Labor Day

When I was a little kid Labor Day was just another chance to get out of school. As I grew up, I learned more about what Labor Day was all about. But as I have become a mom and grown with my children I realize that all moms should be celebrated on Labor Day as well. Don't get me wrong, I am not wanting to take away from the significance of the holiday, just would like to add all of you moms out there to the equation. We has women work so hard to keep everything together. Work, family, friends, school, errands, house...you name it, you have probably done it.
We do so much for everyone and rarely take the time for ourselves and if we do we feel guilty. Why is that? Why are some of the hardest working people out there not comfortable taking care of themselves every once in a while? Strange that it has been that way!
Well, I am glad that I have StrollerFit and that I can spend quality time with my kiddos while I get in some much needed exercise. I have had those mornings where nothing is going right but by the time I am at class, teach and get back home, I feel refreshed and ready to charge the rest of the day. Sometimes it isn't even the workout, just being around my moms is enough. So many of them have such a great personality that just listening to them talk about their problems, kids or just a story about a night out, make me laugh and forget about my morning.
If it wasn't for StrollerFit, I probably would never have gotten to know each of them. It has been a blessing in disguise. These hard working moms are sometimes the life preserver I need.

So as you spend time with your families this holiday weekend take a second to think about your own mom, your friend, co-worker or sister and if you get a chance, give her a hug, let her know that she is appreciated and thank her for working so hard at keeping it all together. We has moms need to support each other, stick together and be there for each other. And remember all that work pays off but don't lose yourself while working! You are all very important!!
HAPPY LABOR DAY!!
