What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is the deep, unconditional love shared with your child. Watching them grow, learn, and reach milestones—like their first smile, steps, or “I love you”—fills your heart with pride and joy. Motherhood teaches patience, resilience, and selflessness, making you stronger in ways you never imagined. Seeing the values you instill—kindness, honesty, perseverance—reflected in their actions is incredibly fulfilling. Beyond big moments, the simple joy bedtime cuddle

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

One heartfelt memory of my daughter, Jordin, that I’ll never forget is the first time she said, “Mom, you’re my best friend.” It was a simple moment, but it meant everything. We were just spending time together, laughing and talking, when she looked at me with pure love in her eyes. In that instant, I realized that beyond being her mother, I was also her safe space, her comfort, and someone she truly trusted. It was a beautiful reminder that motherhood isn’t just about teaching, it’s about love

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest in resources to support Jordin’s learning disability. I’d get specialized tutoring, assistive technology, and educational tools to help her grow with confidence. I’d also look into programs that cater to her strengths, making learning engaging and accessible. If needed, I’d use some of the money for therapies or mentors who understand her challenges and can guide her toward success. Most importantly, I want Jordin to know her learning disability doesn’t define her.
