Caitlin Stoecker
Caitlin is a mom to a son (born in 2017) and a daughter (born in 2021), and she tries to balance all of the mommy things with taking time for what makes her a human outside of being a wife and mother. Along with spending her days working as a program manager, she enjoys finding unique family experiences in the Fargo-Moorhead area, volunteering, reading, and simply being honest about the realities of motherhood in all its vehement glory.
