What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching my children grow up and seeing who they are becoming. Helping expose them to new and different things and seeing how they are interpreting and interacting. Hearing their little voices explain their perspective is so amazing!

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

Because I had my daughter in 2020 we were not allowed to have any visitors. My son had just turned 2 the month before so I was dying to get discharged to see him. I had some blood pressure issues post delivery and my daughter had jaundice so we both had an extended stay. When we finally got home to see my son and for him to meet his sister, it was literally the most magical moment. The way he hugged his new baby sister and kissed her, we were finally able to have our family completed!

What would you do with $20,000?

There is so much we could do with that much money. Definitely would budget some for their future education goals. Whether trade school or university studies we are unable to pay for their education. However, this money could be allocated for some of the educational costs. Also would be able to increase funds to their current savings accounts.
