Jennifer Garner's constant doting on Violet, Seraphina and baby Samuel hasn't gone unnoticed. 

Ben Affleck's wife was voted 2012's Celebrity Mom of the Year by TodaysParent.com. The 40-year-old Alias star won by "a landslide" according to the site, although Reese Withersoon, Beyoncé, Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba  also got some votes for their parenting style. 

The site praises Jen for focusing on being healthy (she's often spotted at the farmers' market with her kids), stepping out in public before she shed her baby weight and being honest about facing challenges as a parent. 

Reese, Bey and J.Simp were all lauded for spending so much time with their little ones, while Jessica Alba was applauded for starting The Honest Company and its commitment to wholesome family products. 

Personally, we'd like to throw in some honorable mentions for Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham and Giuliana Rancic
