Jessica Kilbane
Jess is a fitness-loving, coffee-chugging, free spirit who hails from the great state of Ohio. She isn’t sure what “free time” is, but if you ever find some, she’ll probably find a way to fill it. She’s wife to Kyle and mama to McKenna (4) and Owen (2). Her favorite ways to multitask include: training strong moms at FIT4MOM Austin, juggling social media management and teaching special ed, running, reading the first half of parenting books, and drinking lots and lots of red wine. You can find her over at her blog, Playdates and Prosecco, or on Instagram.
