Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Being a mom to four kids is the most rewarding part of my life. Each one is so uniquely themselves, and it’s an absolute gift to watch them grow into who they’re meant to be. Our home is filled with love, joy, and the freedom for them to chase what makes them happy. Motherhood, to me, goes far beyond discipline—it’s about raising four good-hearted humans I genuinely enjoy and admire. I love seeing them lead with kindness, stay true to their values, and stand strong for what they believe is right

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

One memory I’ll never forget has become a monthly (at least) tradition. All four of my kids—13, 11, and 7-year-old twins—have a sleepover in my oldest daughter’s room. They cuddle up in her bed, watch a movie, snack, and just enjoy each other. My husband and I peek in and watch them, soaking in the sweetness. It’s such a simple thing, but it’s full of love and shows how close they truly are. Moments like that remind me what a gift it is to be their mom.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I’d take my family on an epic vacation. With four kids, trips can get expensive, so we usually stick to road trips. But it would be incredible to take them somewhere across the world—to give them an unforgettable experience and create memories together that we’d cherish forever.
