What is your favorite class exercise?

• That it doesn't matter how tired we are, we have the ability to keep on going and take care of our little ones with a lot of love.

What are three of your favorite things?

• Books, coffee and walking in the nature (I love the valley sunsets).

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

• Every achievement they have, but I especially love seeing my kids love each other.

What advice would you give to a new mother?

• Always try to have at least 5 min (30 min would be even better) for yourself, to do something you love. It will keep you sane.

Anything else you'd like to add?

• Thank you for this community... it makes me feel more at home since I have all of the moms to talk to and ask for advice.
