What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Just seeing my girls smile and laugh on any day. It lets me know that they are happy and im not doing a bad job at being a mom.

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

I was going through a really difficult time in my life where it was just back to back life changes. My oldest came in my room mid breakdown. And naturally I try to just suck it up real quick and act normal. Then all I hear is “mommy it’s ok to cry do you need some water you will run out if you don’t drink water that’s a lot of tears”😂 instantly I couldn’t stop laughing. At my lowest point my baby gave me the greatest gift ever thank God she has a good sense of humor.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would buy my kids their forever home I have been saving up for a year being a used car salesman working 60 hours a week. I make good money I love my job but it’s still rough and expensive raising three little girls on my own and managing time and money. I work so hard and next year is my goal to give them something I never had stability.
