What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Literally everything. When I hear them singing in the car, when they see something funny and look at each other and lose it laughing! Seeing all the things they accomplish at school. Every choir concert, every art show, every complement from teachers.

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

The day we brought my son home from the hospital. My daughter was almost 2. My son started crying and she got down to his swing and said " there there little Buddy, it's ok." His nickname has since then been Buddy.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay our bills and make sure our lights and heat stay on. I am a caretaker for my grandmother so it's hard for me to have a normal job. I need the be here for my grandma and anything that may arise for my kids. I do baking on the side along with a part time job from 5-7 in the mornings. I just want to make sure my family is taken care of instead of struggling to make ends barely meet.
