| | |  J.K. Rowling inducted into Mommy Hall of Fame
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:
J.K. Rowling (Global Honoree) – Unemployed, suffering from depression and solely raising her infant daughter on state benefits, Rowling wrote a little book titled Harry Potter.

J.K.R is not a "Mommy," she's a Mummy  
Well done

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.

That's great!  Congrats Jo ^^
I really dunno how she made it though... To do so much while in depression that is.
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

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
