we love you, mom! Contest

Congrats to our winner: Liz Jalbert

The story submitted by Liz's husband received 64 votes:

“My favorite Mom is my beautiful wife, Liz, and the mother of our 20-month-old daughter, Ciara. We are residents of East Boston and have been members of the Y since we moved to East Boston in 2009. Liz has been the biggest reason why being new parents has been such an amazing experience, and Ciara has been the perfect baby. Liz stayed home with Ciara and raised her until she got a new job when Ciara was 8 months old. That transition back to work was not easy on anyone, but she was a trooper and made it look easy. Maintaining her health was very important, and Liz has not missed a beat in her workouts as a new Mom. She looks amazing and has the energy after work to feed the family and play with Ciara until putting her to bed.

The best news of all is Ciara will become a big sister to her baby brother, due in September. We are all very excited about the new addition, but know it will come with additional sacrifices and expenses! I think Liz is the world's best Mom and our daughter, Ciara, brings us complete happiness each and every day. I love Ciara's Mom with all my being and truly feel she is so deserving of this YMCA Relax and Renew package!”
