What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching my kids learn new things has been the most rewarding. I love to introduce new books and toys for them to discover, and they love it too! Seeing them light up when they figured out a puzzle on their own, or said a new word, melts my heart. My boys love to listen to me read and sing, and that has brought me so much joy. Everything about motherhood is rewarding!

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

I believe the biggest lesson has been patience, followed by selflessness. I would sacrifice anything for my kids; their health, and happiness. I always knew I wanted to be a young mom, but I have never respected and appreciated my own mother more than I do now. My house is always loud, and when it is quiet while they sleep, I miss their voices, laughs, even their cries. I have grown so much with them, and I hope one day they will appreciate the same things with their own kids too.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would love to put some of the money aside into my boys edvest accounts, but also put some into our house fund. My husband and I bought our tiny home in 2023 when it was just me, him, and our puppy. We have quickly outgrown those 900sqft with two beautiful little boys and two energetic dogs. I would love a space for them to play and run around without being so cramped. We one day hope to have more kids, but would love more room before adding another! We love spoiling our kiddos.
