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

My greatest reward is watching my children grow right before my eyes. I get to see each of them develop their unique personalities, and I cherish the memories created along this journey of motherhood. As mothers, we can be our toughest critics, but I love how my kids shower me with love, even on rough days. They don’t notice my flaws; they just see me as their mom! Even when finances are tight, they still treat me like their hero, and I truly appreciate that.

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

As a single mom, I occasionally face challenges. However, one Christmas, I was able to fulfill every item on my children's wish lists. Seeing their bright smiles and witnessing the joy on their faces brought tears to my eyes. It was a memorable and epic moment that I will never forget!

What would you do with $20,000?

My kids have been begging me for a trip to Disney, and I would definitely love to take them on that vacation since it's been on their bucket list for a long time. Additionally, I would contribute money to a 529 college savings plan for my three youngest children, as my oldest has already graduated from community college. For my oldest, I would help him with the deposit for his apartment. As for myself, I would simply like a spa day with all the bells and whistles included.
