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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is being someone’s safe place in a world that can feel big and overwhelming. Knowing that no matter what happens, they can come to me for love, comfort, and guidance and that’s everything to me.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Motherhood has taught me a level of strength and patience I didn’t know I had. It showed me that even on my hardest days, I can keep going because little eyes are watching and little hearts are depending on me.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would finally be able to give my family something we’ve been missing which is stability. As a stay-at-home mom one car for the family living paycheck to paycheck, every day comes with hard choices, like which bill gets paid or how to stretch groceries just a little further. I would be able to purchase the next seasons clothes for my kids and shoes that fit them comfortably. I just want to be able to help out in a way that matters and really takes some stress off of my husbands shoulders.
