2022 S.M.I.L.E. Awards

As part of Momivate's celebration of International Women's Day, we honored five women as the first ever recipients of our S.M.I.L.E. awards. 
One of our goals at Momivate is to give every mom a S.M.I.L.E. --

S - Support
M - Music
I - Inspiration
L - Laughter
E - Education

The S.M.I.L.E. award recipients, listed below, have worked to bless the mothering community in these ways. We're so grateful for the sacrifices they've made as they've developed and proffered their talents and skills in these areas. We honor them for how they've empowered countless mothers to individually elevate their own mothering experiences.
