What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

It’s been ingrained in me since I was little that kindness will change the world. My kids are 7,5,4, and 6 months. Watching these four little beings go into the world, even at a young age, spreading what I have taught them is so incredibly rewarding. It’s not always what you do to change the world, it’s who you raise.

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

The day I brought my youngest son home from the hospital will always be a core memory. My kids asked every day when he was coming out of my tummy. Watching my three oldest kids meet their brother was one of the best days of my life. Watching them be the best big siblings is the biggest blessing we could have received in his year.

What would you do with $20,000?

My husband recently transitioned out of the Marine Corps last October and to say that the transition back into civilian life has been difficult would be an understatement. I would use the money to help get our family completely stable again. We both work extremely hard for what we have and this would be a blessing after the hardships we’ve faced this past year. I’d also love to help other families and raise awareness for those who are currently going through the same thing.
