I’m a super mom because I nurture my family, create meaningful moments, and balance it all with love and purpose, showing up every day.
We would like to thank you for supporting Anique Russell in this year's Super Mom competition. Your participation allows us to aid Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in their commitment to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
The most rewarding part of motherhood, hands down, is watching my children grow. It might sound cliché, but there’s nothing like witnessing who they’re becoming year after year. Along the way, I’ve also learned patience—and in the process, I’m discovering so much about who I am, too.
What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?I’ll never forget the way my 11- and 5-year-old cared for me after I gave birth to their baby sibling via an unexpected emergency C-section. In those tender moments, they showed a level of kindness, responsibility, and thoughtfulness far beyond their years. Watching them step up with so much love reminded me just how deeply connected we are—and how much beauty lives in the small, selfless things.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, I’d finally complete my woman-cave—a space just for me to rest, reset, and take my “me time” seriously. I’d also start planning the family trip of a lifetime to Japan for my son’s 13th birthday, a dream he’s been holding onto. And I’d give our bathroom a much-needed refresh, turning it into a little sanctuary of peace.
