May 2022 Mom of the Month: Kelsey Lawson

Introduce yourself! :)

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am Steven’s wife, mama to Lyla and Lucy, and expecting a baby girl in July!

Where were you born?

I was born and raised in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Where do you call home?

The Woodlands!! We moved here from Austin and have loved every minute… the parks, the events, the people — this is definitely home!

Introduce your kiddo/s.

My kiddos are named Lyla, Lucy, and our newest little one will be named… soon, once we can all agree :)! Lyla is 6 and loves her school, being outside, gymnastics, and baking. Lucy is 2 and loves going to our workouts at F4M, being outside, music, and books… Being their mama is the best!

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

I started FIT4MOMming here in The Woodlands the second week we moved here in June of 2021… I was immediately invited to a splash pad play date, before we even had our first workout with the group, and felt so at home! Previously, I had been a member of Austin and College Station’s F4M groups so I knew I had to find the group here.

Share a hidden talent.

I can read quite fast… especially if it’s a book I’m really into!

Share a favorite mom moment.

School pick up everyday, I love getting to see how excited Lyla and Lucy are to see one another!

Share a most challenging mom moment.

Potty training! We started and restarted with Lyla 3 or 4 times and are on the second round with Lucy… Fingers crossed!!

What did you do before kid(s)?

I was a nanny, a preschool teacher, and worked in the ABA field before having kids.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

5 years from now all of our girls will be in school so I will likely go back to work, either as a teacher or back to the ABA field!

What keeps you coming back to Stroller Strides?

The moms! The moms here are all so kind, incredibly skilled (and willing to share their skills), and they welcomed me and my kids with open arms… I’m so grateful that I get to call these moms friends!

Share 3 things you love to do other than FIT4MOMming

I love reading any and all kinds of books, listening to true crime podcasts, and doing crossword puzzles with Steven!
