Ling Family

Texas Bred…

My name is Kelly Ling and I am a Texas girl, born and bred. I was born on the airforce base in Del Rio, grew up in the DFW area, went to school at The University of Texas at Austin (Hook ’em!) and have lived all over central Texas.  In fact, I tried to venture out of Texas and I lived in San Diego for a month and headed back to Texas as quickly as I could.  We all make mistakes!

My loves…

In 2005, still in college, I met my husband, Nick, in one of the most romantic locations in all of Austin…a bar! He asked me if he could buy me a shot and the rest is history.  In all seriousness, he is my soul mate.  He treats me like a queen and we share the same sarcastic sense of humor. I graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in education and planned on teaching and getting engaged the summer of 2007.  I have never been one to follow the normal path, and that summer we found out we were expecting our first baby, a girl, Parker.  We decided to marry that summer in San Antonio and our daughter was born on Christmas Eve of 2007.

Oh, This Girl…

Parker is the head of the household, at 6 years old, she rules the roost. She is independent, slightly bossy, smart, artistic, and full of ideas.  Her partner in crime, Nicholas, is four years old and is just like his daddy.  He is confident, kind, tender hearted, and absolutely hilarious.  He loves sports and already bleeds orange.  We just recently added to our pack of duckLINGs, Mr. Hamilton Asher Ling was born this September and he is the perfect addition to our family.  He mostly eats, sleeps, poops, and cries, so I would love to say he is going to be the valedictorian of his class, but we haven’t quite figured out his full potential.

SAHM and WAHM

During the week, I work from home as an Independent Team Beachbody coach. I have always had a passion for health and fitness and now I have turned it into a business that allows me to be available for my kids and help others reach their fitness goals.  I work with customers of all ages and types, but I find a real joy in helping moms gain back their confidence through exercise.  If you need guidance when it comes to your nutrition or exercise routine, you can find me on facebook at www.fb.com/kellylinghealthcrazed.

Social Media Nut…

In my free time, I am a social media addict and often times get caught up on social media for hours at a time, hello pinterest?! I am a typical girl in many ways…. I love a warm cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night, I love fashion and shopping, and I’m always trying out new recipes on my family and friends.  I love to be creative and I have a hard time sitting still for too long, but more than anything I just love spending time with my family; watching football, attending the kids’ soccer games, and trying out new restaurants.KellyLingBio1
