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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is the connection we build as I watch my son grow. Each day is a new adventure and it's mind-blowing to see him become so smart. Watching his personality develop and seeing him discover the world fills my heart with joy. These moments, filled with laughter and love, create an unbreakable bond and remind me of the beauty and fulfillment of motherhood.

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

As a first time mommy it's hard to choose just one special memory, and every little moment just makes my heart melt . But if I had to pick, it would be the time I was changing a poopy diaper and playfully said, “YOU STINK!” To my surprise, he yelled back, “I STINK!” I was so shocked! He had only just turned 1 and didn’t talk much at the time, plus he used proper grammar! It was hilarious I still can’t believe how smart he is I’m just so in love.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’m currently pregnant again, due April 30th with another little boy, and I’ve had to stop working due to a high-risk pregnancy. This money would mean the world to us. I want to provide my boys and me with a stable home, as financial worries have been my biggest concern, especially now as a single parent. My goal is to be fully independent and create a safe, loving environment for my children without the burden of struggle. I just want to give them the best life possible.
