What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is giving my children the supportive parent I never had growing up. I am able to go to their sporting events and eat dinner together every night. They do not have to worry about me being consistent in their lives. I get to be with them when they learn new things and when they are struggling. The most rewarding thing of it all is seeing how excited the get about all the littles things in life. Watching them grow and learn and experience so many new things.

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

I will never forget how impactful bringing my last baby home was. My older kids jumped right in to helping and being the older siblings. Watching them love each other and just how excited they were to have a baby was the best thing in the world.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would put a large chunk into savings because life happens. I would also get a better vehicle. One that is more dependable and has a working air conditioner. I utilize my car for work and for getting the kids to their events/school. I would also put a portion towards rent and utilities to help stay on top of our housing situation. Ultimately I would do my best to use the money to get away from living pay check to pay check. And maybe be able to afford to take the kids on a vacation this summer!
