We would like to thank you for supporting Marianne Krueger 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?

Watching my sons succeed, and knowing I raised such amazing human beings.

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

Walking down to the river with my sons; we walked along a tiny stream where grew a bunch of forget-me-nots that my sons picked for me, while each of them declared a memory with me they never wanted to forget. But their excitement over learning what the little blue flowers were, and then splashing through the water to pick me the flowers was by far my favorite part.

What would you do with $20,000?

I haven't once been on a vacation with my sons. Since their father left me it's been all I could do just to provide for them. Living paycheck to paycheck, my sons have never experienced a real trip anywhere other than the state we live in. We've never been on a plane, or done anything that was more than just a weekend trip. I would love to fly with my sons somewhere we can have a real vacation. Preferably the ocean, which none of us have seen before.
