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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my children grow, learn, and discover the world around them. Seeing their excitement, resilience, and curiosity reminds me of what truly matters. Knowing that I play a role in shaping their future, providing them with love, guidance, and meaningful experiences, makes every challenge worth it. It’s about creating a life filled with purpose, joy, and memories that will last a lifetime—both for them and for me.

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

One of my favorite memories with my kids was our wedding day. After five years as a single mom, finding love later in life made it even more special. My son, then 7, walked me down the aisle, and dancing with our daughter was a moment I’ll always cherish. It wasn’t just about my husband and me —it was a celebration of our whole family. Untraditional but perfect, it was a day filled with love, joy, and the beautiful life we’ve built together.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I’d invest in my kids’ college funds to give them a strong start for their future. I’d also put some toward a new, safe vehicle for our growing family of almost five, ensuring we have the space and security we need for all of life’s adventures ahead!
