This month we recognize LISA ESTRADA for her accomplishment and dedication to fitness, motherhood and life! Lisa is one of our fabulous Playgroup Captains who organizes all the fun crafts, field trips and activities our little ones participate in as part of Stroller Strides. Our Brea, Fullerton, Placentia and Yorba Linda Stroller Strides Team would like to say THANK YOU LISA for being part of our Stroller Strides family!
1. Who are the members of your family?
My husband, Tom, and I have a 2 1/2 year old son named Ethan. We also have a tabby cat named Bentley.
2. What is or was your career?
Prior to landing my dream job of stay-at-home mom, I taught kindergarten and fifth grade for the Anaheim City School District. I quit my job about a year ago to stay home with Ethan and it was the best decision we ever made!
3. How long have you been a member of Stroller Strides and what has it done for you?
I originally joined Stroller Strides when Ethan was about 8 weeks old. After I went back to work, Stroller Strides provided me with the opportunity to continue as a member and attend class during my vacations and sick days. Between attending Stroller Strides classes and participating in the LEAN program, I was able to lose 11 pounds in the last year! Aside from helping me achieve my weight-loss goals, Stroller Strides introduced me to many amazing moms and wonderful friends! Additionally, I have truly enjoyed my role as playgroup coordinator for Placentia/Yorba Linda...it appeals to the teacher in me! Participating in Stroller Strides has been a life-changing experience for Ethan and me and I recommend the program to every Mom I meet!
4. What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?
As a first time Mommy, everything has been new and interesting! I am amazed at how quickly time goes after you have kids. I can't believe that Ethan is already 2 1/2!
5. Favorite website(s)?
Facebook, HGTV.com, KraftFoods.com
6. List three current obsessions.
Coffee, working out/running, and reading
7. What is your child's favorite thing about you or favorite thing that you do?
Ethan loves to be outside with me, so we spend much of our time in the backyard playing trucks, firefighters, and pirates. This summer he has discovered a love for swimming and we spend many afternoons in the pool. We also enjoy our weekly trips to Disneyland.
8. Any tips for other moms out there?
Whenever possible, I prep dinner during nap time. I also take a Saturday or Sunday at the beginning of the month to make and freeze as many meals as I can. It makes for less to do during that 4-7pm witching hour that all kids seem to have.
