One thing people would be surprised to know about you…
I am actually very introverted, it has taken me a long time to feel confident and put myself out there the way that I do now.
Anyone special you’d like to thank for helping you through parenthood?
My mom friends!! And group chats!! I don’t know what I’d do without having them to talk to or vent to throughout the day.
Favorite things to do with your kids?
We love to go anywhere they can run around free, or explore new places
Are you involved in a business venture, a local organization, a creative endeavor, or in the corporate world? Please share!
Yes!!! I recently started my own baby clothing brand, I didn’t like any of the typical clothes on the market for my kids, I wanted things that were more simple, neutral colors, with less graphics. This year has been so much fun becoming a business owner and learning all kinds of new things and meeting so many new amazing people! It’s called Bare Baby Clothing and we are online, and also in person at the Gathering Shops in Bell Works.
How has this community been instrumental in getting you to where you are now?
I have met so many amazing moms through this community, attending events, and getting out of the house! I love looking at what’s going on in the area on the weekends and doing new things I wouldn’t have known about otherwise!

What are your Mom Goals?
To keep doing what makes me happy without caring about what everyone else thinks, and mainly to cheer on other moms who live their lives the same way!! I love meeting other moms with similar goals as mine, and I love even more clapping for their success.
