The most rewarding part of being a mom is building memories and experiences for my children. Watching them take their first step, saying their first word. Taking them to the beach for the first time. Seeing their reactions and hearing their excitement. I absolutely love being able to show them the world and protecting them as they grow. No matter how hard being a mom can be the reward is them. Seeing them grow from infant to a wild toddler to a loving child to a moody teen and so on.

I will never forget seeing them for the first time. How amazing it was to see their beautiful face, hear their first cry. Having a sense of worry but overpowered by love and gratitude. Each time, has been a blessing.

I would take my family on a trip they would always remember with a small amount of the money. I would also save a little for each child for their future with the remaining amount. Because we all know troubles come, and having something when needed could be a huge blessing.
