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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my babies worry free & smiling. Knowing generational curses are being broken, and hearing my son say I’m the best mommy ever. I push myself every day to give my kids a happy life full of love and experiences. My son always talks about how much he loves his family, & knowing that he wants to be next to me all the time makes me feel like I’m doing something right. Those smiles make all the stress I feel melt away. I’d do anything to make them happy.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

The biggest lesson that motherhood has taught me is to stop trying to make things perfect & just live in the moment. Stop trying to find a routine, stop trying to plan everything and go with the flow because the last thing a kid needs is an uptight, stressed out parent. Becoming a mom actually cured my anxiety in some ways, because I realized as long as they were happy then what is there really to worry about? We’re safe, healthy, and happy and nothing is more important to me than that.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning this money would be life changing. I would put half of that towards saving for a house for my family and getting out of a small apartment. The other half would be invested for my kids’ futures. I know that I can always make my own money to survive, so this money would be used to secure stability for my children when they’re older. I want them to always have something to fall back on. Whether that be for college or a home of their own one day.
