Each month, we play 10 questions with one of Alberta’s most interesting mamas. This month we get to know Monica Hui!
Monica is a working mom in Calgary, Alberta, constantly looking for ways to do things faster and faster so that she can slow down to have pretend picnics with her daughter.

WAHM/D, SAHM/D, Work out of the home or other?

Tell us about a mom/dad who inspires you?
My dad inspires me to be patient, selfless, and caring towards everyone.
What’s the fondest memory you have of your life as a mom/dad so far? The biggest challenge?
My fondest memory is seeing the proud look on my daughter’s face when she completed her gymnastics course at age 3.5 years old and was receiving her certificate. She was the last one to be called but waited patiently and walked up confidently!
The biggest challenge has been allowing her to do things on her own because she is now a “big girl.”
Would you rather be able to see 10 minutes into your own future or 10 minutes into the future of anyone but yourself? Why?
Definitely 10 minutes into my own future. If I like what I see, sweet! If I don’t, I will likely try to adjust and change my future. I’m super proactive.
You and your oldest child switch bodies for an hour. What do they do? What do you do?
My daughter would go out to my car and try to drive it. I would go take a nap.
