What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

I think the most rewarding thing about being a mom to my little ones is how much they learn, absorb, grow, and become their own person! It is so neat to see how smart, independent and unique each one is! The personalities are so fun! I think that knowing that they are in my corner always, during hard times especially, knowing that I have their unconditional, love and affection; whether it’s hugs, kisses, hearing “I love you, Mom!” I know I will never be alone!

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

I think the biggest lesson, is that it takes a village. And that village, might not be blood. It might not always be big. It might change. But it takes a village and it’s OK. It’s OK to ask for help. It’s OK to need to rely on other people!

What would you do with $20,000?

If I was able to win this $20,000, it would be life-changing. Currently being a single mom, bills are never ending. Money can be tight. Especially when child support is not always deemed a priority and given. I would love to use the money to pay off some debt, but to also spoil my babies. It has been a very tough and sad year with their father and I divorcing. And I just want to be able to bring them some joy and not worry about the cost.
