What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Just seeing my children grow into being the best versions of themselves. I love how they are just so thoughtful with great mannerisms and never short of being appreciative even to say Thanks Mom for dinner tonight..

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

One memory I’ll never forget is the first time my child rode a bike without training wheels. They had been nervous for days, but after a lot of practice and encouragement, they finally took off on their own. The look of pride and excitement on their face was unforgettable. I remember running alongside them, cheering them on, and feeling so proud of how determined they were to keep going even after a few falls. It was one of those moments where I felt completely connected with them.

What would you do with $20,000?

Help my daughter with a down payment for her first vehicle and put some aside for savings and legal expenses from the custody case
