Judy Truong of Sorrento Valley with kids

Evelynn (3) and Everett (5).

“The best part of being a mom is creating memories with my kids. They remind me to take a pause from everyday chaos and admire the beauty around us (such as a ladybug on a leaf).”

Shayla Colton of University Heights with daughter Rosie (21 months). “I love being a mom because there is nothing like seeing joy, love and happiness on my daughter’s face. Rosie is beyond what I could wish my child to be; she is my beautiful rainbow baby.”

Grace Kim of 4S Ranch and son Roi Park (7) volunteer together by playing piano recitals at a local retirement home. “Being Mom to this happy and exuberant boy me to be grateful for the little things in life. I just want to hold on to these precious moments forever.”

Amanda Peterson of Lakeside daughters Lily (6) and Rosie (one month). “I love watching their faces light up when they learn something new, exploring with them, teaching them things, trying new foods, and seeing everything through their eyes. They are the coolest people I know!” a mother is such a blessing. My daughter challenges me to be a better person, more resilient, and to live life with more purpose.”
