Hi Everyone,

My name is Ami Almquist and I teach Stroller Strides in NW Houston. I’d like welcome Valerie to the Stroller Strides family and start off by saying “thank you” for putting together this awesome blog site!

I’d like to welcome each and everyone of you to our site. Whether you are a Stroller Strides member or not, OR a Luna Moms Club member or not, you are always welcome to blog with us and share your experiences in motherhood. The goal for this site is to bring all moms together and allow us a happy forum to give “mommy advice” as well as receive it!

I look forward to hearing from many new moms, as well as many friends. Stroller Strides & Luna Moms Club are great outlets to embrace a healthier lifestyle for yourself, your families and your communities.

Blog on Mommies!

In Health,

Ami — mom to Gavin (18 mo.) and expecting #2.

 

A Great Partnership and a Great New Adventure! April 20, 2008

Thank you for visiting the new blog page for Stroller Strides of Houston! Stroller Strides has served as the medium for fun, friendships, and healthier happy moms in Houston since June of 07. Stroller Strides has positively impacted not only the life of Ami (Stroller Strides NW Houston), but also the lives of moms, their babies, and the community!

I had seriously considered starting Stroller Strides in Houston at the end of 06 while I was pregnant with my third child, but chose to stick with my job in the pharmaceutical research world . The working mom thing didn’t last long! I was home less than a month back at work. I was delighted to get an email from Ami announcing the grand opening of a Stroller Strides the following summer. I joined her workout group and after a few months, the idea of becoming a Stroller Strides owner became prevalent. Within weeks Stroller Strides Memorial was a reality! With invaluable help and guidance from Ami and the Stroller Strides corporate team, Stroller Strides Memorial is coming into existence!

Stroller Strides is an amazing company and so much more than a mom’s workout group! Motherhood is a blessing and a joy and also tough! Balancing mommy life with everything else is something that I am confident most struggle with. Stroller Strides offers not only a great workout, but also a support group for moms, a playdate for the little ones, and a helping hand for those in need. Ami and I are honored and excited to be a part of this adventure called Stroller Strides and we hope to see your smiling faces in class!
