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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is the unconditional love and appreciation from my children. Knowing that I am their safe space and the person they trust and adore brings me so much joy. It’s the little moments—the hugs, laughter, and the way they look at me with pure love—that make it all worthwhile. I don’t have to do anything extravagant; just being there for them is enough, and that is the most fulfilling feeling in the world.

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

One memory I’ll never forget is bringing my twins home from the NICU after their three-month stay. Having them so early at 27 weeks was a challenging journey, but walking out of those hospital doors with them in my arms was an indescribable feeling. It was a moment of pure joy, relief, and gratitude—a reminder of their strength and the power of love in their healing.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would invest more into the twins’ UTMA accounts to build their future and pay off our planned Disney trip making lasting memories for them. It’s important to balance financial growth with meaningful experiences.
