Beth is the Managing Editor at Body+Mind. She is passionate about writing about parenting, nutrition, mental health and fitness. In her spare time, Beth enjoys going for runs with her dog and trying out new recipes.

I am first and foremost a woman who is passionate about loving on people where they are. I am also a mother of 2 toddlers who also tries to teach her kiddos about love for others! I currently stay at home but enjoy volunteering as much as possible. I am kept busy every day with all of our pets and my littles running around nonstop. When I have “down time”, you can find me biking, hiking, or snuggling and watching a good TV show (probably enjoying some chocolate). I love being able to raise my babies at home, but I will also be the first to say that this job isn’t easy!

Hey local mommas! I grew up in Centerville, OH but I now live in Wilmington, OH with my husband Tony. Together we have 6 kids, Joe, and his wife Allison, Austin, and his wife Hannah, Sydney and her husband Hayden, Andrew and his wife Lauren and our littles, Max and Eli. Did I mention we are a little nuts starting over with this parenting thing when we are 45+? We are officially adding new titles to our names in 2022- Tiki and Jeep (our version of Grandma and Grandpa). My husband and I are both ministers, and we get to work together in a local church. We were both married before and brought our families together in 2010. After a few years of marriage we felt God's leading for us to adopt. We added Max to our family in 2014 and Eli joined us in 2017, our quiver is officially full! Blending our family has been an adventure! Add some ex-spouses and two birth mommas and we have ourselves a crazy crew! Coffee is my love language. The beach is my happy place and I long to have my toes in the sand.

I was born in New York and lived in several states before settling down in the Midwest! I have an interracial family that consists of my amazing and talented husband (Derek) and our beautiful, silly daughter (Adilyn {2009}). I work full-time in human resources in addition to owning the Cincinnati, Dayton, & Louisville Mom Collectives, write and illustrate children's books (search "Courtney Jayne Snow" on Amazon), love to volunteer, and am a registered and certified nutritional consultant (RNC/CNC). I still do my best to be the best mom and wife I can be! I love art museums, the theatre, the zoo, reading, and parks. I'm a foodie and always love trying new places to eat. I spent a lot of time in Louisville since my teens and absolutely love the city and the people in it! I hope other moms find either enlightenment or humor from my posts!

I am a TN native who graduated from MTSU with a B.S. in Construction Management. I met my husband on eHarmony and decided to relocate to his hometown in Louisville, KY. I was in the construction field for eight years, during which I graduated from ERAU with my Masters in Project Management. I decided to pause my career to focus on my three boys who are now 8, 5, and 4 as well as our two dogs.

Raised in northern Florida, I love to be active and to travel. When I'm not teaching a French lesson or training for a marathon, you can find me running after my rambunctious 3 year old daughter or trying to keep up with my cyclist husband. We love trying new restaurants in Louisville, but are also happy to stay at home to watch all the Indiana Jones movies. Photo Credit :: Courtney Jayne Snow Photography

As a restaurant owner and foster mom, taking care of others through food is my passion. My foster son is nearing two years old, and he has been the source of inspiration for my kid-friendly, plant-based recipes since starting solid foods. I focus on family meals that he can enjoy, especially foods that I feel good about him eating—i.e., minimally processed and not too heavy on the salt or sugar. In addition to parenting, after winning Food Network’s culinary competition Cutthroat Kitchen in 2014, I launched a food truck—V-Grits (vegan girl raised in the south), and in 2018 the V-Grits restaurant was born, specializing in stick-to-your-ribs vegan comfort food.

I am a hot-mess homeschooling mom to three adventure-loving kids. Our family loves exploring Louisville’s beautiful natural areas and parks, as well as selecting large stacks of books from one of the city’s fantastic libraries. I am a big introvert, but if you want to get me talking, bring up my passions of children’s literature or breastfeeding. I could go on for hours! When I get a rare quiet moment to myself, I like to savor it with a cup of locally roasted coffee and either a classic novel or a black and white movie.
