What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing the lessons you've taught your children reflected back in the way they treat others. It is a very proud moment to see how beautifully my children value all that they have and strive towards kindness and helping others. I can always count on them to be understanding and give any task their all.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Motherhood has taught me that, as with everything in life, to expect the unexpected, to led with compassionate and kindness, and to never give up. As a mother you are willing to push yourself beyond your limits in order to make sure your child is safe and secure. That strength is to be celebrated. I have learned love can be expressed in a multitude of different ways and sometimes self love is just as important as love towards others.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would love to plan a family trip to Japan. My children have always dreamed of going to another country and they have such a connection to this culture. It would be the ultimate experience of exploration and adventure.
