What's the best part of motherhood?
"I'm not sure if there is a best part. It's just a whole new experience that I never could have imagined, as hard as I tried. I love that I am able to open his eyes to the best of life, to show him and guide him through the best the world has to offer. There are too many opportunities in life to see the worst in people and in the world and there is this short amount of time Zander will have before he is forced to live in that world. I feel so blessed that I can help him navigate through the junk to hopefully help him lead a happy, healthy, and safe life filled with a positive outlook. That, and of course the fact that life really is a miricle, however corny that does sound."

Like mother, like son. Maggie shows off her favorite Frye boots while Zander models his Nikes.
