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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing your child’s growth into an independent, smart, and confident individual. Seeing them make decisions, solve problems, and embrace life with curiosity and strength fills you with immense pride. Watching them develop their own sense of identity and knowing that you played a key role in shaping that journey is deeply fulfilling. It’s an ongoing reminder of the love, effort, and wisdom you’ve shared to help them thrive.

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

Choosing a favorite memory is tough, but I think I’ll have to go with the time I took my son to Miami for a mini vacation just the two of us. At the time, he was totally into Blippi, so I made a whole weekend out of going to his first concert. I’ll never forget how excited he was to see Blippi live! He danced and sang the whole time. That weekend was packed with excitement for him - the show, the beach, exploring the science museum, and even going through a drive-through zoo.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I’d use part of it to move into a home where my son can have his own room. For the rest I’d allocate a portion for my son’s private education, either for one year’s tuition or to save for future school costs. The remaining money would go into a high-interest savings account for college tuition.
