Easy, there is something so rewarding about hearing “I love you” from your kids and even more special when they say it without being prompted. In the middle of the chaos, the mess, and the long days, those three little words make everything feel worth it. It’s a reminder that beyond all the routines and responsibilities, what truly matters is the that I’m building with them every single day.

There are many lessons motherhood has taught me and continues to teach me. I can’t control everything and perfection shouldn’t be a goal. Being present matters most. It has also changed my perspective on life, my hopes and dreams weren’t my own anymore… it’s what I’m modeling for my children. Bettering my future wasn’t just for me, but putting my kids and their future first. Sometimes motherhood can be emotionally/ physically draining, and it’s OK to ask for help or even a break for self care.

First, I would have a small wedding to finally marry my soulmate! Second, I would take some beautiful family photos that are way overdue, and third tuck away the rest for our 4 beautiful children because life always throws unpredictable expenses!
