The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my kids succeed. Watching them grow, overcome challenges, and chase their dreams brings me so much joy. Knowing that I’ve played a part in shaping their confidence, values, and resilience makes every sacrifice worth it. Their happiness and achievements mean more to me than anything, and seeing them thrive is the greatest reward of all.

With six kids, the memories are countless, but one I’ll never forget is how they took care of me while I had cancer. They decorated the tree, wrapped presents, cooked dinner—one of my daughters even walked over a mile with a wagon to buy groceries. They never complained, just stepped up with love and strength beyond their years. That Christmas wasn’t about gifts, but about the greatest blessing of all—the incredible kids I get to call mine.

If I win, I’d take my family on another unforgettable adventure. Our Christmas trip to Mexico—where we ran through a downpour, soaked but laughing, and sang carols on a bus—was proof that the best memories aren’t in gifts but in shared experiences. As a mom, I’ve worked hard to provide for my kids, and this would let me give them another priceless adventure, showing them that love, laughter, and time together are what truly matter.
