It’s not doing everything perfectly (who does). It’s showing up consistently, even when you’re exhausted, overstimulated or overwhelmed.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lauren Barnholdt 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.
Watching your child become their own little person. The first time they laugh at something you didn’t teach them, or when they reach for you because you are their safe place—that’s the kind of reward that hits deeper than anything else. It’s not loud or flashy, but it sticks with you.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?You can’t control everything—and trying to will make you miserable. Kids humble you fast. You learn patience in a very real, non-theoretical way. And you learn that love is more about presence than perfection.
What would you do with $20,000?I am in nurse practitioner school. The money would be used for paying for school and family expenses.
