Country star Sara Evans says, "I always knew I wanted to be a mom." "I think my childhood dream was to be Loretta Lynn, just be a very down-home wife and mother, and a country star too. "It took all of my twenties for me to really come into my own as a woman in every way," she says. "I really do credit Avery being born as being the key that unlocked the door to all of those unanswered questions in my mind. This is why I was born, this is what really matters, this is who I am. I can do anything; I'm a mother."

"Motherhood totally put my career into perspective," she says. "My career is nothing compared to being a mom. That's not to say there aren't things that can really stress me out, but overall, it isn't what matters. Our family is what matters. I ultimately have to think about what is best for my kids and what is their perspective on what I'm doing. What is Avery's view on what we're doing and how we're living? I've decided that there are things that I'm willing to sacrifice for the sake of my children."
