Motivational Mom of the Month - Sarah Graham

Megan Ford

Summer is in full swing and we have been dodging all the rain but having all the fun! We've had field trips to pick blueberries, splash pad fun, great workouts and of course...our awesome mamas!

Join us in getting to know one of those awesome moms, Sarah Graham!

How did you find FIT4MOM Richmond and how long have you been a part of our village?

Google, I was looking for a mom workout group.

What do you love most about being part of this community?

I Love being around other moms and being able to see different stages of baby. It’s great being in such a positive atmosphere and being able to get and give advice.

Who are you a mom to?

Preston Baugh -6 months old

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?

I love seeing him grow and discover new things. He trusts and loves me unconditionally and it fills my heart up with so much joy.

What two items would you take with you if you were shipwrecked on a deserted island where all your food and water needs were taken care of?

Shoes and hairbrush. Lol

If you had a time machine, would you travel to the future or back to the past?

Probably the past but not too far maybe the early 2000’s . Then I’ll bet on some football that I already know the outcome.

How do you practice self-care?

Giving myself some me-time to unwind at night after I get Preston to bed. I love watching HGTV

Where did you grow up and how did you end up in Richmond?

I was born in Norfolk. I moved to Richmond when I was 15 after my father retired from the navy.

How did becoming a mother change you?

Being a Mother has made me put Preston’s and the needs of the family before my own.

What is the last great book or television series you've read/watched?

The Color of Law

How did you meet your partner?

Match.com 10 years ago. We started as friends then dated. Can’t ask for better partner and friend.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Teacher

If you could choose one song to play every time you walked into a room for the rest of your life, what song would you choose and why?

Girl on Fire, Alicia Keys, it’s a vibe.

If your five-year-old self suddenly found themselves inhabiting your current body, what would they do first?

I think I would cry. Lol but then I would be hyped that I didn’t have a bedtime.

Sarah, I agree that Girl on Fire is a whole vibe and one I can definitely get down with! I also love your immediate reaction to your five-year old self waking up in your current body! I think that would be a terrifying thing!

Thank you for sharing more about yourself. We're so glad Google led you to us.
