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

The most rewarding part of being a mom for me, is seeing the pure happiness and love in my baby’s eyes. Every hug, giggle, and milestone fills my heart with pride. I cherish the bond we share, knowing I’m their safe haven and source of comfort. As I prepare for the arrival of my second baby, I feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment. It’s in those quiet moments of togetherness with my first son that I find my greatest joy, and I can’t wait to experience that with my growing family :)

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

One unique experience with my son that I'll never forget was when we went to the beach for the first time. He was a little hesitant at first, but as soon as he felt the sand between his toes, his face lit up with pure wonder. He started squealing and crawling around, trying to grab handfuls of sand. Then, when we took him to the water, he giggled as the waves splashed his feet. I’ll never forget the way he looked back at me with sheer excitement, as if he was discovering a whole new world.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I got $20,000, I'd invest it in our children's education fund to secure their future and save a portion for any unexpected expenses, providing financial security for our family. With my husband being a Marine and often away, and myself as a stay-at-home mom and college student, money can be tight. So- it would go a long way in ensuring stability and peace of mind for us all.
