What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

While our children are growing up we question if our children hear our lessons and take understanding in difficult times as weakness. The most rewarding part for me was realizing they heard every word and came to understand those difficult times were something we all went through to be who we are today. Being proud of the people they have become is rewarding to no end.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Before being a mother I believed there was a right way to be a mother and that with preparation everything will go "right". But motherhood taught me that babies cry, toddlers test boundaries and even on the best days things don't always go as planned. By embracing imperfections as growth, not defeat, I learned to forgive myself when i lost patience and that showing up matters more than getting everything right. Over time, i began to see that striving for perfection created pressure not happiness

What would you do with $20,000?

My first would be topay for my youngest son's Class 1 course and with the rest a family get together weekend to spend time together, we aren't getting any younger.
