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

Knowing my children will take the lessons I give them and flourish in their lives. I hope they touch the lives of others in a positive way, leaving a sprinkle of joy wherever they go. My husband and I love people, and I take pride in knowing my babies are fans of people too. I also love watching them think, use their imagination and the best of all-grow. Watching them grow has become a reward-I didn’t even know I would cherish this much. It is what blesses me as a mom. An irreplaceable gift.

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

Recently, my son and I were walking to the car, and I thanked him for being such a good son. (*not perfect-lol but still good!) I said I loved him. He looked at me and said “OH I love you too-, and daddy so-so much, it makes me want to cry”. My favorite memories of my baby girl are every morning she crawls into my bed-nearly 7 years old, and she says she needs a snuggle. It’s precious to me and I’ll never forget it.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would love to put a dent in these student loans! I’d do that, or invest in a few small renovations for our home!
