What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

I love hearing my kids share memories they have of something we did, either as a family or just them and myself. My oldest remembers when I was dating her dad and I took the day off work to hang out with her when she was sick. She was only 5 years old but says that was "the best sick day ever". I also love seeing my children display morals or actions I've taught them. Seeing my son push open a door and hold it open for someone makes me so proud.

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

This one took a minute. The one that stands out was with my pregnant self, my husband, and our girls. We traveled to Arizona to meet up with my family and do a gender reveal. We had a wonderful weekend and when the time came to find out if we were having a boy or girl, our nerves were through the roof. Once that baby boy banner was held up and blue confetti was everywhere, all I heard through all the cheering was the girls' screaming "We are having a brother!!!!!" My husband was in shock.....

What would you do with $20,000?

I would re-do spaces in my home. I want my family to feel like home is an oasis from the craziness outside of it, whether that's school, work, etc. I would want to finish my sunroom to enjoy and relax, an art corner for my middle child to express her emotions, a little construction worker's dream in the backyard for my son, a chill corner for my teenager, and an organized (and air-conditioned) garage for my husband.
