What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is to hear from my boys how proud they are of me and how much they loves me as their mom. This confirms that through all our hardships they appreciate me and all that I am dong to make sure they grow up to be smart independent men. Another rewarding part of being a mom is when I get to see how my children are growing and meeting age appropriate miles stones in their lives. This brings me so much joy as a mom.

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

One memory is the day my oldest son learn how to read his first book at 3. It was a small good night prayer book. We would read it every day before bed. Today he is 9 and it is now the family before bed prayer. His little brother has learned how to read it now as well. They are so proud to know it by hard. They are both reading a grade ahead of their class.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would make this a down payment on our family home.
