Charlotte Mothers of Multiples Leadership

Amanda Bailey

Amanda became a member of CMOMS in 2015 while pregnant with her twin girls. She has been District 3 co-leader, NEST leader, and now President.

Amanda grew up in Connecticut, attended the University of Richmond, and works for Liberty Mutual Insurance as a marketing communication program manager.

 “The support, camaraderie, and understanding I’ve found with this group are invaluable to me. The experiences of my fellow CMOMS have prepared me well at every stage of my journey with twins.”

Addie Werner

Adrianne (Addie) became a member of CMOMs in 2022 shortly after giving birth to fraternal twin girls. This is her first year serving on the executive board of CMOMs. 

While originally from Massachusetts, Addie and her husband have lived in the Charlotte area for four years. Together they have three daughters. 

Before becoming a full time stay at home mom in 2020, Addie was a Special Educator for elementary age children. She received her degree from High Point University in preK-12 education. 

“Becoming a first time mom in 2020 in the height of a global pandemic and then giving birth to our twins shortly after our first daughter was born was an extremely isolating and hard time for me. I am so grateful that CMOMs has given me place to cultivate meaningful friendships and a position to support new and expectant mothers of multiples.” 

Lori Cavallario

Lori joined CMOMS in the summer of 2019 after moving to the Charlotte area.  She has served as the NICU Outreach Leader for Atrium and Novant for the past two years and helped with previous Silent Auctions and Consignment Sales. She was also a member of the twins’ group in northern NJ. 

Lori lives in Waxhaw with her husband, identical twin girls and singleton.  She loves supporting moms with babies in the NICU as her twins were born at 31 weeks and spent a month and a half in the neonatal unit.   

She grew up in NJ and graduated from Ithaca College (NY) and holds a Master’s Degree in education.  Lori has switched careers a few times and has worked in Beauty Public Relations, taught 5^th grade, and was a Family Support Specialist in the NICU.

More recently, Lori started a publishing imprint – “Color ME First” - which has a selection of coloring/activity books to celebrate kids’ milestones. Additionally, thanks to CMOMS, Lori is in the process of starting “The Sweet Three Events” a small party planning business! 

“CMOMS is an amazing organization that supports moms with multiples in every stage of their life. CMOMS has helped my family find a house we love, provided friendships, and supported me in starting my dream business. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this group is and how thankful I am to be a part of CMOMS!”

Katie Rutland

Katie joined CMOMS in 2016 while pregnant with her identical twin boys. She joined the CMOMS Full Board in 2018 as Breastfeeding Co-Chair and also most recently served as the VP of Communications.

Katie grew up in Beaufort, South Carolina and moved to the Charlotte area to attend Winthrop University. After graduating with a broadcasting degree, Katie worked as a TV news producer and in public relations before deciding to stay at home with her firstborn son. That decision proved to be a wise one when the twins made their appearance fewer than two years later.
 

“CMOMS has helped me feel as though I am not so alone in this crazy multiples adventure. I have met so many moms who truly know both the stress and pure joy of having multiples. It’s a wild ride I never thought I would take, but I am so glad I have CMOMS to help me forge the path ahead. I am grateful I now get to be part of the club’s leadership and help other moms of multiples navigate their own journey."
