Charleston Moms

Jody and her family made the change from big city life in Chicago to the suburbs of Charleston and couldn't be happier! With an undergraduate degree from Elon University, and a Masters in Counseling from DePaul University, Jody's career path took a different turn when given the opportunity to take over ownership of Charleston Moms. This new adventure has left Jody with so much excitement for continuing the great work that CM has already started, and also very little free time as any business owner knows! In between balancing the responsibilities of being a WAHM, Jody enjoys spending time/keeping up with her two young daughters, date nights with her husband Rob, practicing yoga, exploring Charleston, and indulging in some retail therapy.

Kristin was born and raised in Chesapeake, VA. She moved to South Carolina to pursue an education in Public Health at Coastal Carolina University. While attending CCU, she met her husband of 6 years. She worked for the state of South Carolina for seven years as a nutritionist before she had the opportunity to stay at home as a full time mom. In October of 2016, she relocated to Charleston for her husband’s job. They welcomed their son in February 2017. She loves spending time with her family outdoors- camping, bike riding and beach going. Creating delicious, healthy meals and curling up with a good book have always been some of her favorite hobbies.

Tiffany traded in back-to-back business meetings and PowerPoint presentations, for sippy cups and play dates – leaving her corporate job of 15 years to become a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom. To say life is different is an understatement, and she now has a new found love and respect for the “hardest” (and best!) job she’s ever had. A native South Carolinian, Tiffany is best described as kind-hearted and friendly, with a quick sense of humor. When she’s not toting her little to the latest kid-friendly activity, you can find her enjoying a good cup of coffee or catching up on the latest celebrity gossip magazines. She received her Masters Degree in Integrated Communications from the University of South Carolina in 2007, and enjoys reading, writing and traveling (when she finds the time). She lives in Columbia with her husband Rob, and is also the owner and founder of Columbia Mom.

Hello! My name is Karla Ciokiewicz (bonus points if you can pronounce it). I'm a mom of two girls under two and a wife to my awesome husband Lee. My husband and I moved to Charleston from Indiana after we married in 2016 by orders of the United States Air Force. Since we've been in Charleston we bought our first home, welcomed our two beautiful girls into the world, made lots of new friends and are enjoying everything about the area...except the bugs! To say our life has been busy since we said our I Do's would be a huge understatement, but we are loving the crazy family life we're building together. As a mom of two small children free time is hard to come by, but when I'm not busy wiping up messes, noses or bottoms you can find me at the nearest craft store looking for projects to add to my "to be completed" stockpile. 

Originally a native of Maryland, Megan has always day dreamed of living by the beach. After graduating with a degree in Criminal Justice, she worked for the state of Maryland for four years before moving to South Carolina to live out her dream with her husband. She loves being a stay-at-home mom to her son and her two fur babies. On weekends, football usually dominates the household, Go Cocks! When football isn’t on you can find Megan shopping at Target with some pumpkin spice Starbucks in hand, or having play dates with her friends and their children. She enjoys taking advantage of all the local events each week and makes sure not to miss them!
