What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part about being a mom is that I get to be the mom I yearned for as a child. My mom was a single mother so she had to work. But her working took her away from my siblings and I. I always felt safe with my mother and whenever I was at school or in the care of someone else, it wasn't the same. My husband served in the military so I stayed home. My kids were able to have at least one parent present all the time. Now I work from home. Being able to raise my kids is rewarding.

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

I received a settlement from a car accident and I took some of that money and took my entire household which included my mother and nephew to Disney World for 8 days. It was the best vacation we ever had and it truly was a magical experience that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The trip was perfect from start to finish.

What would you do with $20,000?

Honestly. I want to get out of debt. $20,000 would not cover it all but it would at least put a dent in it.
