Abstract
I first fell in love with chemistry in high school, admiring the patterns in the periodic table which allowed prediction of the properties of the different elements, enjoying the challenge of balancing equations and stoichiometry, and recognizing the potential for solving societal problems with chemistry. Even before that I had fallen in love with babies. This chapter describes my journey combining motherhood and a career in higher education, loving chemistry.
