What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing your kids grow into their own unique personalities while knowing I’ve played a major role in shaping them. Watching them hit milestones, whether it’s my oldest stepping into adulthood, my teen, figuring out who she is or my youngest finding his confidence is incredibly fulfilling. The little moments like inside jokes, late-night talks, and their random acts of love make all the challenges worth it.

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

One of the memories I will never forget is our time by the river - our “peaceful place“. After school and work, we would go there, sit in the car or the rocks close by and get lost in the sight of the water. It was our little escape, where the world seemed to slow down. We’d toss rocks and fly kites and just be — together. Those were some of the best times, filled with simplicity and joy.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000 I would be intentional about how I use it. A portion will go toward my kids education because their future is one of my top priorities. I’d also set some aside for myself — to enjoy life’s moments while being mindful of financial security. Since I’m all about saving and investing, I’d make sure to put the rest to good use, ensuring it grows and benefits the things that matter most to me. Every dollar would have a purpose, whether for the present or the future.
