What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is not only do my 5 kids know I am their mom but for my other 4 kids (step kids) they blessed me with the title of being their mom as well. Their biological mother has been inconsistent for more than 7 years and within the past 2 years she has stopped communicating with these babies for selfish reasons. I have never loved these kids any different from mine and the past year they have blessed me with the title as MOM. My upbringing came from a village.

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

It is so hard to just pick one of my greatest memories . My first memory was when I decided to go back to school to enter the medical field and seeing my 5 kids happy and proud of me at graduation was a great feeling. for my now 18 year old I wont forget his word, " Mom I am so proud of you!! You showed me that no matter our hardships in life weather its money or loss you showed me how strong your are as a single parent and still made your dreams come true"

What would you do with $20,000?

This will allow my Fiancé and I to purchase a bigger home for our family. With 11 of us its pretty tight in our home and this would be amazing to help us start a new chapter and build new memories with our kids.
