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

The most rewarding part of being a mom for me is just knowing I made something good. I didn’t have the perfect example of a ‘good’ mom. And I became a mom young so looking at my girls especially my oldest and I grew up with her, and seeing how smart and kind she is. And everyone who meets her says she’s a ray of sunshine. And just knowing I did it. That I can do it. That’s the most rewarding part.

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

My favorite memory is a recent one. When I gave birth to my 2nd daughter and my oldest daughter ( 4 almost 5 at the time ) came to meet her baby sister. I researched for months on how to introduce a new baby to an only child and I was so scared that I wasn’t going to be able to split my love or time. And my oldest came in and she was so worried about me instantly checked on me first then watching her hold her baby sister, seeing both of them calm and smiling I knew then I’d be okay.

What would you do with $20,000?

Whoa, if by the grace of God, I did receive $20,000. First of all it’d be life changing for my family. Id first find us a reliable and safe car. For the last year we’ve been carless and it makes it hard to get around for appointments and school. I catch the bus an hour to work each way. So a car would help me spend more time with my girls. & I’d plan a trip to Disneyland for my oldest because that was her birthday wish and I couldn’t afford it. And get them new clothes instead of handmedowns
