    1. If you could go back to one part of your kid’s life and enjoy it all over again…what would it be?

    When they turned 1, then I wouldn’t have to relive the pain of delivering them and it’s a huge milestone in a child’s life and they learn so much. I think kids really get their own imagination at that age.

     

    2. Was it difficult trying to get pregnant?

    Not at all lol

     

    3. Do your kids do chores? If so, what? Do they get an allowance?

    Yes, all 4 kids do chores. Sometimes they get an allowance-my 6 year olds get $2 every week and are responsible for keeping their room tidy, beds made, and dirty clothes in basket. The 11 year old & 9 year old get $5-10 a week & are responsible for vacuuming, sweeping, helping with dinner & keeping rooms tidy.

     

    4. What’s one “mom chore” you would forever outsource if you could?

    Dishes! –I don’t mind doing dishes…once a day…lol they just get piled up so fast from a family of 6.

     

    5. Do you have any picky eaters? How do you deal with it?

    Not really, my kids eat most of everything. Our family rule is you have to at least try it every year because taste buds change.

     

    6. Do you daydream about being a stay at home mom/working mom?

    I dream about being a stay at home mom- still with a schedule because I’ve always worked.

     

    7. What’s the one thing you would have done differently so far with your kids?

    Not argue in front of them, they absorb so much just by listening, and I want to set a good example.

     

    8. If you could be instantly transported anywhere right now…where would you go?

    Colorado

     

    9. What are you currently obsessed with?

    Tomatoes, I recently started liking them.

     

    10. Describe an average day in your life…

    I usually wake up around 5:45-6:00am and shower. Kids get up around 6:30 and we’re out of the house by 7:10 to go to school. I go to work until 5pm and when I get home, the kids’ dad is making dinner and helping with homework. At least 2 of the 4 kids will take showers, then relaxing time we watch tv, a movie together, or read/look at books. I binge my shows on Netflix until I fall asleep and the next thing I know is I need to do it all again. lol
