What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is simply being a mom. From teaching them and learning from them to seeing their happiness and receiving their unconditional love and tiny hugs, it’s all a blessing. Being there for them, watching them grow, and feeling their love in return is something I cherish deeply. It’s the everyday moments that remind me how truly rewarding motherhood is.

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

One unforgettable memory with my children is when I was diagnosed with lupus and needed an emergency procedure. They supported me through the whole experience, showing me the true meaning of family and teamwork. Over the next six weeks, their help was invaluable, and their care demonstrated how a family comes together in times of hardship. It was a powerful reminder of love, unity, and what it really means to have a family.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would address my family's immediate needs, such as paying off bills and making necessary home repairs to improve our living situation. I’d also invest in my crafting business to help it grow and become more financially stable. Finally, I would take my children on a trip, creating lasting memories and giving us the opportunity to bond. This would provide both short-term relief and long-term benefits for my family’s well-being and future.
