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

It would be witnessing your children grow. I love seeing them try new things and watching their faces light up with joy as they run with a little extra skip in their step. Although motherhood was challenging at first due to postpartum depression during my first pregnancy, the support I received helped me find the silver lining and focus on being the best mother I can be. Mom life can be tough, but experiencing life and new things through my children's eyes makes the journey beautiful.

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

I will never forget the first time my oldest daughter met her little sister at the hospital. She was the first to meet our baby girl, and we wanted that moment to be incredibly special and filled with love. My oldest daughter’s eyes were filled with affection and care as she embraced her new role as the big sister. It was a moment I will always cherish.

What would you do with $20,000?

At 25, I made a wish at the Trevi Fountain for two daughters after learning it would be hard for me to have children. After a challenging pregnancy, I welcomed a baby girl, followed by another three years later. While some may see it as coincidence, I believe it’s a wish come true. With $20,000, I’d love to take my daughters to Rome and travel throughout Italy, a place that holds a special significance for me.
