What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching them grow and become who they are. I have 4 kids and each day I look at them in awe about how much they have grown and learned. I’m so honored to be the run they run to and so lucky to watch their personalities blossom and see how strong they are.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

It’s okay just to do your best. In a world full of social media perfection, it’s easy to get lost and feel like you aren’t doing enough or that life isn’t perfect, and the truth is it doesn’t have to be. I work full time rush to get them from daycare, get food on the table, homework done and everyone settled and happy for bed. It’s a lot and most days I feel I failed but I’m doing enough. I figure out work to never miss an event. Things are perfect but at end of they day I did my best.

What would you do with $20,000?

We quickly outgrew our car with the four kids I would use the $20,000 towards a bigger family car for us. And use a little for our extra fun fund. We love doing family outings to baseball games or farms but it all adds up so quickly so we would definitely use some to make some family special time.
