The most rewarding aspect of being a mom is often found in the countless small moments of love and connection and playing a crucial role in shaping their children's values, beliefs, and character. Being able to guide and influence a young life is a profound responsibility, being able to teach them growth, patience, resilience and a deeper understanding of themselves.

As an adventurous and fearless little family, there was never a dull moment on our recent trip. But one moment in particular still makes us chuckle. The first roller coaster of Bailey’s life was also one that scared her so much that she’ll never ride again. We’ll never forget seeing the terror on her face as she realized the magnitude of the ride, and the whole experience gave us a good fright. But the whole trip was filled with fun moments that made us feel thankful to have a family like ours.

For years, my kids have been asking me to take them to Disney World. However, I have been unable to make it happen. We just can’t afford it. We’re not rich, and a trip to Disney World is expensive. If I had a budget of $20,000, I would be able to pay for an exclusive trip to this destination. I even feel good about it because it's also what my kids want most. We love theme parks and have great times at them, and it would be a great vacation for all of us.
