Congrats to Laura, our March Mom of the Month!

We love having Laura and her son in our stroller classes during the week! She has the best smile and can spark up a conversation about anything! Laura's dedication to getting to stroller class mostly every day is nothing short of amazing! We are so blessed to have you in our village, Laura!
