Shanan Jones

I don't know if I'm a super mom but taking care of my family is all I want to do. My family is what keeps me going.

We would like to thank you for supporting Shanan Jones 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?

Snuggles, every day my little (my granddaughter, who lives with me now) has to sit on my lap and gives me snuggles while we talk about our days together. I thought my time raising children was done, since my 2 boys are grown but God had other plans for me and my heart (AKA My hubby).

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

My boys and I did not always have an easy road, their father and I divorced after 10 years of an abusive marriage. Then several years later I met the man I should have been with all along. My oldest son great up to be a great man, he enlisted into the military and met his wife while serving. Before he left for boot camp, I asked him if he would need anything or is there anything I could get him. He told me no, he did not want to take from me. He did not want to be live his father. I loved that.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay down my dealt and take my whole family on a vacation so we can reconnect and spend time together. One of the things that make my heart sad these days is I only get to see my family once or maybe twice a year. I miss the day to day conversations and time spent with them. I'm sure may parents whose children are grown think this way.
