Tell us about your family. Hello my name is Ashley, I am married to Matt, now for 9 years. We have 3 daughters and 1 son. Addison is 10, Morgan is 8, Maddox is 2 & McKenna is 1. We have 1 dog named Thor, and 3 cats Wednesday, Hunter and Toby.

How did you meet your husband? I was introduced to my husband when I was 17. I was dating his friend Curt and when we didn't work out Matt got in contact with me. We dated on and off for a few years he's older than me, so I was in high school still and he was in the military. He traveled a lot with the Military and we went our separate ways. Until 2010 we got serious in our relationship.

Where are you originally from? I moved a lot when I was younger, but I graduated high-school from Aurora in 2010.

Tell us about your current or previous career. I went to college for Veterinary assistant, while I was in school I worked at dunkin donuts here in Streetsboro. I worked my way up to assistant manager. When I graduated from school I got hired at Aurora Veterinary center. I enjoyed my time as a working mom. Then Matt and I decided to start our own Hardscape business. So, I became a kinda stay at home mom. We run the business together but I do all the book work, payroll & running around all while I still get to be home with our children.

How did you find FIT4MOM? I learned about FIT4MOM on Facebook, not sure it just appeared on my feed and I followed it, I am so glad I did too!!

What is your proudest moment as a mom? My most recent proud mom moment is about a month ago, Maddox got a black sharpie and drew on the kitchen wall. He was so excited he came and dragged me to it to show me. I have been teaching him ASL since he was 10 months old, so he signed to me that he drew a blue fish on the wall. Even though it was a black sharpie and looks nothing like a fish, I was just so happy he signed it to me. I still have not scrubbed it off the wall!!

What's one thing you would go back and tell yourself as a new mom? I would tell myself to trust my mommy gut.
