Celeb moms honored by Cookie Magazine

Cookie magazine, a favorite of the CBB's since we were featured in their inaugural issue in 2005, has announced the winners of it's First Annual Smart Cookie Awards, awarded to mothers who have made a difference in the world for other women and children. Editor-in-chief Pilar Guzman says,

These amazing women have taken on vital issues that affect mothers and children worldwide, committing their time and resources to better the lives of total strangers. Their efforts to help those around them -- all while balancing the day-to-day challenges of being moms -- are truly awe-inspiring.

Among the honorees are five celeb mamas - model Liya Kebede, and actresses Mariska Hargitay, Cynthia Nixon, Sharon Stone, and Marcia Gay Harden, who is pictured below with her children - Eulala Grace, 8 1/2, and twins Julitta Dee and Hudson Harden, 3.

The women will be honored at an awards ceremony on April 30 at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City, hosted by CNN's Soledad O'Brien.
