Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my two sons grow, learn, and overcome challenges. My heart is fullest when I see their unique personalities shine. Whether it’s my youngest discovering his passions or my eldest autistic son achieving milestones in his own time. The unconditional love, laughter, and strength they bring into my life remind me daily of the beauty in patience, understanding, and resilience. Motherhood has taught me to celebrate every victory, big or small.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

One memory I’ll never forget is the first time my autistic son said, “I love you.” It was a moment I had waited for, and when it finally happened, my heart melted. The joy and emotion in that simple phrase reminded me that love speaks in its own time and way. Another unforgettable memory is watching my son's bond, seeing my oldest protect and guide his brother with so much care. These moments remind me that love, patience, and understanding create the most beautiful memories.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won the $20,000, I would invest in my son's therapy to give him the best support and resources to thrive. His growth and happiness mean everything to me. I’d also put some towards expanding my businesses, allowing me to help more people with skin concerns. Lastly, I’d set aside savings for my family’s future, ensuring stability and opportunities for my son's. Every dollar would go toward building a better, brighter future for them.
