What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching him grow and learn. He’s so bright. I love that he’s expressive just like his momma. Watching him develop his own personality, is definitely a gift. Knowing that there’s a whole other being with a thinking process that you have an ability to help and nurture it’s mind blowing to think about. It’s so amazing to see that I’ve helped bring such a beautiful being into this world

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

One thing I will never forget is my first time laying eyes on him out of the womb. I had a C-section so I couldn’t hold JJ immediately. I had to be sewn up. I also was in labor for over 10hrs so immediately after he was taken out, the doctors gave him a bottle for nutrition. After being fed, he was given to his dad and held him by my head until the doctors finished stitching. He was so adorable and small (5.11 lbs). I tear up at the thought every time.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000 I would put it towards my JJ’s college fund or his emergency savings and when he’s old enough, I will let him decide what to do with it.
