Welcome! Finding this site should be like moving in next door to a neighbor whose children are the same age as yours and who knows the “inside scoop” on everything. The best part, we never come over uninvited! Enjoy and please contact us if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to make the site better, or if you have questions about all the ways your business can benefit from being involved with Rocket City Mom!
Below you can read more about the main team that works to make Rocket City Mom helpful to area families in Huntsville and North Alabama.
Lindsey Barron, Chief Operation Officer
I’m Lindsey Barron, foster and adoptive parent, and mom to the Barron Bunch, party of 7!
Growing up in the Madison County area, I have spent decades in the community serving others through multiple non-profit organizations. Rocket City Mom has given me the opportunity to serve the families of our community through providing valuable resources and connections. As a parent of many, I value a good deal, a chance to learn something new, and anything that allows my family to enjoy the moment.
Rebecca Hitt, Managing Editor
I’m Rebecca Hitt—Managing Editor at Rocket City Mom, mom of one, and co-navigator of parent life with my husband, David, and our border collie, Joel.
At Rocket City Mom, I oversee the website and run our social media, making sure local parents stay in the know about all the awesome things happening in the Tennessee Valley. From planning content to crafting posts, I love connecting families with fun, affordable events and helpful resources.
I’m also a big fan of history and museums, space exploration and rockets, storytelling and books, arts and crafts, and wandering wherever curiosity leads. If I can share those passions with others and help them explore something new, I count that as a win.
Jennifer Breuer, Founder
A newcomer to Huntsville, Jennifer started this site in late 2010. She and her husband didn’t know anyone in town and had an 18-month-old daughter who needed to be entertained. She found herself constantly looking for all kinds of information online. Where’s the best place to buy organic baby food? How do I find a pediatrician? How do I find a playgroup for my child (and me)?
After several months of not finding exactly what she was looking for she decided to create it herself. Her goal in building this site was to create a space that parents like herself would want to visit regularly and hopefully find useful. A place where parents could share useful ideas and knowledge about Huntsville and about parenting.
Stephenie Walker, Editor Emeritus
I’m Stephenie Walker, a Huntsville/Madison County native and mom to two rambunctious boys.
My addiction to community volunteering and my past as a youth services librarian has allowed me to meet and work with tons of great people and places that provide services to local families. Through Rocket City Mom I can do the things I loved most about being a librarian – connecting people with resources they need – with the things I love to do – write, read, research, and spend time with my family. (Throw in some gardening and cooking and I’m happy as a clam.)
Here at RCM we hope to make you laugh, make you think, and make it easy for you to enjoy living in our amazing community. There is always something going on, and we do all the work finding out about it so you don’t have to!
