Welcome to Winging Motherhood! I’m Misty, a picture-taking, coffee-loving, physician assistant from Buffalo, NY. When I’m not working or chasing my girls, you can find me on the local running trails or getting lost in a good book.

We love to explore our hometown of Buffalo, especially now that we can share it with our girls.
