What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my kids grow into their own unique personalities and seeing them thrive. It's the little moments — their laughter, hugs, and even their random conversations — that make everything worth it. Knowing that I'm helping shape kind, strong, and compassionate people gives me so much joy and fulfillment. Plus, the love you get from your kids is like nothing else in the world. 💖

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

One memory I'll never forget is when all my kids surprised me on my birthday with a homemade breakfast and little handwritten cards. They worked together so sweetly, even the youngest one tried their best to help. It was a chaotic mess of cereal, toast, and juice, but their effort and thoughtfulness made it feel like a 5 star meal. Seeing them work as a team and show me so much love and appreciation melted my heart. It was one of those moments that reminds me why being a mom is the best thing.

What would you do with $20,000?

As a mom of six living in a three-bedroom home, winning $20,000 would be a blessing. I'd use part of the money to turn our garage into a bedroom so my 16-year-old daughter can finally have her own space and privacy. The rest would go toward a family trip back home to visit loved ones. I recently suffered a loss and couldn't afford to bring my kids to the funeral. Taking all six of them back to reconnect, heal, and make new memories would mean everything to me.
