July 2022 Mom of the Month: Morgan Hairston

Introduce yourself! :)

Hi! I’m Morgan! People might describe me as nice, a great friend, patient and empathetic. I love to spend time with family and friends, exercise, do home projects, and dabble in my hobbies when I have free time.

Where were you born?

New Port News, Virginia. Lived there for about a year and moved to Memphis, Tennessee. Lived there my whole life until I moved here in 2015.

Where do you call home?

My family is in Memphis but I have now found The Woodlands, Texas to be home.

Introduce your kiddo/s.

Carlisle Anne. She turned 2 on St. Patty's Day and she is my little lucky charm. I love and adore her so much. She is sweet, smart, playful, funny, loves dogs and babies, books, Barbie’s, coloring, Toy Story, the pool and to dance.

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

I started in the fall of 2020. I found out about FIT4MOM through my mom. She saw a FIT4MOM group in Memphis and thought it looked awesome and did research for me and reached out to Bri. Awesome job, mom!

Share a hidden talent.

I can crochet and keep about any house plant alive and thriving.

Share a favorite mom moment.

Playing music and dancing in the living room with Carlisle. It’s becoming an everyday occurrence that is so special.

Share a most challenging mom moment.

Right when she turned two the “new Carlisle” emerged. A lot more emotions and feelings to navigate.

What did you do before kid(s)?

I graduated from the University of Memphis and immediately started in the ABA Therapy field, working with kids on the spectrum.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Being a mom to a couple of kids and still enjoying that mom grind.

What keeps you coming back to Stroller Strides?

The community, workouts, and getting out of the house with my daughter and seeing her play with friends.

Share 3 things you love to do other than FIT4MOMming

Working out on my Peloton, reading and crocheting.
