What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM? I love meeting and getting to know all the other amazing mamas, while getting in a good work out too!

What is your current job? Or what did you do before staying at home (if you don’t currently work outside the home)? I’m working part time as a physical therapist.

Share your thoughts on the concept of “it takes a village” – is it important for moms to join a village? Absolutely. We all need a little extra support! All the moms I’ve met have been so encouraging and empathetic, and it’s nice to talk with people that can understand the challenges of raising a baby! I’ve gotten lots of good advice, travel tips, and even some baby hand me downs!

What is your favorite dessert? Red velvet cake. Or crème brûlée. Or the Met Market Cookie.

You are given 4 hours of FREE babysitting. What would you do? I would take my paddleboard out on the lake, then a trip to the spa for a massage, then out to a restaurant to eat a meal in peace without having to clean up a huge mess after.

What is your ultimate child-free vacation destination? Maldives in an overwater bungalow

How has becoming a mother changed you? I’m learning to be much more flexible and patient, and how to organize my life around a nap schedule!

I am happiest when... spending time with my little family. I love seeing Kingston’s sweet little personality emerge, watching him learn new skills, and discover all the new and amazing things in the world around him.
