Here's a simple recipe you can make in bulk and have for a few days! Presentation and cutting veggies in different ways encourages kiddos to eat more and try new things :) Have you tried cutting your kids food differently to help them eat more veggies? What has worked for you?

Here’s a simple, solidly tasty Veggie Dip made from Greek yogurt and flavored with handy dried herbs and spices. Serve it to kids who love to dip!

Hi Mamas!
Just a simple note to say be kind to yourself, have grace and compassion and keep going! Not every day is going to be as good as you imagine before you wake up in the morning but keep making the most of it!
Keep focusing on the small positive and good things you do each day. Those good moments, when you start to see them, will only get keep growing.
Do you have plans for this weekend? My family is going to head to the beach for a day and soak up the sunshine while we can! Have a great weekend!!

Get outside.
Go for a walk without a destination or time limit. Give yourself time.

Getting outside just for the sake of walking can spur creativity, improve heart health, help those with back pain, improve digestion, increase mindfulness and focus, along with a litany of other things.

These are two of my favorite leg exercises to feel strong and build muscle! You can even do these at home with kids running around or while picking up toys!

If you want to build muscle and reap the benefits of unilateral work, start out by doing it like this.

Just a few thoughts from today. Being healthy is not just about having a regular workout routine- it’s also about mental and spiritual health too. We need balance if we want to be good at what we do.
What are some of your daily or weekly habits?

Here are some really helpful upper body stretches with a thick green band! This band is amazing for increasing upper body mobility. If you don't have one yet, you can purchase one at Fitness Depot in Ancaster. I will attach other videos that are especially helpful for moms in the comments.

Improve upper body strength with a mini band push-up!! I love these because they are either used to help you get stronger to do a full body push-up or improve smaller shoulder stability muscles if you put the band around your wrists. Remember to keep your muscles tight and squeeze your glutes to keep your hips from moving around! Try 3 sets of 8-12 🙂

Anyone have tight hip flexors? A lot of daily life can contribute to tight hip flexors- here are a few of my favorite stretches to do regularly to loosen the hips, glutes, and hamstrings!
The band is amazing for stretching and mobilizing! There are times when being a mom can make me feel like my whole body is tight. This provides relief after I’ve been using the baby carrier, lots of walking, pushing a stroller, or breastfeeding! This video is for the hips the next one will be for upper body!

Tight hips can lead to back pain, posture problems, muscle imbalances and more. But these 5 hip flexor stretches will have you feeling better, fast.

Mindfulness...
One of my main priorities with clients is teaching them to be aware of the food they eat and how it affects them- physically and mentally. It is an important learned skill that has enormous benefits!
👉energy
👉sleep
👉mental acuity
👉breastmilk supply
👉food choices while grocery shopping or eating out

☝️what other ways has mindfulness helped you?

“With that much awareness it can lead to healthier awareness without feeling deprived along the way...” from the article below...

For many people, it’s incredibly easy to eat without paying much attention to portion control, feelings of fullness or even flavor after the first few bites. Often, this is because we’re concentrating on other tasks — from watching TV while snacking, to eating lunch at our desks.
