Celebrating Schwab moms doing it all this Mother’s Day
May 6, 2020
Even though this Mother’s Day might feel a little different, we want to say thanks to all of the moms who do it all. Here are some of our favorite Schwab moms and their sweet families.
We think moms are pretty amazing every day – but during the Pandemic? Moms are our superheroes – juggling baby feedings, kids and teens with homework and tests, conference calls, laundry and frankly just keeping life going. (And to be fair, we know there are many dads, partners and other caregivers that are giving this their all as well!)
Even though this Mother’s Day might feel a little different, we want to say thanks to all of the moms who do it all. And to celebrate we’d like to introduce you to some of our favorite Schwab moms and their sweet families. Happy Mother’s Day!

Kim Harja is mom to 16-year-old twins, Arden and Mason, and works for Schwab in Lone Tree. Kim (and truthfully basically every mom we spoke with) says, “I’ve learned that two teens in the house all day can eat a lot of food! I’m thankful we can drive to the grocery store (with masks of course) and replenish our food supply.”

In Lone Tree, Stephanie Howell is a mom of three kids, nine-year-old Tanner, four-year-old Teddy and 10-month-old Nicky. Stephanie says of her new working-mom life, “I’ve learned that’s okay if your baby is heard chirping away in the background of a conference call or if you need to block time on your calendar to proctor a spelling test.”
