Our Mom of the Month program honors one of our Stroller Strides moms for her efforts to live a healthy lifestyle while letting us get to know her better at the same time. Our May Mom of the Month is Krista Welty (aka Caiden's mom).
The Welty Family
Krista is a faithful attender at our Shelley Lake class location, serves as one of our hard-working (volunteer!) Playgroup Captains and is a great role model for healthy living for Caiden! A former science teacher, Krista even provides the occasional impromptu science lesson during class and we all learn a little something new about the beautiful world around us. Thanks for all you do to help make our classes and playgroups so special, Krista!
We asked Krista a few questions to get to know her better and this is what she said:
Hometown : Long Beach, CA
Education: BS in Biology
Stroller Strides Member since: July 2010
Members of your Family: Chris, Caiden and me
Current/previous Career: High School Biology Teacher
What was your childhood ambition? I wanted to be a veterinarian.
What does motherhood mean to you? Not sweating the small stuff, enjoying your kids, making sacrifices.
What is the furthest you have been from home? Mykonos, Greek Isles
What has Stroller Strides done for you? Made exercise fun!
What is your favorite exercise? Abs.
What is your proudest moment? Graduating from college.
What are three of your favorite things (besides your family!)? Books, ice cream, afternoon naps
Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us or makes you unique. I can swim 50 feet underwater on a single breath... Well, I used to but haven't tried it in a long time.
If we asked your spouse what they think your best qualities are, what would they say? Smart & caring.
