I can handle tantrums, sleepless nights, worries, and challenges while still trying to do my best each day for them.
We would like to thank you for supporting Heidi Peddle in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.
The unconditional love, the hugs, the kisses, watching them grow and develop their unique personalities and gain independence, and then experiencing the joy of watching them accomplish their dreams.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Motherhood has taught me how to be patient, embrace flexibility, and not to worry about making everything perfect. To stay present and enjoy the small moments, embrace the joy in the daily routine and let tomorrow handle itself. Motherhood requires you to adapt, set boundaries and then when they are ready, let them go.
What would you do with $20,000?I believe a mother needs to remember to nurture their own well-being so that they can be a better parent and partner to their spouse. Therefore, I would use some of the money to take a vacation with my husband to finally celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary that we did not get to celebrate in 2020 due to Covid pandemic and also our 30th wedding anniversary that we postponed celebrating due to my cancer diagnosis. The remainder of the money would be used to pay off medical debt.
