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

The most rewarding for me is seeing my daughters actually be good people. I love to see them make good decisions based on empathy and good character. They don't judge anyone by their social status, they really are good girls with fair judgment. Being responsible for 2 young girls putting good energy out Into this chaotic world really makes me feel like I've done the most good.

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

As I'm writing this my oldest will be 17 tomorrow 3/13/2025 and my youngest will be 14 3/31/2025. I just got off the phone with my mechanic who I've already spent $3500 telling me that I'll need $630 more dollars to fix my car, and my daughter's birthday is tomorrow. I wanted to scream!! But then I think about all the times my kids have told me I was a good mom when I felt like I was drowning. Just their faces, their hugs, and the faith that they put in me. Those memories keep me going.

What would you do with $20,000?

First, I would donate $2,000.00 to St. Jude or a local shelter in Georgia to give back for the blessings I have received. I would pay off my debts and invest in bonds for my children to ensure they are secure and understand financial literacy. I would also start saving for my daughter, who will be heading to college next year. Additionally, I would share some blessings with a few people around me and use the money to improve our lives and create better opportunities. Blessing to the winner!
