What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing the joy of childhood in my daughter. Showing my daughter that she can be anything and seeing how she interacts with the world around her. Seeing how carrying she is. Her asking her loved ones wearing a bandaid, “are you okay?” with intention.

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

On days where she isn’t feeling well and I have to work my sister comes over and works from home, too. My daughter will sit next to her along with her tablet (laptop) and two play cell phones and “work” alongside my sister. My sister describes those days as the best she’s ever had. It warms my heart that my sister doesn’t think of it as a chore and my daughter just enjoys the time with her aunt.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would pay bills for the rest of the year. It would take a huge load off my shoulders. I want to spend time off just enjoying my daughter doing the little things like going to parks, museums and getting her faves beignets like Tiana from Princess and the Frog- she loves that movie. I am grateful for every moment that I spend with my Eliza Jane.
