Mom’s Night Out at Tipsy Canvas

Tuesday night we had a BLAST at Tipsy Canvas. You go to paint a picture and you can drink while you’re there. I would say most Moms would be in for a fun night out like this. It was so much fun, hilarity ensued,  and we’ll be doing this again for sure.

Family Day 2011

Once a year we invite the Dads to class so they can see what Stroller Strides is really about. Most of them leave realizing we don’t just come to socialize, that hard work is actually involved. It makes me smile a little devilish smile when the Dads are bent over holding their knees gasping for air, while the Moms sip their water because they work that we’re doing is normal for them. Fit Moms ROCK!

March Mom of the Month

Ali Schmidt is our Mom of the Month. Ali is mom to Greyson, one of the happiest babies I know. Ali is also expecting her second baby boy in June.

023

Ali has been attending Stroller Strides for just about a year. She joined when Greyson was just 6 weeks old and has been coming since. I still remember the first day she came to class. She has been working out throughout her pregnancy and she looks amazing. Ali and her husband are both members of the Coast Guard, Ali is a reservist, Brian is active.

Last month while attending class at the Mall, a man began having what was most likely a seizure. After falling down and hitting his head, Ali, being a certified EMT, sprang into action, helping the man and staying with him until EMS arrived. She was awesome!

Congrats Ali on being Mom of the month!

We have been having a blast enjoying all the gorgeous springtime weather Corpus has to offer this time of year. The weather is prefect and the breeze is just enough to cool you off if the weather gets too hot. This is my favorite time of year for Stroller Strides, that time of year where you can sit around after class and let the kids play for hours because it’s just so wonderful to be outside. Before we know it the weather will be too hot to handle and we’ll be dripping sweat from our knee caps. I hope you all enjoy this time of year as much as I do.

I took some pictures of the baby boys in our group, mostly because they were all calm and sitting nicely in their strollers. The older kids were running a muck and learning how to roll down hills.

Mom’s Night Out-February

We had a blast at our Mom’s Night Out in February. Susanne Laws set up a shopping night at The Market and it was a really nice event. We had fun trying on clothes and buying jewelry.
