What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is the joy that motherhood allows. There are wonderful days when I feel my cup runneth over. Being a mom gives my life purpose. Motherhood is walking around with all of your nerve endings raw and exposed .I love all the smiles, giggles, and pride in new accomplishments.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Motherhood has taught me unconditional love, extreme patience, and the necessity of letting go of perfectionism.It has taught me that I am stronger than I imagined, how to prioritize others, and how to appreciate small, joyful moments. It has taught me how to let go of the perfect mom/ perfect house image to focus on being present, engaging in play, and creating a peaceful rhythm over strict schedules.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had an extra $20,000, I would pay off my house/ car payments, put some money into my boys college funds, and donate a portion to those who need blessed more than me.
