TCQ&A: AMANDA CULPEPPER
“For our wedding anniversary, my husband rented out a SoulCycle studio just for the two of us,” says the founder of Nanpower, which monetizes nannies’ spare time. “And he even persuaded Laurie Cole to lead us.” (Note: This TCQ&A was the subject of much discussion in the comments, but please all the way through before you weigh in.)

MOMS IN TRAINING—GET FIT, MEET MOMS, FIGHT CANCER
Calling all moms in the area! Join us for Moms in Training at Pier 25 starting early April. Moms in Training is a flexible 10-week workout program for moms with kids of all ages—including stroller workouts for new moms and adaptive workouts for expecting moms! Season culminates with an optional 10K run in Central Park, June 14. Watch the 1-minute video to learn what has inspired 300 NYC moms to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “Fun, social, and so rewarding,” says Tribecan Gina Barac-Bauer. “I ran in honor of my dad, who was undergoing chemotherapy, and it meant so much to be able to give back to his treatment efforts.” More info at momsintraining.wix.com/moms, or contact Ashley Best at (212) 376-5145, ashley.best@lls.org.
