Beth Wilkin-Waldmann
I’m a former TV news producer turned stay-at-home mom to my active kids. When we're not at a horse barn, we're probably at an ice hockey rink! I began writing for Knoxville Moms shortly after I began my motherhood journey 11-years ago. I've grown so much as a mom and writer during that time. While I'm older and my children are older, what's not old is my desire to connect moms with community resources and each other. Please join me on this exciting journey we call motherhood!
