JENNA S.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY!

My husband’s name is Andy. Our daughter, Avi, is almost 2! Can’t believe it! We also have two dogs, a cat, two lizards, and a whole bunch of fish, snails, shrimp, and crayfish.

WHERE ARE YOU ORIGINALLY FROM?

Originally from Colorado. But I lived in St. Croix, Florida, and Connecticut before finally making my way back here!

WHAT IS/WAS YOUR CAREER?

Physician Assistant in the NICU

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT FIT4MOM AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER?

I found out just by doing a search for exercise classes I could do with my daughter! I have been a member since last July.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT FIT4MOM?

My favorite part is the other women! I love chatting with you during class (when we should be exercising) and getting to do playdates after!

WHAT HAS INSPIRED YOU THE MOST SINCE BEING A PART OF FIT4MOM?

All you other mamas who are doing things for themselves to ensure they are happy along with their kids!

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS SURPRISED YOU ABOUT MOTHERHOOD?

How much they want your attention ALL THE TIME. But also, how completely obsessed I am with how cute she is every single day.

WHAT ARE 3 OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS?

Mac and cheese, books, Avi! Not necessarily in that order!

WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST MOMMY MOMENT SO FAR?

I think it’s just the little things. Seeing her understand a new word or concept right away. Right now her favorite thing to say is, “I don’t want to!” but I’m like, wow, that’s a whole sentence!

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE A NEW MOTHER?

Don’t forget that you need to be happy too. Don’t stress about all the little things you are “supposed to do” or “supposed to NOT do”. Take the time for yourself when you need it. If you’re happy, your child will be happy too.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?

Thank you FIT4MOM crew! I feel like a found a little mom community!
