Jennel Bruyning-Geneus

What makes me a super mom is I currently take care of two kids with autism, a demanding job and caretaker for my MIL who has cancer.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing how kind my kids are even with their disabilities. Pushing through even when life throws me a curve ball.

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

When my oldest son couldn’t speak but wanted McDonalds. He was 3 years old, and I promised him if he said “want McDonalds” I would get it. We passed McDonald’s every day when I dropped him off to daycare and he would cry but I was trying to get him to stop pointing and use his words. He finally said Donald’s and I burst into tears and got him his pancakes and milk shake and whatever else he wanted. It’s one of the best memories.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would take my kids on a Disney cruise and save the rest for them. I know hat they would be so happy since they have been longing to go and he can’t afford it right now
