What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

My daughter!!! All I have ever wanted to be was a mommy especially to a daughter and give her all the love that I never had from my mother. Three happiest days of my life were finding out I was pregnant, finding out I was having a little girl and the day my beautiful baby girl was born. Everyday is a blessing with her: it’s my mission to make sure my baby girl knows just how special and loved she is by me and make sure she has a childhood that she doesn’t need to recover from. She is my world!

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

My baby girl and I getting a private tour of FSU’s football area: locker room, video room, positions rooms, meeting football and basketball players. Getting to see all the areas that general public don’t get to see and I hadn’t seen since went there & was in sports program. A FSU cheerleader hanging with us all day and giving us the royalty treatment and she was only 1.5 years old. Priceless memory!!

What would you do with $20,000?

I would help nonprofit I am on, myafteraction.org, with my goal of taking domestic and sexual violence survivors and their children hunting and fishing with veterans! Win-win. I would also put money down on some land so I can build a house for her and I and use that land for my mission to help other survivors, children and veterans. Make it a working holistic retreat. Plus, start my campaign to run for politics to redo family court systems that punish mothers! It would be huge for her and I!
