Valentine Party Fun for Kids

heart-balloons Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to have a party. Invite family and friends to share the day with you at your home. When a party is on the agenda, everyone can contribute ideas to make it fun.

Plan ahead. To avoid a rush, gather all of the party supplies a week in advance. Let everyone brainstorm ideas until the big shopping day arrives. With list in hand, find games and items for everyone.

Dress each guest to celebrate at the party. For the girls, give them a candy necklace. Once the party is over, she can nibble at her necklace for a sweet treat. For the boys, try candy whistles. It’ll be the most delicious sound they’ve ever made.

Fitness Friday Jan 23

Well this week I kinda fell off the wagon so to speak, I was so sick with this head cold and crazy migraine working out was the furthest thing from my head I rested most of the week. I did work out a few times just not every day. I felt as if my head was going to explode so my regular routine was not what I have been doing normally.

Weekly Round Up Jan 23

Good Morning All, Here we are another great week has just finished and we are on our way to a great weekend.

I hope each and everyone of you had a wonderful week. This week has been a long week here. My son brought home a cold and so kindly handed it to me and my body took it and held on to it tight and didn’t want to let it go. Totally not a fun week for me. I am starting to feel better now though.

Fun and Easy Family Workouts

Today, perhaps more than ever before, spending quality time with our families is important. It seems like adults and kids alike have impossibly busy lives, and we just don’t keep up with one another like we once did. So when we do get a moment to spend together, we want to get as much out of it as possible.

One way to do so is by having family workouts. You’ll get to catch up with the kids and spouse while doing something that is good for all of you. Children tend to pick up the habits of their parents, so by exercising with them, you make it more likely that they will exercise on their own now and in the years to come.

Do Setbacks Stop You Altogether?

box-of-chocolate Lets face it, Forrest Gump was right. Life IS like a box of chocolates. There are assorted flavors that are sweet, chewy, and sometimes nutty. We may not even like all of the chocolates in the box, but we have to deal with them.

There are many words to describe what happens when we don’t get what we want. Some use the term “failure” but even that word is used in the wrong context sometimes. We opt for words like “setback” and “stalled.”

Fitness Friday Jan 16

Ok So this is a day late I got busy yesterday.

Last year I decided I wanted to loose weight I never really said it or added it to my road map since it was once of those things that in the back of my mind it could never really happen. I keep hearing and reading that people never really keep it of and putting it out there made it more real and when I didn’t loose it or keep it off then the judging would begin. I do know that this is a insecurity that I have and the only real judging is in my head. The reason I am putting this out there for the world to know now.
