This month we recognize SHANNON BLANPIED 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 SHANNON for being part of our Stroller Strides family!
1. Who are the members of your family?
The members of my family are- My Husband Shawn, Teagan (4), Ashlyn (3), Cain (7 months) & myself.
2. What is or was your career?
Before having Children I was a full time student as well as a Nanny. I am now a stay at home mom.
3. How long have you been a member of Stroller Strides and what has it done for you?
I started Stroller Strides in June of 2007, when Teagan was 6 months old. I can't believe that I have been a member for almost 4 years! Stroller Strides has helped me lose the baby weight from my pregnancies, as well as stay in shape. Most importantly to me, it has been a way to meet wonderful women who enjoy doing the same activities as myself.
4. What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?
Many things still surprise me about motherhood...getting through the day with hardly any sleep, getting thrown up/pooped on and being ok with it, but the one that stands out most is the fact that you are responsible for someone else's life.
5. Favorite website(s)?
I LOVE the internet, so I have a lot of favorite websites but I would have to say the top ones are: Karaspartyideas.com- tons of cute birthday party ideas, Daytrippingmom.com- this lady has categorized by city, fun day trips to do with your kids, Nordstroms.com Forever21.com & Etsy.com - for shopping.
6. List three current obsessions.
My three current obsessions are - decorating the house, taking my kids to experience fun new things & online shopping.
7. What is your child's favorite thing about you or favorite thing that you do?
I would think my children love that I cuddle them to sleep most nights & that I am up for anything...we do a lot of spur of the moment daytrips.
8. Any tips for other moms out there?
Your kids are only little once, try to make as many memories as you can for them. My parents did this for me & I want to make sure my kids have the fun memories as well. I remember reading somewhere ( maybe it was in a Stroller Strides newsletter, not quite sure) You will never regret the things you did with your children, you will only regret the things you didn't do.
