We would like to thank you for supporting Kristen Cole 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 part of being a mom is seeing my kids smile, knowing I’m their safe place no matter what. It’s the little things the hugs, the laughs, the “I love yous” at the end of a long day. Watching them grow and knowing I’m doing my best for them, even on the hard days, makes it all worth it. Their love keeps me going, and being their mama is the best job I’ve ever had.

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

One memory I’ll never forget is holding my child close after a tough day, both of us tired, but wrapped in love. In that quiet moment, with her head on my chest and her little hand in mine, I felt everything else fade away. Just us, safe and together and that’s all that mattered.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d make life a little easier for my family, cover medical needs for my daughter, maybe take a much-needed family trip, and invest in something that helps us grow, whether it’s our home or memories, It would be a mix of relief, joy, and setting us up for more peace and freedom.
