Elizabeth Fritz
Hello, friends. I'm California grown but currently reside in the Dayton, Ohio area. I am a full time wife, mother, and type one diabetic. I spend my time caring for my little family and trying to live my best life. I'm married to an amazing man and we have two beautiful kiddos; Addie (b. Nov 2007) and Russ (b. Nov 2014). Together they make up my whole heart. Between juggling our busy schedules, and trying to get healthy, I also advocate fiercely for the JDRF. My passions include; reading, writing, traveling, learning new recipes, and making memories with my family. I look forward to sharing my crazy, hectic, mom life with you all.
