We are so excited to offer you a series of "Real Talks" during the month of March. We want to give you the opportunity to learn from experts and get answers to questions that you (& many of us!!!) have about key issues we face in motherhood.
So check out our scheduled Real Talks, and we'll see you there!
Wondering when you should start baby proofing your home? How to start? Bring your questions to a post-class “Baby Proofing 101” presentation on March 5, following Stroller Strides at Greenridge Gym and on March 6, following Stroller Strides at The Collection in Chevy Chase.
Michelle Kauffman, co-owner of Baby Proofing Montgomery, will be joining us to discuss the ins and outs of how to make your home safer for your little ones.
Baby Proofing Montgomery creates safer homes for infants and toddlers. They offer professional childproofing consultations, home assessments, products, and installations. Their objective is to minimize the risk of injury based on the layout of your home and age of your children. They address issues related to staircases, cabinets, drawers, furniture, doors, windows, electrical components, chemicals, and more. When your babies are crawling and exploring, it's time to give them a call.
Baby Proofing Montgomery services the MD, DC, and NoVA region. To learn more, check out babyproofingmontgomery.com and facebook.com/babyproofingmontgomery.
Believe in Yourself is going to be a special real talk that's designed for the little ones (and fun for moms too)!
Come learn about what an Author is, what an Illustrator is, talk about Imagination, creativity and adventure, and of course, believing in yourself!
We will have a fun author visit after our Stroller Barre class at Clarksburg Premium Outlets with Cathrina Gaba, author of Mary Sue Ellen Samantha McClue, about a little girl with big dreams (AND a former member of FIT4MOMMOCO too!).
Join her on an adventure that reminds us all of life's greatest lesson: Believe in Yourself. The first 10 participants to register for class will even get autographed copies of the book upon arrival! So register for that day's stroller barre now, and get ready for some fun together!
Real Talk Event: Injury Prevention in Running, presented by coach Rachel Miller is an opportunity for running moms to learn steps to avoid running injuries and differentiate between sore and injured. Join us after run club (or come meet us there), for this fun & informative session.
After the talk feel free to stick around for light refreshments, learn about Fleet Feet’s FitID shoe fit process and even find out if you are wearing the right bra.
Hint: Your sports bra should not chafing.
Come get great tips on how to get more sleep! Our Real Talk about sleep solutions will be immediately after our Stroller Strides class in the old Ralph Lauren building at The Collection.
Learn from a sleep consultant for exhausted parents who've tried everything to get their children to sleep. She will show you how to do it, in a way that works with your parenting style, so your whole family sleeps at night.
After our kick-off Strides 360 class on March 31, stick around with us to get some expert nutrition advice and ideas. Ask questions and get answers from an expert!
