Vote for the 2014 Jen Lisman Bunich Smarty Mom of the Year!
When I think of one person who epitomizes all things mommyhood, I think of Jen Bunich. In her two and a half short years as a new mommy, she embraced that role like no other. Jen immersed herself in all aspects of being a mother to her sweet Claire in her work, home life and play life.
On Saturday, January 3rd, we’ll crown one 2014 Smarty Mom the “Jennifer Lisman Bunich Smarty Mom of the Year” in honor of our favorite Smarty Mom ever.
Our Smarty Mom of the Year will be selected after Smarty Charlotte casts their votes! We selected 10 Smarty Moms based on a variety of reasons, whether it’s a mom who is making a difference in breast cancer awareness, one who is fighting for her life daily, one who is putting herself out there as a mompreneur, one who is feeding a country of hungry children, one who gives selflessly, or one who is just plain living the Smarty Mommy lifestyle. We love all of our Smarty Moms equally and it was hard to select just a few! The winner will receive a $100 gift card from our favorite spa, The Spa at Ballantyne.
