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

Motherhood teaches you to measure time not by hours or days but by milestones and memories—first steps, sleepy sighs, and spontaneous laughter. The best part is that in your child’s eyes, you are timeless—a constant, eternal source of love, no matter how fast the world spins.

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

How much she loves the dogs despite how grumpy they are.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to support my husband’s fight against brain cancer by covering his treatment costs. I would invest in my small business so I can continue working from home—raising my daughter and caring for my husband, who can’t work right now. Lastly, I would use the money to create more family memories, like camping trips, making the most of the time we have together. This would give us stability, hope, and cherished moments.
