Voting is about to close for the 2016 Mom-Approved Awards!

Voting is open for just a few more days in the 2016 Mom-Approved Awards! Voting ends Monday, August 22nd!

Vote for your favorite mom-friendly businesses in Northwest Arkansas. (CLICK HERE to vote online!)

We know from personal experience that the best recommendations are from our fellow mamas. If you want to know where the best places are to eat, shop, get a haircut, buy a car or go to preschool, ask another mom. She’ll know where to send you for the best stuff from the friendliest people.

Moms are often the CES of the family (Chief Executive Shopper), which is why it’s important to have a list of some of the best stores and services in the area. Your votes will help other moms (especially those new to the area) make more informed decisions, and it’s also a great way to recognize those local businesses and service providers who know how to treat a mama right.

Another BIG perk? When you fill out the survey (CLICK HERE TO VOTE NOW) you’ll automatically be entered to win $350 in gift cards for the “Unique Boutique Shopping Spree.” We put together a list of some of our favorite places to shop, and each of those boutiques has contributed a gift card. We’ll choose a name (at random) and that voter will receive a total of $350 in gift cards to use at these participating boutiques: (Click the name of each shop to visit their online stores.)

Use your shopping spree to add some new things to your fall wardrobe or your home, or use it to get a jump on gift shopping before the holidays. You’re going to LOVE these one-of-a-kind shops.

The details: Cast your vote by August 20th. (It takes less than 5 minutes.) Be sure to complete at least 30 of the 35 categories in order to be eligible to win the Unique Boutique Shopping Spree. We always choose our winners at random using a random number generator, so anyone can win.

The award winners will be posted on nwaMotherlode.com in late August. We’ll also provide a downloadable list of the winning businesses that you can print and keep as a handy reference.

We’d love for you to tell your friends about the giveaway — or share it with those business owners you may be voting for. We’re sure they would love to know they’ve got your support!

We can’t wait to reveal your favorite businesses and announce the BIG WINNER of the Unique Boutique Shopping Spree. Thanks and good luck!
