Hi, I'm Stacey! I have been a member of Fort Worth Mothers of Multiples for 3 years now, and this will be my second year on the board. I am so excited to be stepping into the President's role. I have found some amazing women through FWMoM and can’t wait to meet you and your family! A little about me is that I am an all BOY momma to three amazing kiddos (6,3,3,). Wife to Ryan, who is my biggest cheerleader in all things life! I love to travel, explore, and have social time together with and without my family!

Linsey Conlogue
Vice President of Socials
Hi, my name is Linsey Conlogue! I joined FWMoM when we moved here from Seattle in the summer of 2021. I knew immediately I needed connection with people going through the same stage of life as me and who understood what having multiples was like. After 5+ years of infertility, through IVF we had our boy/girl twins who just turned 4. I also have a boy singleton who is 1.5 years old. I’ve been married for 13 years to my husband Sean. I couldn’t imagine navigating life with twins without him! I found this group and continue to be a part of it for the purpose of community and because they have fun social events. After being here for 3 years I am so excited to help contribute to the fun in making socials a memorable experience for all! We are going to have some fun mom events this year, you won’t want to miss out!

Jill Cathey
Parliamentarian/

Hi, I’m Jill. I joined FWMoM when I was pregnant with my twins in 2018. My husband, Marcus, and I have a 7 year old son (Jackson), and a 5 year old fraternal twin girls (Madison and Mackenzie). I’m a Labor and Delivery nurse and frequently recommend this group to my patients pregnant with multiples. I didn’t know this tribe of women existed and how much I needed them. These moms of multiples have given me so much life and support. I’m excited to give back by serving on the board this year!

Lauren Risk
Sponsorship & Fundraising
I am Lauren Risk, and I am thrilled to continue collaborating with our sponsors this year. As a long-time member of Fort Worth Mothers of Multiples, I have seen firsthand how our incredible sponsors enable us to support and invest in mothers of multiples and their families. Beyond my volunteer work with FWMoM, I work in Finance and have three children: my oldest is a sophomore at the University of North Texas, and I have 6-year-old twins. The support I receive from FWMoM in raising my children is invaluable and I cherish the opportunities we have to give back to the community together.

Kristy Flaim
Sponsorship & Fundraising
I am Kristy Flaim. I’m SO excited to help raise funds for our amazing non-profit. This will be my third year serving y’all on the board, second year of planning fundraisers so that we can support our moms and projects. My husband Nick and I are Detroit natives and moved here 7 years ago. We have slightly feral 4 year old boy/girl twins and their 2 year old “Baby” brother, who was our BIG surprise miracle baby. We battled with infertility, and had our twins at the beginning of the pandemic. I am confident that I would NOT be the mom I am today if it weren’t for the unity and support I feel being a part of FWMoM. Feel free to connect with me at meetings/playdates/ or anytime you see me!
