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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my son grow into a kind, confident, and resilient person. Every smile, hug, and ‘I love you’ reminds me that the love and effort I pour into him truly matters. Seeing his excitement when he achieves something, knowing I helped guide him, makes every challenge worth it. The bond we share, the memories we create, and the unconditional love we give and receive make motherhood the most fulfilling journey of all!

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

I will never forget our first camping experience with his Cub Scouts pack last fall. It was such a great experience and one I never had as a child, so I’m glad I got to experience this with him. We did all of the traditional camping things like pitched a tent, ate chilli & snores, we fished, we even told stories and sang songs around a camp fire. Although it was super cold at night, we had a ball and my son didn’t want to leave. We now are prepared for more camping trips!

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest in my son’s streaming journey. My son is very animated and a real character and I know he would have great success in being a personality on some platform. I would also get him a tutor for Math, Reading, & Spanish. I also would invest in my own business ventures as well. I am in the process of starting a podcast about moms specifically raising boys into men. Just want to create a safe space for mothers to have real conversations and dialogue around raising boys.
