Introduce yourself! :)

Hi Im Katelyn, Mom to Axel and wife to Justin :)

Where were you born?

I was born in Tucson, Arizona in the crazy July heat at home. My mom had me with a midwife in her own bed! Now as a Mom, I can hardly imagine that but think its so cool.

Where do you call home?

The Woodlands is now home. Its wonderful to think that we haven't been here 2 years yet and it already feels like home. It helps that we have extended family close by and an amazing group of friends, thanks to Fit4Mom! Before that - Northern Virginia was our home for many years, and we still love to go back and visit friends and family.

Introduce your kiddo.

I'm Mom to Axel, my 2 year old ray of sunshine and joy! For anyone that knows Axel, they know he is adventurous, and loves to climb. He also is super sweet and snuggly, which I love so much. He is just the best :)

How long have you been Stroller Striding/FIT4MOMming and how did you find us?

I joined Fit4Mom the first week (maybe first day) I moved to The Woodlands and was looking for a mom group to meet friends. I thought "hey, I like to work out, this is great" and it turned out to be the best thing for us! Axel gets his playdates, and time outside, and we both have made wonderful friends!

Share a hidden talent.

I play the piano and recently got a piano for our home here. It's been fun to get back into it after a lot of years.

Share a favorite mom moment.

I just love those everyday moments when Axel says something for the first time, or we are laughing and being silly about nothing, or all the cuddles! Axel did just recently say "Love You" for the first time, and I about melted.

Share a most challenging mom moment.

Any time you have a sick babe!! You just want them to be well and feeling better.

What did you do before kid(s)?

I worked in Real Estate as a Realtor and in New Home Sales in Virginia, Maryland and DC.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I imagine I'll be spending my weekends watching Axel play sports, and other extracurriculars. And I'll be working in residential real estate, helping people buy and sell their homes here in TX!

What keeps you coming back to FIT4MOM?

The community of other moms, the crafts, and the dedicated time outside getting some sunshine.

Share 3 things you love to do other than FIT4MOMming

1. Food 2. Wine 3. Travel ... Other than being a mom, My passion in life is food and travel. Any chance I get to explore a new city, or check out an exciting restaurant I am always game. I lose serious track of time researching places and putting together itineraries for a trip. And I am essentially a food and drink traveler - Chasing amazing ambiance and fantastic food and cocktails! Cheers!
