Leave it to Mott’s to create the perfect recipe for a luxurious Mother’s Day while delivering meals to children in need and raising awareness of the 36 million Americans who currently live at risk of hunger in our nation.  The Wake-up Call Campaign is designed to “wake up” Americans to the prevalence of hunger in our own country. Mott’s is joined in this effort by Emmy-nominated actress Marcia Cross, and the nation’s largest hunger relief organization, Feeding America and together, they will provide one million meals to needy American children and their families this year. Here’s the best part; We can help. Go to Motts.com and send a celebrity wake-up call (from Marcia Cross!) to yourself or a friend, for free.

For each wake-up call placed, Mott’s donates one dollar to Feeding America and that dollar will provide more than seven healthy meals distributed via Feeding America’s network of partner food banks across the United States.  “I’m humbled and proud to be working with Mott’s to literally wake up America to the fight against hunger and help people get a healthy start to the day,” said Cross. “As a mother, I am saddened by the number of families who go hungry in our country. I hope people will hear our message and help us make a difference by placing their own call today at Motts.com.

While Feeding America currently feeds nine million of these children, many also rely on free or reduced price lunches at school during the week. However, getting food to an at-risk child on the weekends and during the summer remains a challenge, especially as many food banks experience a sharp decline in donations post-holiday season.

The Mott’s Wake-Up Call program has a goal of helping to raise awareness for the issue of hunger, providing meals to children and families who need them and encouraging food bank donations during the important spring and summer months.

Congratulations to Vicki W. of Fargo, North Dakota, winner of a fabulous Sugar & Spice tee,  and Kari F. of Wolcott, NY who chose the Snips N Snails Jersey Tee from Crib Rock Couture & Decor in partnership with the uberhip baby blog www.Totsnob.com. 

In order to win the Crib Rock garment of their choice, Tot Snob asked it’s readership to ”Explain what ‘The Cat and the Fiddle‘ rhyme means.”  The responses were both numerous and humorous.  Seriously, we love the Tot Snob readers. Here are some of the more colorful excerpts:

Cheryl:  “Maybe the home of the author is a complete mess and the animals were knocking dishes and spoons and silverware all over the place…a moment of complete chaos which the author ended up finding funny later and put it into verse. Probably not, but who knows.”

Gina: “Maybe it’s like the lyrics to Louie, Louie….. it’s not meant to be understood.”

Bob: “I think someone was munching magic mushrooms when they came up with that one. It makes as much sense as some of the Beatles lyrics.”

Casey: “My cat is always stealing my daughter’s toys, Im thinking that stupid cat in the nursery rhyme was messing around with someone’s fiddle and it got put somewhere… I don’t know. I’m totally making stuff up now.  These freakin shirts are too cute. I’m loving them and I cant decide which ones I like best!!”

 Paula H: “The cat and the fiddle is about a party in the moonlight. I need a shirt for my 3 yr. old girl. Finally, shirts that are as cool as she is.”
