To celebrate Mother's Day (May 11th in the U.S.) Chief Parenting have compiled a list of 10 Successful Women and Exemplary Mothers with the intention of inducting them into its Chief Mommy Officer Hall of Fame - J.K.Rowling has been included.
Candidates were chosen, "...from a variety of professions and represent a diverse group of accomplished mothers." They have, "...achieved greatness in their respective careers, while simultaneously maintaining their roles as exemplary mothers."
As only living American mothers are eligible, Rowling has been cited as an honorary 'global' inductee. Quote:

Well done That's true but this is an American list so... Quote:

Or ma, or mam, or mama or mammy. There are loads of variations. Quote:
Mother's Day is a wonderful holiday solely propagated by the greeting card/jewelry industry.
Which is why I never buy mine a card for it. I prefer to give her a gift and/or spend time together. | |

It's funny. I'm not even from the UK & I like the word Mum & Mummy better. I think it's cute
But yes, congratulations to Joanne! They had to include her, see, even if she didn't live in the US.
& That quote, that said she wrote a little book called Harry Potter, it made me get the chills <3 | |
