What does motherhood mean to you? It's a dream come true!! I couldn't imagine being anything else!
What has Stroller Strides meant to you? It's been such a great help! Just moving to Yuma and not knowing many people; it's been wonderful getting to know other mommies and getting back into shape while doing it!

I have a love/hate relationship with cardio!

When I found out I was going to be a mom and heard my sweet babies heart beat for the first time!
What are three of your favorite things (besides your family!)? Reading, dancing, shopping.
Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us or makes you unique.
My right wrist bone is naturally broken. I hated it growing up and was extremely self conscious. My husband never noticed it and I loved that about him!
If we asked your spouse what they think your best qualities are, what would they say? I asked him and He said I'm carrying and my sense of humor and that when I'm near him he feels complete and that everything is ok in the world. (I sure do love that man
What advice would you give to moms looking to get back into shape?
It's gonna be tough but don't give up!! You will feel better sticking with it... It will happen!
