    I am five feet, three inches tall and pleasingly plump. After I had a minor accident, my mother accompanied me to the emergency room. The ER nurse asked for my height and weight, and I blurted out, "Five-foot-eight, 125 pounds."

    While the nurse pondered over this information, my mother leaned over to me. "Sweetheart," she gently chided, "this is not the Internet."

    Good Morning America's Mothers of Invention Challenge sponsored by our alliance partner, Mom Inventors, is finally coming to a close. We have gotten lots of fantastic entries, and we can't wait to tell you who the top-three finalists are. Due to a timing change, we will announce these winners on "GMA Weekend" on Saturday, Sept. 3. On that day, viewers can go to Good Morning America's Website to vote on who they think should be the next mom inventor and the next Mom Invented product.

     

    Please note that you will only have one day to vote because we will be announcing the winning mom live on the show the following day, Sunday, Sept. 4th

     
    Mommy Wage Gap has come to the forefront of issues this summer. We have the article from Carol Kleiman of the Chicago Tribune on our site. Read it and then take this month's survey.
