Each month, we're celebrating a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces for her commitment to a healthy lifestyle and dedication to FIT4MOM.

This month, we're spotlighting a sweet mom of two who has been with our village through two postpartum journeys! Meet our Mom of the Month for March: Hope Fielder

Tell us about who is in your family!

My amazing husband Isaiah and I have Zion who is 21 months (my little fluffy hair silly guy) and Ada girl who is 5 months old 🤍

Where is your hometown?

I was born in Las Cruces :)

How did you find FIT4MOM?

My sister-in-law, Lauryn introduced it to me! She kept telling me how awesome it was. So glad I joined :)

What is/was your career?

I’m currently a portrait photographer and before I had Zion, I taught elementary special education.

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

I’ve been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces for about a year and a half. Fitness has always been a big part of my family’s lifestyle, but stepping into a new season of motherhood, I was afraid I might lose sight of that part of myself. FIT4MOM gave me more than just workouts — it gave me community, accountability, and more confidence. It’s helped me stay strong physically and mentally while navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. It’s truly been such a gift in this season and I have made some amazing mom friends that I know I’ll have forever. :)

What is your favorite class?

I recently started attending Run Club+ and have fallen in love again with running. There is something so freeing about it! I also love the challenge of Strides 360.

What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?

I didn’t expect the ordinary moments of life with my family to feel so sacred! Motherhood has made the everyday feel incredibly meaningful and time passes so quickly. I always think of that quote from Interstellar where Cooper says “now we’re just here to be memories for our kids.” Recently I’ve been spending longer in the evenings reading books with Zion because I’m realizing just how fast it goes!

What are three of your favorite things?

Jesus, pickleball, and watching a really good film with Isaiah

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

I am so proud of how much Zion loves to read books. Both Isaiah and I love books and we see how much he’s learned and picked up already just by loving to read and look through the pages. We also are so proud of seeing him become a big brother!

What advice would you give to a new mother?

Give yourself constant grace and soak up every moment. When life gets hard and you become weary, don’t forget to remind yourself of what a joy & honor it is to be a mom.

Anything else you'd like to add?

Thank you guys!! FIT4MOM has changed my life 🤍

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