How did your life change when you became a mother?

"Everything shifted. In my early twenties, after losing my father, my son came into my life. He was the greatest gift, arriving exactly when I needed him most. His presence marked a profound change – a new door opened, filled with love and purpose."

What do you love the most about being a mother?

"Motherhood introduced me to an unconditional and deep love. It's a beautiful connection I had never experienced before."

What’s your biggest daily challenge as a mother?

"There are never enough arms or time! With three children, I often feel stretched thin, wishing each one could receive equal love, kisses, and hugs. Guilt can creep in, but I remind myself that they are safe and deeply loved. What I give is enough."

What do you miss the most from your life before children?

"Spontaneity. I miss being able to make last-minute plans, although honestly, I’m usually too tired for that now. Still, I make an effort to carve out time for myself – moments with friends, solo outings, and time alone. These experiences recharge me and enrich my role as a mother."

How do you take care of yourself to be a present mother?

"Since my children were small, I’ve made self-care a priority. This commitment has helped me maintain a healthy balance and be more present for my family."

What surprised you the most about motherhood?

"When I became pregnant with my second child, I feared I wouldn’t have enough love to give – that I could never love another child as much as my first. But I could. I’m constantly amazed at the vastness of love our hearts can hold."

What’s your favorite thing to do together as a family?

"We love spending time at our summer house. The peace, nature, and absence of hectic schedules offer a beloved escape and precious quality time together."
