Moms have been inventing solutions for years – from eliminating the monster under our beds to creating a recipe that will incorporate broccoli into our diets. Some moms, however, have created inventions that have impacted our way of life. This Mother’s Day, May 11, Whirlpool brand will host the fourth annual Mother of Invention Grant Program.
