Here are what our winners said when asked "What's your favorite part about being a mom?"

"Its honestly the hardest thing I have ever done, but it's honestly the BEST thing I have ever done. Being a mom is as challenging as it is rewarding and I love it!"

"Just one?? Receiving hugs, kisses, and "I love you's" from my son."

"Bringing two beautiful children into the world. I love teaching them and learning from them. I love living my life through them and knowing that they love me in return. I love cooking, gardening, playing dress up, learning new words, learning how to walk, showing how to tie shoes and anything in between! These girls have taught me more about life than I have ever thought possible. Simply put they are my life!"

"EVERYTHING! Love making my kids laugh and smile! Their happiness is my biggest joy. :)"

"That my children, no matter how bad I mess up or how perfectIi do something, I get the uncondtional love no matter what. They always tell me I'm beautiful even if I've just woken up or don't feel well. I always know I'm loved and cared for."

"I love cuddling with my 15 month little girl! She really truely is my everything! I love that after a long day she comes over to me and curls up in my lap with head on my chest! I live for those brief moments with her! I try to soke in those moments and hold on to them! Her little smile can make my darkest days turn around!!!!"

"I have 6 kids. 5 boys and a 1 girl. Ages 36,34,29,25 and 14 year old twins, a boy and a girl. What I love most about being a Mom is enjoying the moment. Cherishing each minute as a blessing good and bad as that is the only way you learn the difference. I would not change on thing about being a Mom. I am truly blessed."

"The love, to and from my little man and all the love he emits to everyone he touches, sees, and smiles at."

"It is really hard to say what my favorite part about being a mom is, because I love being a mom every minute of everyday(even through the battles), but when I look into their beautiful little eyes, knowing I created such an awesome human being, that makes my day =)"

"My favorite part about being a mom is the joy that I get from my child every day! I love seeing my daughter grow and learn different things everyday. I never knew what unconditional love was until she came into my life; she is the reason for my everything. My baby girl graduates preschool this year and I am so proud of how much she has accomplshed and how truly amazing she is to me!"

"Absolutely everything! I know that sounds cliche, but my husband and I tried to get pregnant for 7 years after a miscarriage. When I found out I was pregnant, I was in total shock! Our daughter is only 3 months old, but when you wait that long to become a parent, you love absolutely everything about your child; crying, sleepless nights, and even poopy diapers! This Mother's day is going to be wonderful. I'm finally a Mommy!"

"I am just entering for a friend... Her husband is an Army officer, who has been sent away for training in CA for a month. Recently, her 2 year old daughter was diagnosed with autism. Before her daughter's diagnosis, her daughter underwent a surgery for cleft palate. This took place last year while her husband was deployed in Afghanistan. Through her example, I have seen her patience and unconditional love. Most of all, I have seen her become an overall better person through all the sacrifices she has made. If anything, please give her something special to let her know that she is doing a wonderful job. She gets so discouraged many times. It's especially hard with her husband, mom, and siblings not around in CO. Thank you for your consideration!"

"Every day I get to be part of something bigger than myself. I get the priveldge of watching and influencing another life. I get to see my child see every day things for the first time. I love every minute of being a mom :-)"
