The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing your children happy and growing. We have been through some tough times together but we are a strong team. And for my kids to see that it’s me and only me there for them all day every single day since the day they were born. I was a teen mom at the age of 16. So my daughter and I really have grown up together. I wouldn’t have changed it any other way, it only has made me fight harder for my kids and become stronger than ever for them. 🫶🏻🙏🏼

The biggest lesson motherhood has taught me is. As a mom. You discover your patience and flexibility. Can’t control everything. No matter how much you prepare. And there definitely is a ton of trial and error. I’m their safe place. Their advocate and guidance for them to become strong independent young adults. I just want them to be better than me. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. I’m still teaching myself this. 16.5yrs later.

With 20,000. I’d pay off bills and debt. And take my kids to do something fun. Possibly a down payment on a new car. Sadly I was just involved in a hit and run. A car ran me off the road and I now have no car and it’s been a huge burden on us all. Insurance only paid off remaining balance that was owed. I don’t get a rental or anything for a new car. 😭🙏🏼💔
