There are some amazing moms in our Macaroni Kid community! In our "Meet a Local Mom" feature, we get to know some locals and what they're up to. This is also an opportunity to find out which local causes and businesses our local community can support! This feature is an attempt to empower all of us through connection.
Meet Brittney! This local mom is on a mission to support moms and kids through fitness and coaching. Her passion and specialty is helping moms through the prenatal and postpartum periods. Thanks for all you are doing to enrich our community, Brittney!
How many children do you have? What are their ages?
I have one daughter. She is almost 10 months old already!
Where are you from?
I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio but have lived in Delaware for about 5 years.
What's your favorite spot in Delaware to take the kids?
We love venturing down to Lewes and Cape Henlopen State Park. My little one loves to watch the waves and feel the water on her feet!
Coffee, tea, or wine?
Wine
Beach or mountains? Why?
Beach!! I just feel like being near the water is so healing and soothing. The sound of the waves, the sun shining on my skin and the sand in my toes is therapeutic and it helps me to reset.
Celebrity crush?
Bradley Cooper
Favorite "me time" activity? What do you do to feel like you are taking care of YOU?
I try to practice 3-5 minutes of meditation each morning. Journaling and reading are also favorite "me time" activities!
Good books lately? Naturally, both kids' books and/or adults' books are acceptable.
I love Nancy Tillmans books for children, although they always make me so emotional! I feel like she perfectly explains how a parent feels about their child. We also love Ah-Choo! by Lana Wayne Koehler.
I love to read so its hard for me to pick just one favorite! My favorite authors are Nicholas Sparks, Nora Roberts, Liane Moriarty and Elin Hilderrbrand. I'm on a first name basis with the local librarians!
Greatest joy that you have found in motherhood?
I love to just simply watch her learn and try to figure things out. Her little personality is so infectious already and everywhere we go she makes people smile.
Greatest challenge as a mom?
Letting go. She's not even a year old yet and I'm realizing how fast time flies. I want her to stay small forever but I also can't wait to watch her continue to grow!
Why do you love Macaroni Kid?
It is such a great resource for local events! I love the resources and support it provides for families.
Anything else that you would like to share?
I love the color pink. Pink everything. All the pink!
Family recipes are important to me! I have my moms banana bread recipe from when she was in highschool, my grandmas kolachky recipe (which is from her mother) and my mother-in-laws recipe for enchiladas!
I love outdoor living spaces! We eat dinner on our patio almost nightly in the summer and I also enjoy gardening and yardwork.
Are YOU a mom on a mission? Or do you just love your local edition of Macaroni Kid and want to tell us why? We would love to read about it! Let's have some fun. Submit your interview information and you could be featured! Feel free to contact bethanya@macaronikid.com for details.
