkansas. We’ll be writing about several of these Mom’s Choice Award winners during the next few months so you can learn more about them and what they offer.

Without further adieu, here’s the list. Congrats to all the winning businesses!
