Motherhood is as challenging as it is rewarding, and it helps when you have the right support system in place. From having the right partner to proper tools to aid the upbringing of your children, some things can make motherhood easier. Count Volvo XC60 Recharge as one of the helpful companions.
“Although I became a mother slightly later in life, it has been everything that I dreamt it would be,” shares Chen Su-San, director of Eastin Hotel. “Motherhood is ever-changing; it has taught me to be more flexible, calm, patient, and to think on my feet!”
Her packed schedule means she has to expertly navigate time—and traffic—for work and family duties. “I truly enjoy doing the school runs, and try my best to drop and pick up my boys from school. I love hearing stories about their day,” admits the mother of two spritely young boys.
“And I must say that the Volvo XC60 Recharge helps me get through my day in a calm and composed manner. It's just the right size for a small family, and the SUV is versatile enough for both short trips and long drives,” says Chen, who also enjoys the level of comfort the Volvo XC60 Recharge provides her and her family.
