How did you find FIT4MOM?

Through Raelyn, another FIT4MOM mom :)

What is/was your career?

Before being a stay-at-home mom, I worked as a private investigator, mainly working on fraud cases.

How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces, and what has it done for you?

Since last May! FIT4MOM has built accountability and connections with other moms in our community. I’ve made some awesome mom friends and I’ve been able to get a great workout in without needing a babysitter. I look forward to every class! It’s truly the best thing I’ve done for myself. There is nothing more important than to stay healthy for our kids and family.

What is your favorite class exercise?

I love squats! Hoping to get this booty nice and firm again. :)

What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?

Motherhood is soooo unique!! I love how you think you have everything together one minute and the next minute you’re running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Then the kids do something so darn cute, that makes you forget you were running around crazy. I loveeeee being a mom!

What are three of your favorite things?

Traveling! Eating good food! And of course, my family :)

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

My proudest mommy moment would have to be being able to hold down the fort while my hubby is working. He works so hard for us out of state and I can say I feel confident doing everything needed for our family while he is away.

What advice would you give to a new mother?

I would say don’t be afraid to do things with your kids. If you want to go hike, buy a hiking backpack and take them with you. If you want to go shopping bring lots of snacks and go shopping. Life doesn’t end with kids, it’s only starting. 💕

Anything else you'd like to add?

FIT4MOM is like a sisterhood. I truly love all the girls and all the different personalities. I wasn’t raised with sisters. I have four brothers, so finding this group of ladies has definitely made my world a better place.

We are so lucky to have Ashley in our village. It wouldn't be the same without her and her girls!
