Erin Lawrence
Who are the members of your family?
I have a wonderful husband Greg whom I met on a cruise and married four years ago, a son is James (3) and son is Jackson (1)
What was/is your previous and/or current career?
I worked for Washington Mutual Bank for about nine years. Throughout my nine years at the bank I did many things including processing home loans, project management for mergers and acquisitions, and writing lending policies. I was fortunate and traveled a lot. I really enjoyed my job and was able to see many places I thought I might not have a chance to see for many years.
Why did you decide to be a stay at home mom?
Although I loved my job, I have always wanted to stay home with my children if I had the opportunity. Fortunately my husband is able to make it happen for us and I am forever thankful.

What does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood means so many things to me, but most of all it means loving, nurturing and guiding my children for a healthy, happy and meaningful life.

How long have you been a Stroller Strides member and what has Stroller Strides done for you?
I believe I joined in April 2008. I have lost over fifteen pounds and I truly enjoy living a healthier more active life. What I enjoy most is how quickly the hour goes by (especially since I like to talk to the other moms so much) and what a fantastic work out I get.

What are three of your favorite things (besides your husband and kids!)?
Camping, traveling and spending time with friends and family

Tell us something about you that would surprise us.
I left home when I was 16 (a sophomore in high school) and had to take care of myself. Even though it was very difficult and stressful, I learned a lot and was much better off. I have much more appreciation for the things many people take for granted. But most of all I have a lot of faith in myself and know I can handle much more than I ever knew I could.

If we asked your husband what he thought your best qualities are, what would he say for personality? physically?
Well, I asked him and he said it's supposed to be what I think so I am not sure if I am right... I think he would say he loves that I am adventurous and always look forward to trying something new and physically I would say he loves my shrinking butt. I only hope it continues to shrink (go stroller strides).
