Supermom: Kristie Wheeles
Growing up on the Alabama Gulf Coast has been an unforgettable experience for this Baldwin County native. As a lifelong resident of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Kristie Wheeles has seen her beloved community grow, but still believes it’s an amazing place to raise her family. Now a Real Estate Broker and Karate School Owner, she balances two businesses with motherhood, all while deeply investing in the community she calls home.
She and her husband, Chris, have two daughters, Nevaeh (19) and Kai (13), and two dogs, Romie and Michelle. As a mother, she focuses on creating meaningful memories with her children, establishing special traditions they will always treasure. One of their favorites is waking up to a cupcake on their birthday—two cupcakes when they hit double digits! She also picks out an ornament each year that represents what they love most at that time, often quirky and tacky, but always a fun reflection of their interests.
