Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part to me is being able to spend quality time with my children, experience new restaurants etc. I feel like my children bring out the best in me, I take on extra jobs just to make sure I can provide for them. The fact they understand my sacrifices makes me want to do continue to give them the life I didn’t have. They allow me to heal my inner child by us having fun, eating dinner together and moving nights.

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

This is personal but when their dad and I separated. I tell them all the time God knew I needed you’ll in my life. We had a 1 bedroom apartment and I was making $10 a hour. They never complained, they didn’t do bad at school and it allowed me to feel as we all were in a better space after that transition.

What would you do with $20,000?

My goal is to get us a house and pay off my car to have 1 less bill. They are getting older and are still sharing a room. My dream is to allow them a stable living arrangement something I never had growing up with 6 siblings. I want to take them on their first airplane trip in one day.
