Every chapter is unique, filled with new experiences and excitement. Though each stage comes with its own challenges, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s amazing to watch my children overcome obstacles—whether it's riding a bike, learning to read, or navigating friendships. Motherhood has also humbled me in so many ways. I have had to reflect on who I want to be vs. who they need me to be at any given moment. Being part of their journey is nothing short of beautiful & rewarding.

I am not someone to ask for help, let alone take the help. Last year, while helping to host a women’s Christmas market, I came home feeling stressed and uncertain about what to do next. I was venting to my husband when my kids, who are 9 and 10, stepped in and said, "Hold on, Mom. Let’s sit down and make a plan." They then helped me organize the decorations, gather supplies, and create a timeline. Their willingness to step up and assist, despite their young age, was powerful!

Put it towards college for the kids! College is so expensive these days, I need every penny I can get. However, I would be lying If I said I wouldn’t use a little bit to take them on a vacation, my kids love to go on vacation! My youngest’s favorite part of the trip is an airport, haha!
