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

The most rewarding part is those quiet, early morning moments when I wake up to my babies smiles—like sunshine breaking through everything. It’s the little hands that reach for me, the trust in their eyes, and the strength I find in myself because of them. Being a mother means choosing love over comfort every day, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Although challenging, It’s the most selfless and soulful journey I’ve ever been on—and truly, the best decision of my life.

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

I’ll never forget the first time my oldest called me “Momma”—it was such a simple word, but it shook me to my core and brought tears to my eyes. And now, with my newborn, I treasure those sweet giggles in her sleep. It’s like I get to witness magic in real time, and each moment becomes a part of who I am.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d finally be able to give my girls the security of a home we can call our own—a place filled with love, laughter, and stability, without worrying about rent hikes. I’d also start a savings fund for their education, because investing in their future is the greatest gift I could ever give them.
