We would like to thank you for supporting Patrice Guilinger 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.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The biggest reward is knowing that I was always there for my kids I've always had their back there was a lot of struggles with having a mixed family but I always made sure that we had vacations we made menus we saved at the grocery stores and knowing that my kids use that same process makes me happy

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

The biggest lesson motherhood taught me was to always be there for your kids through the good and the bad let them know that you love them always tell him everyday that you love them and tell him to have a good day when you drop them off at school I did that with my kids and step kids and I do it with my grandkids I'm thinking about you know they can always come to me with any issues or problems

What would you do with $20,000?

What I would do with the money is I would make sure that we went on one heck of a great vacation something for them to remember maybe take my only son that I have left and my grandkids and go on a cruise or go tour Europe
