What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The best reward of being a mom is knowing that despite the challenges, I am giving my children a life full of love, guidance, and purpose. Living with an autoimmune disease means I often face physical limitations, but it also deepens my appreciation for the moments that matter most. Every hug, every smile, and every "I love you" from my kids makes all the hard days worth it. I may not always be able to do everything I want for them, but I strive to be present in every moment.

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

I will never forget Christmas morning 2024, my oldest son who is 8 said “Mom thank you for all my gifts but I want to do something for others” I asked what he would like and he said “I want to make goodie bags and put juice, water some snacks and maybe a present and give them to all the homeless people because God would want us too” I knew at that moment that I was doing a great job. I was a young single mom with Jayden until recently. He has a heart of gold, I’m so proud of him!

What would you do with $20,000?

If I were to win $20,000, my family’s dream would be to take a Disney cruise together. As a stay-at-home mom managing chronic illness, there are times when I feel like I’m missing out on giving my kids the experiences they deserve. A Disney cruise would allow us to connect as a family, create magical memories, and enjoy each other’s company in a way we haven’t had the chance to do before. I would also open a bank account for my kids to set up a college fund and help start their future.
