What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is knowing my children are fed, clothed, and safe. I create a nurturing environment where they can be themselves and embrace their individuality. I celebrate their successes and support them through challenges, instilling resilience and confidence. Watching them grow into compassionate, capable individuals fills me with joy, knowing they will always have my unwavering love.

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

One of the most memorable aspects of my children's lives has been witnessing all their "firsts." From the joyful moment they rolled over for the first time to their infectious smiles, the excitement of taking their first steps, and even the bittersweet experience of losing their first tooth, each milestone has been a treasure. I wholeheartedly embrace these precious moments, as they mark the beginning of their unique journeys and fill our lives with joy and wonder.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would save the $20,000 for them to use when they’re older, allowing them the freedom to decide how they’d like to spend it.
