What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

I wish more than anything that I was able to stay home with my babies every day, but with the economy being structured the way it is, it’s just not possible for our family. I work a 9-5 office job each day and it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, but I’m thankful to even have a job. But when I have had the longest day at work, there is nothing better than walking in the door to our house and having my 3-year-old scream and run into my arms and my 8-month-old’s face lighting up as he crawls to me!

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

It’s so cliché, but the first time that my daughter met her baby brother will stay with me forever. She was such a good sister when he was in my tummy but we were nervous she may be jealous when he arrived. She blew our expectations out the water and has loved him from the moment they met.

What would you do with $20,000?

$20,000 is a lot of money. Half of that money would go into our family savings for a rainy day. The other half would be split between home renovations that we desperately need and on making memories as a family of four. We haven’t been able to afford to do much else other than pay bills for a while, so I just want to do something fun, especially for our 3-year-old, because she has been such a good big sister.
