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

The most rewarding part of being a stepmom to a 9 year old boy and a mom to an almost 3 year old girl and a 4 month old girl is the joy of playing outside, reading books, and learning together. Watching their imaginations run wild during our outdoor adventures, reading stories that spark curiosity, and seeing their excitement as they discover new things fills my heart. I absolutely love to see the bonds that they are creating with each other and being their mom.

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

One of the best memories was watching each child meet one another for the first time. My stepson’s curiosity and care for his younger sisters was heartwarming, while our almost 3 year olds excitement to be a big sister was pure joy. Seeing them bond instantly, with smiles, laughter, and a sense of wonder, created a beautiful moment of connection. Those first interactions laid the foundation for our loving, blended family, and I’ll always cherish how their relationships/friendships began.

What would you do with $20,000?

The $20,000 would be used to secure a brighter future for our children by putting it into savings for their education and future needs. Additionally, part of the funds would go toward paying off debt, helping us take a significant step toward financial freedom. By reducing our debt and building savings, we can create a more stable foundation for our family’s future, ensuring less financial stress and more opportunities for our children as they grow.
