Hello, everyone! My name is Autumn, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself as part of the Fresh Mommy community. I wear many hats—wife, mom, friend, budget enthusiast, tennis lover, and foodie extraordinaire—but above all else, I’m just me, doing my best to balance it all while staying true to who I am.

I’ve been happily married to my soulmate since 2009, and together we’ve had the privilege of living in Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., Key West, and Clearwater, Florida because of my husband’s service in the Coast Guard. It’s definitely an unconventional lifestyle, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything. Since 2011, I’ve been fortunate enough to stay at home with our amazing son, Max, and while I miss aspects of my previous careers in finance and education, I absolutely adore the joy and fulfillment that comes with being a full-time mom.

When I’m not chasing after little feet or balancing budgets, you can usually find me immersed in one of my favorite hobbies. Books? Love them! I’m always open to recommendations. Tennis? Totally obsessed. Budgeting? Surprisingly addictive. Cooking and baking? Let’s just say I’ve developed quite the repertoire—and now I’m trying to channel those skills into becoming a runner. Baby steps, right?

I met Tabitha through our church, and she’s become such a wonderful influence in my life. Not only do we share a passion for creating a cozy home and raising kids, but we also bond over our shared experiences as mothers. I’m beyond excited to contribute to Fresh Mommy and connect with all of you. Whether it’s sharing tips on saving money, fun recipes, or simply offering a perspective on motherhood, I hope my voice resonates with someone out there.

Oh, and PS—I’m secretly hoping that joining Tabitha’s world will magically transform me into a style icon or interior design guru. But hey, a girl can dream, right?
