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

The most rewarding part of being a mom, especially with two little ones close in age, is watching them grow up together and build a bond that’s uniquely theirs. Seeing their little interactions—how they giggle at each other, share toys (even if it’s not always peacefully), and learn from one another—is the sweetest thing. It’s like having a front-row seat to a lifelong friendship forming in real-time. There’s also something so special about knowing that they’ll always have each other.

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

One memory I will never forget is the day I brought my youngest home from the hospital. My oldest was so filled with joy. His little face just lit up when he saw his baby brother for the first time. He immediately wanted to help with everything, whether it was handing me diapers (even when I didn’t need one) or trying to rock the baby in his bassinet. Even though he was often more in the way than actually helpful, his excitement and pure love in those first moments were unforgettable.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I’d use it to create a better future for my family. I’d invest in my kids’ education and experiences, hire childcare support to balance work and family life, and use a portion for a family trip to make special memories together. Ultimately, it’s about creating a solid foundation and giving my kids the best start.
