What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom isn’t just one big moment—it’s a thousand tiny ones that sneak up on you. It’s hearing “mom” like you’re their whole world. It’s the random hugs, the “I love yous” that come out of nowhere, and watching their personalities unfold into these little humans you helped shape. It’s seeing your love reflected back in how they treat others—kindness, humor, resilience—and realizing you had a hand in that. It’s also in the growth it forces in you.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Motherhood taught me I’m way stronger than I thought… and that I actually control nothing 😂 Plans? Gone. Sleep? Optional. Personal space? A distant memory. But somehow, in the chaos, you learn to roll with it, laugh through it, and keep showing up. And at the end of the day, it’s all powered by love… and maybe a little caffeine 🤍

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000? Oh, you know… just taking my five tiny dictators on the trip of a lifetime so they can scream, fight over snacks, and make memories I’ll cherish forever (and maybe post for sympathy likes). Money’s been tight doing this solo, but hey, a little fantasy vacation never hurt anyone!
