What was
your childhood ambition? I
wanted to be a police officer.
What does
motherhood mean to you? This
is such a hard question to answer.
It means so much to me. It
means talking about topics that I thought I would never discuss in public; such
as poop. It means becoming the
crazy obsessed helicopter mom that I swore I would never become. It means becoming a crying mess when thinking
of your little one going off to college even though that event is sixteen years
down the road. We won’t even
discuss pre-school.
What is
the furthest you have been from home? Bora
Bora
What has
Stroller Strides done for you? I
can’t even tell you how thankful I am for stroller strides. I love starting my day with all of you
girls. I have met some amazing
people and made some great friends.
I am so grateful that I start my day off with positive energy and a
sense of accomplishment.
What is
your favorite exercise in Stroller Strides? There
are so many. I love Lauren’s curbside
step-ups. I don’t know the name
of the exercise, but I am usually sore for days. I also love the catch phrase that ends each session, “Don’t
forget your most important stretch; your smile.” It makes me laugh every time.
What other
ways do you enjoy being active outside class? Right now my activities are limited to
sitting on the couch. But when I
am not pregnant I love running and yoga.
What is your proudest
moment? Bringing
William home from the NICU. I
still tear up just thinking about that day.
What is
something that you did that you hope your child does not do? I
really believe that you should live life without any regrets. That being said, here are a few things
I hope my children do not do: 1. Move
across the country to go to school.
UC Irvine is great! 2. Make up a cheer to “Whoomp There It Is”
and share it with the entire school at a pep rally. What was I thinking? 3. Wear
overalls over the age of 5. They were a staple in my wardrobe in
college and law school…so tragic.
What are
three of your favorite things? 1. Morning
Dance party with Will and Joe 2. Football
season 3. Eating
an apple and a twix bar….yum!
Sorry that is my latest craving.
Tell us
something about yourself that would surprise us or makes you unique. Dance
has always been a huge part of my life.
I was always a member of a dance squad even in law school. I was on the Syracuse dance team my
last year of law school while I worked for a federal judge.
If
we asked your spouse what they think your best qualities are, what would they
say? “There
are so many I don’t even know where to begin.” That is what he better say!
