What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing the little moments that no one else sees—the first smile meant just for you, the sleepy cuddles, the way your child’s eyes light up when they learn something new. It’s knowing that you are their safe place, their comfort, and their home. There’s no greater reward than watching a tiny human you’re raising grow into their own person, with love that’s deeper than anything you ever imagined.

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

The day I heard him call me mom for the first time… in that moment everything made sense, and life had so much more meaning.

What would you do with $20,000?

Honestly, I’d use it to create more stability for my family. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a three-year-old and another baby on the way, so $20,000 would go a long way toward things like preparing for the new baby, saving for my kids’ futures, and maybe just easing some of the day-to-day financial pressure. I’d want to be really intentional with it—to make sure it helps us not just now, but long-term too.
