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

Getting to see them grow up to be the best version they can be. Seeing everything you’ve done for them and rewarding them it’s like a prize in its own. Showing them things I didn’t get to experience while their age and just seeing big smiles on their faces even if one of my kids is almost 2 months old. Also just knowing everything you’ve done and learning from them and them teaching us how to be better versions of ourselves.

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

There are so many memories so far and so many more to come. I had to say one memory I’ll never forget is when my son, who was 3 years old at the time, had to use the restroom. We were at a family’s house for a going away party. My uncle had an inflatable water slide for the kids to play in. My son really had to use the restroom, but he was wet. So we told him to go towards a tree. He went to the tree and he took off his shorts with his whole butt facing everyone. It was too funny.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, that’s a lot of money. I would love to use the money as a down payment for a house. A family house that we can call our own. We went from trailer to renting a house so far. My husband and I came a long ways. We just want a house to call home for a very long time for our kids. A home they can grow up in. A home with a great school district and a big back fenced in yard. As people will say an American dream home.
