About FV Sophia
Okay I am really crappy at remembering real peoples names, much less characters names. But I love the Mum Lauren Dane's Samhain series The Chase family.
Bella from Black Dagger Brotherhood is the first that comes to mine – since that is the book series that is one my mine right now…
Sandra Bullock's character, Leigh Anne Tuohy in the Blindside. Just watched this movie with the kids. So touching!
Believe it or not, I'm a child of 80's t.v. and I always wished Claire Huxtible from the Cosby Show and Elise Keaton from Family Ties were my mom. I'm so pathetic that my daughter is named Claire Elyse.
I gotta go with Marge Simpson. She deals with all that Springfield craziness with grace and charm. And even though she is the mother of three, she's so hot, she's been in both Playboy and Maxim. With no plastic surgery! And she's an artist. And cook. And so much more. Marge Simpson rocks.
I'm going to show my redneck roots here but I have to go with Rosanne. She makes you laugh and doesn't take any BS.
Great idea for Mother's Day! Thanks for hosting it!
My favorite TV Mom id Lorelei from Gilmore girls. She's dedicated to her daughter, has quite a "cheeky" attitude and seems like she'd be a lot of fun to hang around with!
Thanks again!

I like Ellen Robillard O'Hara, from the book Gone with the Wind. You have to read the book to appreciate Ellen. She is strong, capable, intelligent and devoted. Her family disapproves of the man she wants to marry and they drive him away. He is killed and she is first broken-hearted, then angry. She gives her parents a choice. She will join the convent or she will marry the wealthy and much older Gerald O'Hara. After marriage, she moves away and becomes mother to Scarlett and her sisters and mistress to Tara and all that entails. You really should read it.
My favorite fictional mom is Lorelei Gilmore from the Gilmore Girls. I LOVE her!! I also want to live in Stars Hollow – and marry Luke.
Fictionally, of course
My favorite is Lynette from Desperate Housewives. She adores her kids and will do anything for them.

In Elaine Levine's book Audrey and the Maveric, Audrey took in foster children and she was an awesome mom! She treated the kids like her own!

Ilsa Campbell-MacEnroy from Hannah Howell's Highland Groom. Her husband up and disapears for almost a year. During that lonely year she carries and delivers his twin boys. Then she goes and finds him only to find him at the alter with another woman due to a horrid memory loss. Still, she takes her man back, and accepts his 8 illegimate children, who might or might not actually be his. Now that is an awesome mother for you. Taking care of your own, your husband, and 8 other little ones who aren't even yours.

My favorite fictional mom is Tamsyn from Nalini Singh's Psy/Changling series. I love her strength as a woman and how she stands up to her mate. I also love her fun and loving personality, especially the scenes with her children. They're such wonderful scenes to read.

Best fictional mom…Moll Flanders! Haha, just kidding. Maybe the mum from the Little House books.

Mrs Weasley from Harry Potter LOL. Love her!
favorite fictional mom is Lorelei Gilmore.She would be such a cool mom to have. I loved that show,its still one of my favorites.
elaing8(at)netscape(dot)net
I've recently started watching The Gilmore Girls and I think Lorelei is a great mother. She and her daughter can talk about anything together and they always have so much fun. I love that closeness.

I loved Jodi Foster in Flightplan and Panic Room. In both movies she was doing everything she could to find her child and/or keep her child safe.
I like Faythe's mom from Rachel Vincent's werecat series. Behind those pearls and twinsets is one tough lady, and watch out if one of her cubs is threatened!
Best fictional Mom?
Book Series – Molly Weasley from Harry Potter
Movie – Helen Parr / Elastigirl from The Incredibles
TV – Mrs. Brady from Brady Bunch
Best (eventual) Stepmom – Maria from Sound of Music
I'd say the mom in the 'Blind Side'
Love this one and it is so easy to answer who my favorite fictional mom is because that would be Mrs Cunningham from Happy Days. Mama Marion comes across as the total ditz and is so loveably portrayed by Marion Ross that she was a joy to watch as Ritchie and Joanie's mom in the TV show. I also loved her caring for and the bond between her and "The Fonz" Henry Winkler…

Fave fictional mom : Marge Simpson
Reason : b/c I've been watching her since I was like 7/8 years old and she is soo understanding and let's face it…she has to deal with Homer all the time and has managed to still keep her sanity.
hugs,
Anna

This is such a wonderful idea!!
I'm probably dating myself but for me my favorite mother is TV mom, June Cleaver of the TV show: Leave It To Beaver.
She never raised her voice, she only frowned when she was stern or was concerned over something, she always had milk and cookies on hand, and absolutely looked fabulous in her pearls!! LOL, I thought every mom was suppose to be like her. Boy, was Beaver and Wally lucky boys.
My favorite fictional mom would be Samantha on Bewitched. Life was never boring in that household.

I would have to say Roseanne Connor because she was more like a REAL mom than June Cleaver or Carol Brady.
kzupancic[at]yahoo[dot]com
Oh wow, the only fiction parents I can think of is the Walsh's mom on 90210 (the first series). I know I just dated myself. *sigh*
The parents from the Spy Kid movies are cool. And no, I have never seen a whole movie.
Betsy's mom from the Undead series by MaryJanice Davidson is AWESOME! She is my very favorite.

my fave Mother is Samantha from Bewitched!!! How cool to have a witch for a MOM
dsublady at aol dot com
Marge Simpson for sure.

Leigh Anne Tuohy, the character Sandra Bullock portrayed in the Blindside. She is one classy Mom. To take in a teenager of another race and then adopt him. She is awesome and I applaud her.
I also liked Shirley Jones with her band family. She was neat to me.

I've got to be honest, I don't have a favorite fictional mom. I don't watch a lot of TV and the heroines I read about are without a mother, lol!
Thanks,

Another vote for Lorelei Gilmore, she's the coolest Mom!
delilah0180(at)yahoo(dot)com

Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy!! She and Ethel were always cooking up some kind of scheme and getting into trouble!! Always good for a laugh..
mlawson17 at hotmail dot com
I have to say Helen Plum from Janet Evanovitch's Stephanie Plum series.
This woman cracks me UP! Shes always trying to hook Steph up with some dork or try to contain her own mother (Grandma Muzur) from shooting people! Oh did I mention when shes stressed she either drinks or irons!?!?! lol This woman deserves more credit than she gets! lol
I love Marge Simpson. Without a doubt, she's my favorite favorite favorite fictional character. I know she's not from a book, but I just watched the Simpsons this morning and remembered all the great adventures she has had while having a crazy crazy family….and a baby that never grows up!
Thank you for counting me in, I'm really crossing my fingers!!!!
rachie2004 @ yahoo (d0t) com
Hands down, Mrs C from Happy Days. She was always there for her family and their friends.
Also love the mom from Castle, life with her would never be boring!
A tie between Claire from Outlander and Melinda Monroe from Virgin River. Both are nurses which is my dream. Both are huge into the holistic side of mothering and birthing. Both really enjoy being mothers and helping others be good mothers. They both make my heart sing when I think of them.

My favorite fictional character mother is…. Stephanie Plum's mother from Janet Evanovich!!!!
Please count me in!!!!!
Thanks for the chance honey!!!
My favorite fictional mom is the mom from Growing Pains. Carol Seaver. I always felt she was very understanding.
My favorite fictional mom is Violet Bridgerton from Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Series. She is so supportive of all her children and she has a great relationship with all of them. She is welcoming and mischievous. One think I love is that she made a list of eligible men/woman for a few of her children to encourage them to marry.
Mine favorite fictional mom is Carol Brady. She was the perfect mom and stepmom to her kids.
kerrie@mayansfamily.com
My fave mom is Rochelle from the 'Everybody Hates Chris' TV show. She is mega-funny and so like my own mom.
My favorite fictional mom is Forrest Gump's mom. Everything about her is appealing, from having sex with the principal so her son can go to mainstream school to always believing in him.
My favorite mom would be rosanne I loved that show she seemed like a real mom I lvoed her wittiness and sarcasm.
My favorite is Samantha from BEWITCHED. I, also, like Sandra Bullock's character in THE BLINDSIDE.
marlenebreakfield(at)yahoo(dot)com
I like Nancy Botwin from Weeds. She just cracks me up.

My favorite mom would be Paola Franco, played by Jaqueline Bisset, in the movie Dangerous Beauty. A story set in 16th century Venice. Paola's daughter falls in love with a senator who cannot marry her due to social status. Paola decides the best life for her daughter is to become a courtesan so she can enjoy the privileges that come along with that role. She is her daughter's teacher.

My favorite fictional mom in a novel is Lanie Coates from Everyone is Beautiful by Katherine Center. I read it last year and loved her strengths and flaws and how she grew through the novel.
I'd say the character Sandra Bullock played from The Blind Side. Great acting, great story.
TJB
Argh. Forgot to add why. I love the fact that Sandra Bullock's character is so self-assured, yet so sensitive to the plight of others. She kicks butt and yet has a heart.
TJB
I've been trying to think of a fictional mom all week but, honestly. The books I read don't have mothers in them & the only TV mom I can think of that I "know" is Marge Simpson! OK, my favorite TV Mom is Marge Simpson. She's smart, funny, and puts up with Homer & Bart & doesn't go insane. Plus, she's been in Playboy. (I think that was the one?)Gotta love a mom that's been on TV twenty years & is still woman enough to appear in the pages of a girly mag!
gevin13{at}gmail{dot}com
Hmmm…. My favorite fictional mom would be Lorelai from Gilmore Girls. She's protective over her daughter, as every mom should be, but she also understands that her daughter is smart enough to make her own choices.
My moms also like that, and I'm thankful. Well, for the most part anyway…
Thanks for the giveaway!
Love, Hannah

I have to say Lorelei Gilmore. She takes such an interest in Rory and is always there for her.
