Hey, children of all ages! Think you have the best mom in the world? Tell us why in 250 words or less, and it could be featured in the Mother’s Day edition of the Lawrence Journal-World and on LJWorld.com.

We’re looking for short essays, poems and anecdotes about why your mom is so great, giving specific examples of what makes her a No. 1 mom.

Entries can be submitted to go@ljworld.com or mail them to Jon Ralston at 645 New Hampshire St., Lawrence, KS 66044. Deadline for entries is Monday, May 7. Some of the entries will appear in the Journal-World, and all of them will be posted at www.ljworld.com.
