What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my kids grow, succeed, and thrive because of the love and support I give them. Watching them develop their own passions, skills, and confidence while knowing I’ve helped shape that journey is incredibly fulfilling. It’s the small moments of connection, the shared victories, and the sense of purpose that make all the hard work worth it. Knowing I'm there for them, through everything, is truly what makes motherhood so rewarding.

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

One memory I’ll never forget is when my kids reached a milestone in their activities—whether it was my daughter hitting her first home run in softball or watching my kids conquer a new move in Jiu Jitsu for the first time. The look of pride on their faces and the joy in their voices was priceless. It was one of those moments where you just know all the hard work and support you’ve given them is paying off. It’s a memory that’ll stay with me forever.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I’d probably focus on a mix of things that could benefit my family, our future, and myself. First, I'd make sure we had some savings or put a portion away for any emergencies. Then, I'd likely invest in things that would bring us closer as a family like a fun vacation or experiences like family outings. I'd also think about any improvements or upgrades around the house to make life a little easier. Finally, upgrade MY wardrobe a little bit! 😊
