Featured on our cover this month is Alexia Cargal, this year’s EAST COBBER Mother of the Year, with her son, James, 2 1/2. “I am so flattered and touched that I was nominated,” says Alexia. Juggling her full-time job as a director of social media and managing the special medical needs of her son who has Cystic Fibrosis is “a challenge” says Alexia, but she credits her network of support— especially, her husband, Derrick. Alexia is eagerly expecting another baby in early May.
