We would like to thank you for supporting Elizabeth Martinez 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?

It’s the joy of coming back from work and seeing their little smiley faces knowing that everything I do is for them and their well being. Seeing them run to me for hugs, kisses and laughs… Being awarded a piece of their hard work when they give me a “You’re the best mom” or “I love you” drawings, letters, cards. And having the honor to kissing their little knees, fingers or foreheads when they hit themselves and I am the reason they feel better because “mommy is always here”..

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

I will never forget the feeling of uncertainty, fear and profound love when I leaned they were growing inside of me. Shaking off all my fears when they kicked my belly while I was singing for them in the shower, and holding them tightly when I saw them for the first time. So many memories, mostly happy and exciting, some serious and a few sad, but thats the charm about motherhood, we get them all from the very beginning.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would make a fund for their future. I would also use some of that towards a house and I would take them on a nice little vacation/adventure. They’ve always wanted to go to Great wolf Lodge so that would probably be the place where I would take them.
