Here's a rundown of the many exciting happenings on Hawaii MomsLikeMe.com:

MOMS HALL OF FAME

If you know a hard-working, caring, accomplished mom, you'll want to nominate her for our Moms Hall of Fame contest.

Visit Hawaii.MomsLikeMe .com and look for the contest link on the home page. Submit an essay of up to 50 words, plus a picture of the nominee, to our contest gallery.

Five moms will be named winners on May 10, Mother's Day. McDonald's of Hawaii is the prize sponsor. Deadline to submit entries is April 19.

BARAQUIOS LIVE CHAT

Supermoms and sisters Angela Perez Baraquio Grey and Bernadette Baraquio Hamada will hold a live chat at 10 a.m. April 14 on Hawaii Moms LikeMe.com.

The two are hosts of "Living Local with the Baraquios" on OC16. Angela, a former Miss America, is a teacher in California and runs an entertainment company and a nonprofit foundation. Bernadette is an award-winning TV producer, and a former KHON2 news anchor. They'll talk about how they balance motherhood with work.
