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

The most rewarding part of being a mom of five is watching the bond between my children grow stronger every day. In the midst of the chaos, there’s so much love—giggles that fill our home, little hands reaching for mine, and moments that remind me how blessed I am. Motherhood has stretched me, refined me, and deepened my faith in ways I never imagined. It’s not always easy, but every hug, every laugh, and every lesson shared makes it the most beautiful journey.

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

Flying to South Korea just four months postpartum with my second set of twins—18 hours in the air with five little ones was unforgettable. The big girls embraced every change in plans, the babies stayed calm, and through every challenge, hubby and I stayed united as a team. We adapted, laughed, and made it through together. By the time we landed, one thing was certain—no matter where life leads us, this crew is always ready for the next adventure.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I’d pour it into creating unforgettable experiences for my kids—traveling to new places, investing in their education, and giving them opportunities to grow in ways they’ll never forget. It’s not just about the money; it’s about the memories, the lessons, and the moments that shape who they become. Every adventure, every opportunity, every door opened is a gift that lasts far beyond the prize—it’s an investment in their future.
