momschoice2

When we launched the first-ever Mom’s Choice Awards, in partnership with Kid’s Directory of Northwest Arkansas, last year we had lots of votes. This year, we DOUBLED that number. That means you have TONS of wisdom in this huge collection of “best” 2013 Mom’s Choice Award winners.

In this list you’ll find a winner and a runner-up from Washington County and from Benton County  in 38 categories, as determined by votes submitted by the readers of Motherlode and of Kid’s Directory.

Be sure 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!
