#WorkingMomWednesday lets us put a spotlight on some of the special women in our community.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Thank you, Mom!

When's the last time you did something special for your mother, wife or any other woman in your life? 

Well, each Wednesday the 13 ON YOUR SIDE Morning crew wants to help you say "thank you" by highlighting the hardworking woman in your life. We're calling it #WorkingMomWednesday.

Nominate your mom, friend, or coworker by sharing a picture and their story to our Facebook, Twitter or with #WorkingMomWednesday and #UpWith13.

We want to highlight special women in the community. Post a photo and tell us why your hardworking mother is so awesome -- that way we can feature it on 13 ON YOUR SIDE Mornings this Wednesday! ❤️
