She is a mom to a toddler boy, age 2, and bonus mom to 2 girls, ages 8 and 13. Her socials focus on budget-friendly toddler activities, with a dose of other mom/homemaker/WFH lifestyle content.
Gugu Guru: Tell us your favorite thing to do when you’re not creating content.
Elise Hintorn: When I’m not creating content, I love spending time with my family (outdoors when it’s not 100+ degree is even better). If we can travel together, that’s also a bonus.
