We would like to thank you for supporting Ashton Daugherty 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.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding is their smiling faces when they look out into the crowd and see me show up for them no matter what. Knowing they can count on me. That I am their safe place. That I am setting a good example for their futures and showing them what a mother should be and what a hard work ethic looks like to create a better future generation. That I am contributing to a better world that starts by setting examples through being a mother. Their hugs and love for the things I provide.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

I will never forget the day I married my husband and gained 2 more children making us a blended family of 7. That we just had the 7 of us in the wedding and my husband and I wrote our own vows and we each without knowing spoke to each kid individually in those vows. The look in each of their eyes in that moment knowing they could count on me to be a mom to all of them and that I’m going to be there for all of them no matter what. That I was chosen to be their mom! That moment made me whole!

What would you do with $20,000?

I will take my children on a great family vacation to make memories we will forever cherish. And I would take the rest and divide it between the 5 children’s account for cars and the oldest towards her college. As we have to buy 4 cars in 4 years as they are 8,9,10,11 and 20 years old.
