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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing the growth and joy of my little guy. From his first smile to when he first touched his toes, every moment is filled with love and pride. I love seeing him learn, overcome challenges, and develop his own unique personality. The bond shared, the unconditional love, and the little moments of laughter and affection make all the hard work worthwhile. Motherhood is a journey of love, strength, and endless rewards.

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

I will never forget is his first smile. At just a few weeks old, it lit up his face and my heart. The first time he snuggled into my arms, feeling his warmth and closeness, was another unforgettable moment. And then there was his first babble—his adorable "manabama" that made me melt. Each milestone, from his first coo to every new sound he makes, is etched in my heart, and I treasure every moment as he grows and learns. These “firsts” are the sweetest reminders of the joy he brings into my life

What would you do with $20,000?

I would first prioritize providing a safe and healthy environment for my baby boy. I’d invest in his well-being, ensuring he has everything he needs, from a cozy home to nutritious food. I’d also dedicate funds for him to participate in sports and activities that allow him to grow and explore his interests. We'd take trips to the beach, explore new places, and create lasting memories. Finally, I’d save for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Disney to make magical memories together.
