Today’s I am a Twin Cities Family feature is all about Brandi Lokkesmoe!
“I am full-time working mom of 3 amazing kids, wife of 14 years to my husband Kyle, middle child, and loyal friend! I love to be involved in my children’s activities. We welcomed a puppy last summer, he is my walking buddy and co-worker while I’ve been working from home since 2020.”
What do you love about calling the Twin Cities home?
I grew up in a smaller community in North Dakota and a few years after having kids I actually tried to convince my husband to move back because I didn’t feel like we were “part of the community.” A mom friend invited me to join a women’s group at church and I instantly met new friends. Fast forward five or six years, my kiddos are involved in sports and school activities and we have met so many amazing families. Minnesota is definitely home now and I can’t imagine living anywhere else!
If we peeked in your purse right now, what would we find?
How do you prioritize friendships and connections with other women?
As my children have grown and become more involved in sports and activities I have formed new friendships with moms. We walk during practice and chat about anything and everything.
Being a mom is no easy task. How do you relax and take care of you?
