What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Getting to watch my children evolve from dependent nursing innocent infants to young independent and very outspoken young children, teens, and adults. Even with 10, I’m always amazed at how they grow, it is an indescribable feeling that continues to make me smile and sometimes shed happy tears to know my husband and I created other little humans that we get to share our love with.

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

Our first family vacation as a family of 12 was in 2023. We saved and took them on a cruise. The memories are priceless. The expressions of joy and gratitude from even the youngest continues to make my heart smile.

What would you do with $20,000?

Naturally as a mother I would like to do something for my children, however on September 4, 2025, my husband and I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and we really want to travel to Morocco, a trip we have tried to plan for years now. So, that would be a wonderful use of funds for us, because we pour so much into our children. He needs this just as much as me because I am able to be super because he is extraordinary!
