What are we doing for Mother's Day? We are celebrating our moms, of course. After all, it's their influence, nurturing, and unconditional love that set us on our paths in life.

To honor our moms, we did what any smart online media company would do: We made a slideshow! Click through to see a handful of GOOD employees' moms. Happy Mother's Day!

This is my mom (the little girl on the left), Jeanne.

She's my bestie. As a successful attorney, a loving mother, and a farmer and winemaker, she's been an incredible role model. I feel privileged to call this strong woman my mom.

The older I get, the more I see my mom is myself. I feel her in my gestures and hear her in my laugh. I over-emphasize things like she does. I'm stubborn like she is. At first these similarities freaked me out. Now I welcome them. I want to be more like her.
