What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part about being a mom is seeing my girlies grow into their own person—watching them learn, smile, love, and overcome challenges. It’s those little everyday moments: a spontaneous hug, hearing “I love you,” or watching them achieve something they’ve worked hard for. There’s a deep, unmatched joy in knowing you’re their safe place, their guide, and their biggest fan.

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

Moving into our first apartment marked a significant milestone for our family. It was a moment filled with excitement, transition, and the beginning of creating a space that truly felt like home.

What would you do with $20,000?

Furnish my girl’s bedroom, find a tutor, sign them up for sports and put the rest up to savings for a house.
