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.

March for Babies!
We received an award from March of Dimes today for being a $4,000 + in fundraising dollars. We raised $4,420.00 which is so awesome. Second place out of all the Stroller Strides franchises in America. We are hoping to raise more money this year with our goal being $5200, and come in first for SS across the country. I am so proud of the money we raised for such a great cause.
Organ Donor Dash
A group of us participated in the Organ Donor Dash this weekend and I have to say how proud I am of all ours Moms.
Sylvia and her son Bradley came in first for female and male walkers.
Accepting his trophy
Jenn pushed the double, Tanya, Claudia and I pushed the single, and Laura and Sarah ran solo (lucky). I am so proud of how well everyone did. I have to brag on Claudia who said she was not a runner and only signed up to do the walk. I was running the back half of the race and who do I see running her heart out???Claudia...and who ran the ENTIRE 5K when she said she was going to walk the 2K?? Claudia!!! I was so impressed with her drive and I have know told her there is no excuse as to why she can not run Beach to Bay with us (she told me the day before that she didn't think she could). I am so proud of all my Moms who came out to race for a great cause. Good job ladies!!! Job well done

January Mom of the Month
Our January Mom of the Month is:
Kristen Gonzalez
Kristen Gonzalez has been a member of Stroller Strides since November 2009. She is an outstanding Mom, always has a smile on her face and is a ton of fun to be around. On top of being a full time Mom, she works weekends as a NICU nurse. Kristen has made awesome strides in fitness since starting SS. She was on one of our Beach to Bay teams (showing up for almost all our practice runs), and has toned all her muscles working out as hard as she does in class everyday. Her running has improved greatly and I can't wait to see her run this year's Beach to Bay as well. Kristen has an awesome personality and is always willing to hang to the back and welcome that new Mom on her first day of class. Alaina is such a great little kiddo, she's used to coming to class everyday and loves playing when class is all done. Alaina has crazy dance moves and will break it down with me after class on a regular basis.
Congrats to Kristen for being this month's Mom of the Month. I am so glad you're a member of Stroller Strides of Corpus Christi!

December Mom of the Month!
Meet Sylvia Salyer our December Mom of the Month!
Sylvia is a new member, joining the ranks of Stroller Strides on October 28th! Since that time she has has hardly missed a class. This might not seem like a big deal to some but I tend to think this is pretty impressive. In the month of November Sylvia attended 18 out of 21 classes that were offered. She's a full time stay at home Mom, to three kiddos, Bianca, Bradley and Bill (pictured) and does it all solo, as her husband is off serving the Country in Cuba. I'd say being a single parent and coming to Stroller Strides that consistently has earned Sylvia the role of December Mom of the Month. Sylvia is doing a GREAT job at working out everyday and has really been giving it her "A" game since she has started.

Amazing Race!!!
Today was our Amazing Race challenge day. Last week I set everyone up on teams and asked that they really give it their all and come up with team themes and decorate their strollers. I am SOOO impressed with my hard working Stroller Strides Mamas. I was really blown away by all your creativity and how well this whole thing work. SO amazing. You ladies and Moms are awesome and proved today how much fun class can be. Great Job Ladies...here's to more fun challenges in the future!!
We'll Gobble You Up, came in as our winner for decorating. I asked the total stranger to pick the winning team for stroller decoration and she said that since it was November their theme was most accurate. She mentioned that the Camo Cuties were 2nd since it's hunting season, and also Team USA since yesterday was Veteran's Day.
You all did SUCH an amazing job and I am SOOOOO blown away by the decorations and total enthusiasm for today's race. This is for sure going to be done in the future. Great Job ladies. You also completed a REALLY HARD WOKOUT....

November Mom of the Month
Our November Mom of the Month is Susanne Laws!!!
Susuanne (pictured above with daughter Frannie, and when she was pregnant with Frannie) has been attending Stroller Strides since 2007. She is our longest attending member to date and we are so glad that she's stuck with Stroller Strides for so long. Her son Riley was born in February 2007 and she joined when he was just 6 weeks old. Since then she has been a regular attendee and welcomed daughter Frannie in 2009. She worked out the entire time she was pregnant and was back as soon as the Dr. cleared her. Even though her oldest is in school, she still attends regularly with Frannie. Susanne has had a really fit year! She has been running more on her own the days she can not come to class, and this year she joined the ranks on our Beach to Bay team. She's funny, smart and always makes us laugh. Here's to many more workouts Susanne...you ROCK!
