Meet Ashley Copperstone! She has been doing an amazing job filling in for Mackenzie as Our Village Captain!

What or who brought you to Fit4Mom? Finding a community of other parents since I was the first in my friend group to have a kiddo! And moving, moving twice in three years didn't help.

What class do you attend/like the most?

Stroller Barre!

Tell us a little about yourself – what is your life like outside of FIT4MOM?

My family and I are originally from New York City, but we just moved to Michigan last year for work. I'm a mom to my very lovely but crazy 2.5 year old Olivia, a medical spouse (aka: you'll probably never meet my husband, Brian, he lives at DeVos), and an early childhood special education teacher, now turned professor. When I am not at class, you can find me teaching pre-service teachers, painting or playing dollhouse or babies with Olivia, or listening to audio books (talk to me about ACOTAR, let's be friends). If someone could help me find decent dim sum or burritos that are not "wet" in Grand Rapids, I would appreciate it. I also make a pretty decent margarita.

What is your favorite restaurant without kids and favorite restaurant with kids?

Favorite restaurant with kids is definitely Third Nature Brewery or Harmony, and my favorite without kids is Gin-Gin's!

Fun fact about yourself:

My fun fact is that my husband and I were locally "internet famous" for most of our 20's for running a NYC food blog, which we sold when we left New York.
