What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

It’s honestly watching my family with him and how he lights up to see them. I wanted to be a mom so bad but I didn’t realize until I had him it’s because I knew I wouldn’t be alone in it. I have so many amazing people in my life and seeing them through mommy goggles just makes me so grateful. It’s an unfortunate reality that everyone does not have the community it takes to raise a baby.

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

It’s not the sweetest memory but it’s the one that sticks with me the most. I was back to working and this particular day I was working from home and everything was just getting to me. And while holding him and feeding him I let out my frustration in a scream. I looked at him and he stared at me for so long and I was terrified that I scared him but he just smiled at me. And I literally cried for the rest of the day. There was just so many emotions and I’ll never forget it

What would you do with $20,000?

$10,000 for sure would be put into my son’s account (no question). The other $10,000 1 would use to show him the world through traveling and new experiences. To him the world is already huge but I want him to know that it’s infinite.
