Beth (right) celebrates with friends and admirers.

Over 2,000 votes were cast for the amazing Richmond women nominated in our 2012 Supermom Contest, and  Beth Trebour was the mom who swept this contest and had a grand celebration at the Wine Loft Richmond on May 9th, 2012.

Beth and twenty of her friends gathered with myself, the folks and docs from Stony Point Surgery Center &  CJStuf.org to celebrate Beth’s accomplishments and

Beth, center, kept saying "I don't deserve this!" but her friends beg to differ.

admirers.

The swag was amazing–over $3,000 in prizes from our incredible sponsors.

Rachel Reynolds of CJStuf.org shared where our sponsorship dollars went in this contest: helping families with very ill family members.

Julie Bragg of Stony Point Surgery Center, Beth and Rachel Reynolds of CJStuf.org

Beth herself is no stranger to good deeds. An organization in which she is a leader, called Running With Those Who Can’t, is just one of the amazing ways she is a Richmond hero.

Julie Bragg of Stony Point Surgery Center reads Beth's heartfelt nomination, which won her the title of 2012 Richmond, VA Supermom!

Here are Beth’s nomination and prizes:

Cool stuff that all went home with Beth!

My friend Beth Trebour IS Richmond’s SUPERMom! She is the mom to Jenna (16) and Rachel (13).  Jenna was born with a metabolic disorder called cerebral folic deficiency syndrome. Because of her disabilities, Jenna requires a lot of her family’s time and energy. Beth is a WORKING mom, employed as a Service Health Coordinator. Beth also trains and competes in triathlons, often pushing Jenna in a stroller and with Rachel right along side. In 2011 Beth helped start a new organization called Running With Those That Can’t. She has been one of the key organizers am not sure WHEN Beth sleeps! She took Rachel to the 12am premiere of “The Hunger Games.” No matter what challenge Beth is facing, no matter what stress she is facing, she ALWAYS has something funny to say, ALWAYS has a smile and laugh, ALWAYS has time for others, ALWAYS enjoys a glass of wine, ALWAYS fights for the best interest of her daughters, ALWAYS makes you feel important in her presence. Her daughters are a reflection of the SUPER mom she is!

Congratulations to all who were nominated, we think you are ALL Supermoms!

Mommy and Me for working moms http://richmondmom.com/2012/01/22/mommy-and-me-for-working-moms/ http://richmondmom.com/2012/01/22/mommy-and-me-for-working-moms/#comments Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:53:24 +0000 Amy Lavelle http://richmondmom.com/?p=17832 Maybe it was just the fog of being a new mom and going back to work, but I had a hard time finding Mommy and Me classes that I could actually attend with my new baby. It seemed the majority of Mommy and Me Yoga or playdates took place at 10:30am on a Tuesday, during my weekly conference call. A little research has turned up quite a number of classes I can do with my baby through her toddler and big kid years. I’ve compiled them here for the new working mom who doesn’t have time to do the searching. I’m sure there are more, and it doesn’t really help with the playdates – but try to find some other moms in the office to organize  a Saturday coffee and tot lot meet up?

Core Kids Academy: Saturdays and Sundays, Soaring Stars and Bright Stars class for 10-36 months  

CMoR Art Workshops: ages 4-9, second Saturdays

Romp and Roll: Saurdays and Sundays, multiple classes at multiple locations for 3 months through five years
