Mom of the Month, Riverside - Kim Bennett


KIM AND CALEB AT CASTLEVIEW PARK

Who are the members of your family?
Hubby: John
Son: Caleb
Me: Kim

What was/is your previous and/or current career?
I used to work for Cardinal Health as an Inventory Analyst. My main job function was to maintain the proper inventory levels of hospital supplies/medical equipment for hospitals in the Salt Lake City, UT and Fife, WA areas.
My current career is Stay-at-Home-Mommy to 6 month old Caleb! It's the best job I've ever had!

Why did you decide to be a stay at home mom?
I don't want to miss out on a minute of my baby's life! He is growing up so fast and I know I will never get this time again. I am so blessed to be able to witness everything first-hand. All of the financial sacrifices are totally worth it!

What does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood means doing the best I can every day for my family. It's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

How long have you been a Stroller Strides member and
what has Stroller Strides done for you?
I joined SS in May of this year when my son was 8 weeks old. It has given me my old body back -- only now I'm much stronger and I have a lot more energy! And I know I'll need that extra energy to chase after Caleb in a few months! In addition to the physical benefits, SS has allowed me the opportunity to meet other moms and their kids and develop friendships along the way.

What are three of your favorite things (besides your husband and kids!)?
1. Chocolate!, 2. Hanging out with friends and family, 3. Traveling to new places

Tell us something about you that would surprise us.
I grew up on an island named Kwajalein. It was 3 miles long and half a mile wide! I lived there until I was 10 years old.

If we asked your husband what he thought your best qualities are, what would he say for personality? physically?
Personality: I just asked him and he says I'm loving and caring and fun. Good answers. :)
Physically: My bootie (which is much smaller since I've started SS), eyes, smile and laugh.

Congrats to Kim! Kim has made HUGE strides in fitness since her first day at Stroller Strides. She is now leading the pack and motivating other moms to make the most of their workouts. I am so fortunate and happy to have Kim & Caleb as part of our Riverside group. Plus she looks amazing. Caleb has one hot mamma.
