Brittany Grant

Dear Suwanee Magazine, Brittany Grant puts up with a lot, and she does it in style. If the best mom in Suwanee is one who has changed diapers every day for nine years, driven four fighting brothers to school and sports mostly against their will, and volunteered in almost every capacity to support her community, then you better believe she’s top 10 material. Factor in disastrous pediatric dentistry trips, resolving daily drag-out fights over inconceivably insignificant minutiae, and cooking then subsequently throwing away perfectly good kids’ dinners, and she’s top five. Add a cross country minivan trip complete with customized boy activity and snack packs for 10 days and she’s top three. But then if you really dig deep and consider she has almost single-handedly built and sustained the magic of Christmas, birthdays, and every other holiday to make four boys' lives magical, she’s an undisputed number one.

There’s so much in the life and work of motherhood that can be written off as mundane or can be glossed over or ignored, as kids won’t know what they’re missing. When it comes to the game of motherhood, Brittany Grant plays every down. On the brink of madness that accompanies such parental effort, she always maintains her dry wit about her. For this and so much more, she deserves to be recognized as the best mom in Suwanee.

Special Thanks To All Our 2023 Sponsors:

In honor of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, we wanted to celebrate the moms and dads in our community, so we asked some of our readers (and Suwanee Magazine staffers) to submit their family photos to be included in this issue. We love seeing smiling faces and we’re excited to highlight these beautiful families, especially the parents who selflessly give their all to their children. Plus, who doesn’t love a beautiful family photo?! Thank you to all the local moms and dads for all that you do!

School’s out and the kids are getting antsy, so it’s time to plan some summer adventures! For this year’s Summer Adventure Guide, we’ve listed a number of ways to explore adventures near and far (how about 14,000 feet in the air?!) that are fun for the whole family. From kayaking and ziplines to mingling with dinosaurs and royalty, our guide has something for everyone. Summer is here, so make the most of it!
