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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing the pure joy, growth, and resilience of my children. From their first steps to their biggest dreams, every milestone is a reminder of the love and lessons we share. Seeing them thrive, knowing I’ve nurtured their confidence and kindness, makes every challenge worth it. Motherhood isn’t just about raising kids—it’s about growing alongside them, creating memories, and shaping a future filled with love.

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

One memory I will never forget is the first time my kids saw the Disney Backyard Railroad come to life. Their eyes widened with pure wonder, and they laughed with uncontainable joy as they rode the tiny train. In that moment, nothing else mattered—just their happiness, the magic in the air, and the unforgettable feeling of experiencing something so special together.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20K, I’d finally take my kids on the vacation they deserve. After escaping domestic violence at the end of 2023, we’ve been focused on rebuilding, and a real getaway hasn’t been possible. I’d love to take them somewhere magical—where they can just be kids, free from stress and worry. The rest would go into their college fund, ensuring they have the bright future they deserve. After everything we’ve been through, they deserve joy, adventure, and security.
