* Who are you nominating as the Ultamate Mom?: Jennifer Kehring
* Your relationship with her? My Older sister

I'm nominating my Sister Jenny...she is without a doubt a great mentor and a wonderful mom. She has two beautiful children, whom she gives the world to. The only problem is no one can give the world to her. She has put her life on hold, put her completing college on hold and outside work, to take care of her kids full time. Normally that is what most Moms’ do when taking care of their children; however she has a very special little boy at home, who needs a lot of extra care. Nicholas has very specific diet and behavioral needs. The day he was born was the best day of Jenny's life and for all of us too, but
from that day forward she hasn't had a full nights rest and a day to herself without the demands of Nicholas. She is consumed with research to find what it is she can do to help Nicholas feel better, from cooking all natural/home-made foods, to special vitamins and probotics. All of that has taken a toll on how Jenny views herself. Her lack of sleep has deprived her the energy to feel sexy and youthful. She has low self esteem and lack of personal care. She cares only for what is now so relevant in life and she truly proves that you will do what you have to do for your children and all else in life is unimportant.

I know that a day of Beauty at the Ulta Spa would make Jenny feel both beautiful on the outside, as she is on the inside. She would benefit from a day of being pampered, to know that she is still a beautiful, youthful, wonderful Mom/Sister/Companion and person, to not only her younger sister, but also to the two beautiful children she brought into this world.
