Katrina Wiggins is our TriangleMom2Mom mom of the week. I first spoke with Katrina Wiggins a few weeks ago when she uploaded an event to the Mom2Mom calendar for a daddy-daughter dance at Marbles in February.

Here's Katrina ...

Mom2Mom: Tell us about yourself.

Katrina: I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I attended Michigan State University, and worked for Ford Motor Company after graduation. Soon after, I met and married my wonderful husband of eleven years, Joel. I have two beautiful daughters, Christina, 6 and Reagan, 5, and a handsome stepson, Joshua, 14. I enjoy reading, listening to music (especially old school 80s & 90s), and eating. I love to entertain, and I have recently discovered that I enjoy event planning. I am currently working with an organization that is planning a Father Daughter Dance, and I have found that I LOVE seeing other people having a great time. (Visit www.dancewithdaddy.com for more info). I have several dreams that involve mentoring young ladies and writing books that I plan on bringing to fruition in the upcoming year.

Mom2Mom: What's your favorite family place in the Triangle?

Katrina: There are so many fun places, but we really enjoy Jellybeans Skate Center.

Mom2Mom: What's your favorite place for yourself in the Triangle?

Katrina: Solas

Mom2Mom: What's your favorite ritual with your kids?

Katrina: After dinner, during the week, the girls and I go in the gym and work out. It may be an exercise video, or we'll make up our own routines to songs from the radio. We have a great time.

Mom2Mom: What did you eat for dinner last night? Can you share the recipe?

Katrina: Last night: corn, macaroni & cheese, dressing with cranberry sauce, cole slaw, and rolls. (I don't eat meat so this may seem a little drab :) For dessert I had a DELICIOUS piece of Honey Bun cake that a girlfriend made...I'm waiting on that recipe myself!

Mom2Mom: What's your guilty pleasure?

Katrina: Curling up on a lounge chair on a beach (or a chair, or a couch, or a bed) with a fruity drink and a good book. I could do it all day for many days :)
