The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my kids grow, seeing them thrive learning new things, and seeing the world through their perspective. Being able to nurture and raise them the way I wasn’t, getting to hear “you’re the best mommy in the whole world”. The list goes on and on. Especially when I’m teaching them things for the first time, they get worked up trying to master this new thing and eventually they do and they’re full of joy for learning and not giving up.

It’s hard to choose one and 500 limit isn’t enough but the day we brought home our fourth baby my eldest (9) said “our family is complete” and they were all eager to meet their baby sister. They each wanted to keep taking turns holding her and it was so sweet to see the joy on their faces while they bonded with their sister. I didn’t have a big family or multiple siblings to turn to so being able to create one of my own and them all loving each other to pieces is answered prayers.

My kids have always wanted to go on a family vacation and we’ve never been able to afford one so this money would surely allow for us to do that and create lasting memories. My kids are my world and I want them to have the childhood I didn’t have. We’d definitely all go on a family shopping spree too. This cash prize would also help with getting certified in cosmetology, it’s a dream I’ve put on pause but i want to show my kids that no dream is too big or small to accomplish.
