January Mom of the Month - Lisa Tran!

This month we recognize LISA TRAN for her accomplishment and dedication to fitness, motherhood and life! 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 Allen; myself; my daughter Alison (2 1/2 yo); my son Brandon (9 mo).

2. What is or was your career?
Health care

3. How long have you been a member of Stroller Strides and what has it done for you?
I first did Stroller Strides at the end of my first maternity leave in September 2009. Because of my work schedule, I couldn't attend regularly again until the evening and Saturday classes started approx July 2010!!!

4. What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?
That my weekends and free time are now totally structured around playtimes and naptimes!!!!

That I could be filled with an amazing sense of complete love when I see my children laugh, smile, and/or sleep!

5. Favorite website(s)?
Facebook, thecrockingirls.com, and any website that offers a good discount on baby/kids stuff.

6. List three current obsessions.
Crockpot recipes; hats for my kids; leg warmers for my kids! My daughter doesn't have much hair, so I have to accessorize somehow!!!

7. What is your child's favorite thing about you or favorite thing that you do?
Alison frequently asks me to sing - Lately her most frequent requests have been "Jingle Bells" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

8. Any tips for other moms out there?
Ha ha! This is a funny question to me, as I always feel like I'm constantly struggling!!! Just remember to take care of yourself, otherwise it's harder to take care of your family. This includes eating right, exercise, sleep, etc. However, this is easier said than done!.
