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

The most rewarding thing about being a mother is watching my babies smile. Making memories we can look back on. Being a mother can be tough i dedicated my body 5 times had 4 c sections (I'm allergic to pain meds) and breast fed for a little over 9 years between them all! It's rewarding and tiring all at the same time but I wouldn't change it for the world.

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

All 5 births were kinda traumatic so holding them all for the 1st times is something I will never forget. Doing little trips with them & seeing the excitement, them saying this was the best day ever! Youngest in the nicu the smiles he would give w/all the issues he was having broke me & melted my heart at the same time, he helped me become stronger. My kids a 21, 17, 13, 8, 5 & seeing them all together laughing is a blessing. Watching my daughter graduate & become a mom.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would take my kids on a much needed family trip but within reason. Times have been tough and it's been hard to do the family trips and make lasting memories. Then the rest I would use to do a down payment on a real home for us. We don't need expensive materialistic stuff memories are more important to me.
