What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching my son grow into an incredible young man. He’s a typical teenage boy but him and I are very close, he’s interested about life and how to be an adult. We talk daily and I can tell each time he’s ACTIVELY listening and mentally taking notes. He’s my proof I’m doing a good job.

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

When he left the house to go outside and play while my brother was babysitting. He thought it was so innocent that he wanted to go to the playground meanwhile we all panicked and called the fire department. He was safe and smiling but it was scary. I laugh now but that took some years lol

What would you do with $20,000?

Start fresh and get rid of my debt. Put money in an account for my son so when he’s finished high school, he’ll have a good head start JUST in case college isn’t for him. Buy a little car so we don’t have to uber anywhere.
