Alex Sattelmeier
Alexandria (or Alex) Sattelmeier is a 30-something stay-at-home Mom who thrives off of quality time with her loved ones and dance parties. She was born and raised in the Sun City. She's been married to her best friend and husband Caleb since 2012. They have two living children born in 2017 and 2019. Their road to parenthood was not an easy one (loss, failed adoption, and infertility), but boy was it worth it! When she's not wiping boogers or pouring candles, Alex enjoys gardening, reading (The Lord of the Rings is her favorite book series), or walking around her neighborhood.
