What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Humility and Grace. I try to teach my kids so many things but it ends up being me that learns lessons. Im so proud of my kids. They are and continue to surpass my expectations for them. They are all kind people and Im honored to be their mom. My kids are 28, 26, 21, 19 ,11
What would you do with $20,000?I would pay down some bills. I would love to invest in myself. If I had more time I could start a young widows group. One that could help young moms/widows with the transition process ,that the world leaves you to figure out alone after you lose your husband/ their father. I feel I could make a difference. The money would allow me not to work during the summer ( Im a art teacher) I could work on this project and help other moms , while spending time with my 11 year old son.
