Lily Yeh
Mom to Peyton, age 5
and Alyssa, age 3
Vienna, VA
Nominated by Amy Chou
Not only is Lily an amazing mom to
two little girls, she is the go-to mom all
our friends reach out to for questions
or help with parenting. Last year she
also started a company called Little
Loving Hands, which provides parents
with creative craft kits for their children
to make and then donate to charities.

It’s a great way to teach young
children they can make an impact on
someone who is less fortunate.

What’s the best parenting advice
you’ve ever received?
To treasure every moment, even the
tough moments as they will pass. Time
definitely goes by fast and they grow up
so quickly.

What advice would you give to
new or expectant mothers?
You will and probably have
already got a lot of advice, so my
biggest advice is to take it all in,
but apply only what works for you.

There isn’t a “right way.” We all
want to be the best mom we can
be, but know that in your child’s
eyes, having you love and care
for them already makes you top
notch. How has motherhood changed
your outlook on life?
It’s definitely made me re-prioritize
what is truly important in life and not
stress over the small things. With kids,
you never know what will happen and
you have to just take everything in
stride. I also put extra effort into making
sure I set a good example for my
children. Who is your role model?
My husband, Jeff. He definitely earns
the title of being the better half. As a
husband and a dad, Jeff is the most
patient and understanding person I’ve
ever met and our family is so lucky to
have him.

What goals do you have for yourself?
buy. She chose to buy two, saying she
wanted one for her sister. When she
gave it to her sister, she received a
great big hug and kiss on the forehead
in return which brought her such joy.

How do you think your children would
describe you?
My girls would describe me as
being caring, strict when needed
and extremely goofy. I’m lucky they

are still young, as I’m sure some

as “embarrassing” rather than
“entertaining” in the near future.

I hope to continue to do the best
I can to raise my children to be well-
rounded, kind and happy individuals.

My goal is to further grow and expand
Little Loving Hands so more children
can be involved in charitable giving and
helping others.

What goals do you have for your
children? My goal is for them to pursue their
passions and always keep in mind the
impact that they can have on others’
lives. I hope they are as fortunate as me
to grow up and have a wonderful family
of their own to experience the wonders
of being a mom.
