Meet Laura Rowell! (Laura Morgan on FB)
Q: What town/city do you live in?
A: Hobart
Q: How many kids do you have?
A: 3 sons
Q: What are their ages?
A: 7, 4 & 2
Q: Do you work outside the home? If so, where & what do you do?
A: Yes. I teach nutrition sciences courses at UWGB and group fitness classes at Xperience Fitness in Green Bay.
Q: What is your favorite at-home activity to do with your kids?
A: Making homemade baked goodies: brownies, cookies and cakes! 🙂 (Yep, in an RD’s home!)
Q: Where is your favorite place around Green Bay to take your kids?
A: Bay Beach and De Pere VFW pool.
Q: If you had one parenting tip to share that has worked for you/helped you, what would it be?
A: Read to your kids every night before bed and rub their feet! It is a great way to relax them and give them emotional and physical love before bed!
Q: What do you like to do when you have time for yourself?
A: Are you kidding? As a working mom of three, I don’t have time for myself! But if I do, and I have a remote to myself, I will fold laundry to Chopped or House Hunters on Netflix.
Q: Are you a night owl or an early bird (despite what you have to be as a mom)?
A: Early bird! I get in about 2 hours before the kids wake. Normally it is my work or exercise time, and it is just great to have a quiet home for a little bit!
Q: Share a funny quote from one of your kids.
A: Our 2-year-old, after saying the standard night prayer, always says “Amen pork-en-shnops!”
Q: What is something not many people know about you?
A: Shhh…it was a secret. I educate people on what is healthy to go inside their bodies as a Registered Dietitian and now, about what goes on the outside, too! I get to share “total wellness on a budget” as a marketer for an online wellness wholesaler called Melaleuca. They bring Whole Foods-quality, non-toxic, GMO-free products right to the doors of busy Moms and Dads at low (aka Target) prices!
(Stay tuned later this week for a blog post with more info about Melaleuca!)
Thanks for sharing with us, Laura! Please check back next week to meet another area mom.
