What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my kids, at just 4 and 2, learn and grow every day. Whether it's hearing new words, mastering a new skill, or sharing sweet moments together, those little milestones fill me with so much pride and joy.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

There are so many moments I love as a mom that it’s hard to pick just one. My favorite memories are the ones we make every day — the little things that mean so much. Whether it's their giggles during playtime, their cuddles when they’re tired, or the way they call for me when they need comfort, those everyday moments are the ones I’ll always cherish the most.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I’d focus on building a better future for my family. I’d save some for my kids’ needs and future opportunities, put some toward improving our living situation, and set aside a portion for experiences we can enjoy together. Creating lasting memories while working toward stability would be my priority.
