The most rewarding part about being a mom is the ever growing love and acceptance that your children have for you. Having children is like having a forever entourage and glam squad. They keep you hip and lively. They’re walking, talking, breathing mirrors of you. They reflect the good and the great in you. They also challenge you to reach new heights in your potential and to evolve and ways you previously never imagined. Then they’ll celebrate you like you’re the world’s biggest superstar!

I’ll never forget how excited my oldest son was to fly from North Carolina to Atlanta, which was his very first flight. During the peak of his airplane obsession I got booked and flown in for a runway show. He thought I was sooo cool! In addition, I’ll never forget how my youngest would cry anytime anyone other than me and his older brother looked at him from about 5-8mo old! It was hilarious! Now he’s the most sociable of us all!

I’d pay for my trade school/certificate in full, buy us a car, startup my oldest son’s business idea, pay up our life insurance policies for the next 2 years, pay off my debt, give their room a makeover and upgrade our wardrobes.
