How long have you been part of FIT4MOM and how did you find us?

I've been a member since September 2021 and found on an Facebook ad

What keeps you coming back to FIT4MOM?

The community and friendships that I and my kids have made. It is so nice to have somewhere to take my kids in the mornings where we all can socialize and and 'get our energy out.

Favorite mom moment

Probably the day of each of their births. I just remember that feeling of seeing them for the first time and feeling so lucky that they are mine.

Share a hidden talent, business you own

I really love to sing. I was part of several groups throughout college and it is something that I would like to get back into once I have the time.

Anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I am always up for an adventure and love trying new things. It's actually a trait that makes me love my husband so much - he is always willing to tag along!

Advice for a new mom?

One of my favorite episodes of Bluey that always makes me cry is the one where Chili is talking about being a new mom and feeling like she's not doing a good job because Bluey isn't reaching a milestone as quickly as another kid. A fellow mom goes to her home and simply tells her 'you're doing great.' It makes me cry every time because I felt this so much with my twins. I even went to the doctor and asked if I was doing this right. There is no guide for parenting and honestly, most of us have no idea what we're doing. Even with 3 I still second guess myself. This is why we need each other. This is why I love this group. It is such a safe and supportive space where we can be there for each other and lift each other up when things get hard.
