Moxie Moms | Meet the Area Manager

Being new to Katy this fall, I was eager to learn as much as I could about the new area we would soon call home! In the process of looking for fun stuff for my son and I to do, I attended a Moxie Mom event and instantly felt right at home in Katy.

What a great program- moms, kiddos, activities AND I can save money- this is too good to be true! But it is TRUE and a great network to be part of in the Katy area. So while I am still finding my way around and getting lost…my family has had fun “discovering” many of the business partners of Moxie Moms and saving money all at the same time!

My husband often jokes that there is no way the term “stay at home mom” fits me…because my son and I are hardly ever HOME! We love being on the go and out and about meeting people, friends and having fun.

My favorites are:

Going to the park, bike riding, and being outside with my son
Attending family oriented activities on the weekends that way daddy can have fun too!
Discovering and exploring new attractions, events and sites- right in my own back yard!
Bargain hunting for deals, freebies and great finds!
Planning activities, playgroups, and field trips for my son and our friends.

My mommy strategy . . .

Think positive! Life with a child is completely unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming, so I always try to look for the positive side to every situation and truly believe things happen for a reason.

So whether it be:·

My son cooking pancakes and dumping mix all over the kitchen (positive side- he’s learning to be a good husband!)
My husband going through the low hanging drive-thru with the Rental Moving Van and getting stuck (positive side- we bought the damage insurance!)
Me, making a wrong turn or three off Grand Parkway and getting very lost (positive side- I found a shortcut to get home…after I stopped and asked for directions!)

For every gray cloud out there…you have to search for the silver lining!

Before I was a mom . . .

Before my son was born I spent some time in the lab as a chemist and then went on to work for a scientific placement service as a recruiter and later a sales manager both in Los Angeles and here in Houston. I am not really a “lab rat” so I found sales and marketing a refreshing career change, where I could still utilize my science background and combine it with my “people skills”. Once I became a mom I was excited to stay home with my son but also sought out ways to continue to use my “people skills”. Moxie Moms fits perfectly with my personality and passions: family, personal connections, sales, marketing and saving money. I look forward to helping Kathy make it better than ever in Katy!

I look forward to hearing from you or meeting you at a Moxie Moms event. The best way to contact me is by email. You can reach me at Kristi @ moxie-moms.com
