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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching your children grow into their own unique selves—seeing them learn, overcome challenges, and achieve their dreams. It's the unconditional love, the small moments of laughter, and knowing that you've helped shape a strong, kind, and capable person. Seeing them succeed and knowing you’ve played a part in their journey makes all the hard work worth it.

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

One memory I will never forget is seeing the pure joy on their faces during a simple, everyday moment—whether it was their first steps, the first time they rode a bike without training wheels, or a heartfelt “I love you” out of nowhere. Those little moments of pride, laughter, and love stick with me more than anything else.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would prioritize using it wisely. I might set some aside for savings or investments, pay off any outstanding bills, help my family in need and put a portion toward something meaningful—like a family trip, home improvements, or even supporting a cause close to my heart. Of course, I’d leave a little for something fun, too!
