What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Motherhood is a journey filled with challenges, but the rewards far outweigh the struggles. Watching your child grow into her own person, discovering her passions, and becoming independent is incredibly fulfilling. It’s in the little moments—the laughter, the late-night talks, the unexpected “I love you.” Even when parenting is tough, knowing she trusts you and sees you as her safe place makes it all worthwhile. The love, pride, and bond you share are the greatest rewards of all.

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

One memory I will never forget is going to the ice cream museum. It was a traveling museum that came through LA that had an ice cream theme throughout the entire museum. There were rooms set up for different ice cream themes like popsicles and a pool of sprinkles and banana splits and we got to eat treats and take selfies. It was so much fun.

What would you do with $20,000?

I dream of starting my own business in graphic design. I’m currently in school. I’m majoring in multimedia, graphic design with an art studio degree. I would also use some of it for so self care. Take a trip to an island. See something beautiful new and inspiring. I’m worth it!
