The Homeland Language Services family would like to dedicate these words to all the incredible mothers out there. You are the heart and soul of our families, the ones who bring warmth, love, and strength into our lives every single day. Today, we celebrate you and all that you do.
Mother’s Day is not just about flowers, gifts, or grand gestures; it’s about acknowledging the immense sacrifices, love, and devotion that mothers pour into their roles every single day. It’s about recognizing the countless sleepless nights, the selfless acts of kindness, and the unwavering support they provide, often without seeking anything in return.
This celebration is not limited to biological mothers; it extends to all maternal figures who have played a nurturing and supportive role in our lives. Whether it’s a grandmother, an aunt, a stepmother, or a mentor, these women have left an indelible mark on our lives and deserve to be honored and celebrated on this special day.
To the new mothers who are experiencing the joys and challenges of parenthood for the first time, cherish every moment, for time flies by in the blink of an eye. Embrace the sleepless nights, the messy diapers, and the endless cuddles, for these are the moments that will shape your journey as a mother.
For this special occasion, we decided to talk to the moms behind the team of Homeland Language Services, the amazing women who keep us going strong every day!
We asked about their life as a parent and a full-time worker.
These were their thoughts:
“Being a mom is already a 24-hour job, and I usually cope with my jobs and motherhood. But of all the jobs I ever had, being a mother has been the best, from the moment I found out that twins were coming my way!
When they come back from school at 5 pm I help them with homework until 9 pm and work at the same time. They are ghosts that appear behind the meeting background picture. However hard being a mother of twins is when they hug you and say, “Thank you, mom”, they make all the effort worth doing.”
- Florencia Gomez, our Contract Manager, superhero mom of twins.
“Being a mom helped me work within the chaos. I am calm when my kids are playing and laughing. I make sure that I make time, and play with them before or after work. They are my inspiration and my motivation to keep going.”
- Stella Mae Bautista, our Sales Manager, multitasking queen with 4 amazing kids.
“My daughter is magical and makes the process easier. It’s funny because she brings me the computer and says, “Mom, here’s your work.” I’ve had to attend meetings while changing diapers, and divide my mind in two to be in two places at the same time, so I think being a mother and working at the same time trains your brain to be the champion of multitasking, ha-ha.”
- Ludmila Kobluk, our Talent Acquisition Specialist & Team Leader, mommy to one beautiful baby girl.
“Being a mom is hard; having a job is hard. Then, what about being a working mom? Being a working mom is the most stressful thing I’ve ever experienced. Full of appointments, therapies, and meetings. Every day is a blessing and a learning experience, full of challenges to overcome. If it wasn’t enough, being a working mom of a child with special needs is completely different. Some days may be good, some others bad, but all days are hard, and I don’t wish my life was any different. The reality is that there’s no such thing as a perfect balance. It’s all about finding what works for your family and your business and making compromises when needed.”
- Martina Viegas, our Translation Dept. Manager, super mom to the most beautiful little angel.
“I’m going to be a mom soon, and I am so happy to be celebrating my first Mother’s Day. I’ve experienced all the ups and downs that come with being pregnant – from feeling tired and nauseous to being super emotional one moment and full of energy the next. But I’ve learned to go with the flow and listen to my body every step of the way. It’s all been worth it to experience this incredible journey into motherhood!”
- Dana Molgaray, our Sales Representative, soon to be a first-time mommy.
“I’m sure that the most important thing we develop (or at least we’re pushed to) while balancing our jobs and motherhood is our resilience, based on the infinite love we feel for our kids. Being a mother is dealing with a new challenge, a new and harder videogame level every day as our little ones grow. And It doesn’t matter how many hours of sleep we had, how are we feeling – we just go and juggle all our daily missions. We develop that superpower of going on every day, and doing what has to be done despite everything – and the main reason and source of this power, this inspiration for me, is absolutely my baby girl. It’s never been easy, but I just can’t see myself without my girl anymore.”
- Larissa Mohalmen, our Team Leader, mom to one of our future co-workers.
On their special day, may we all take a moment to celebrate the remarkable women who have touched our lives with their love, wisdom, and grace. Whether you are a mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, or friend, your impact is immeasurable!
Above all, Mother’s Day is a time to say “thank you” – thank you for the love that knows no bounds, thank you for the sacrifices made, and thank you for the countless ways you have enriched our lives. To all the mothers out there, we honor you, we cherish you, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
