even now as adults, she still makes us quake in our boots

[diamondcutter]

As far as mothers go, I got lucky. “Is that really your mom?”--said in the most incredulous of tone--was a constant refrain when I was growing up. Now that I’m an adult, I see what the fuss was about. My mother is cool--way cooler than average. Not only that, she is so gorgeous and youthful that she could pass for my very hip older sister.
Being a single mother of two couldn’t have been easy, but she made it work. She was a fun and cool girlfriend to have growing up, but was also authoritative enough that even now as adults, she still makes us quake in our boots.
I give my mom full credit for making me the person who I am today. And as a tribute to her, I’d like to share some of the things I learned from her.

Should “even now as adults” be “even though we are adults now”?

No, there's no need to reword it. I would, however, put a comma before "as adults".

I would also put another comma before "growing up".

That may be comma overload.
