Adopt-A-Family

I feel very good about today - all of us from Stroller Strides bought diapers and clothes and toys to donate to a family in need for Christmas. Today we got together to wrap the gifts and share some holiday spirit. It was a very good time and we all felt good about all the gifts we donated. I can't wait until DD is old enough to learn about giving to others and the spirit of Christmas.

A very good day...

Happy Friday. We had a new mom at class today, one I met a Baby Fest last Saturday. It was nice to have a new face in addition to all of the beautiful faces we see all the time! She enjoyed the class and is going to sign up to join us - woo hoo. We also have a site on meetup.com now. Hopefully that will attract new people and let them know about Stroller Strides. The weather was crazy today, first sunny, then snowing, then sunny, then snowing. Winter is coming :-( And big news from a close friend, she's three months pregnant with her second baby and she was pretty much told she couldn't have any more - what an awesome surprise!!! Life can be good!!

Federal Holiday

Four of us showed up yesterday to have our Monday morning workout and the Center was closed - Veteran's Day. Apparently the Center is closed for all Federal Holidays - no mail = no class. Who knew? I feel bad for the moms that came out and wasted your time, I wish I had known last week. Well, now we know. I already checked for 2008 and it looks like we might only have to cancel classes two times, once in Jan and once in Feb. When the center is closed in May, July, Sept, and Oct we should be able to have our workout outside, if the weather cooperates. Luckily, Thanksgiving and Christmas are on a Thurs and Tues this year, and a Thurs, Thurs next year (thank you leap year for skipping over Wednesday!). Maybe by then we will have class 5 days a week and then cancelling one day won't be so bad.

On a happier note, Baby Fest went well and hopefully we'll see 4-5 new moms come check out our class.

Snow!

I'm getting ready to go to Baby Fest, and I'm excited. I hope to meet lots of moms and tell them all about Stroller Strides.

It's snowing! It has been all morning and it's coming down pretty good. The snow isn't sticking to the ground or the driveway, but the deck and the roofs are covered. My DD wants to go out and play! We can't today, but we will soon. I hope she's not disappointed when she finds out that snow is cold and wet!

Baby Fest

Great class today, we burned mega calories with our jump rope/squat thrust combo move. And, we tried some new ab work with the bands - very effective.

Don't forget to stop by Baby Fest at Babies R Us tomorrow and see all the fun ideas for Baby's First Holiday. It's from 11-3 in Wilkes-Barre.

Welcome to our Blog!

Thanks for visiting the new blog for Stroller Strides of Scranton, PA. Stroller Strides is such a fabulous program... you come to class, meet other great moms, work out, get fit (maybe even more fit than you were before you got pregnant), bond with your baby, teach your children about healthy living right from the start, exchange ideas, make friends, participate in community service events, the list goes on an on. Every class is different and fun, and a serious workout. I wish this was in the area when my 3-yr-old was first born. Better late than never!
