So mommies, it is time to take a moment out of your day and take care of yourself. Have you ever noticed how so many older people have age spots on their hands? Unfortunately, years of sun exposure can play a huge toll on our hands and can result in ugly age spots and possibly skin cancer. We are all aware, or should be aware, that we need to wear a moisturizer with sunscreen on our faces daily. Read the rest of this entry »
As moms, we all know that it is important to keep our child’s teeth brushed and to limit juice and other sugary foods. Did you know that eating cheese can also help prevent cavities? At Colbin’s last dental visit the dentist recommended that Colbin snack on cheese to keep his teeth healthy.
This week’s goal is to focus on taking care of our beautiful faces. Lets face it ladies, none of us want to look older than we are. So take charge of your skin now so you will not regret it later.

You may have read my previous post where I posted a dancing video for motivation. Well, guess what!? You can use dance as a form of exercise too! Hellooo Captain Obvious - Of course you knew that!
Trying to complete a 30 minute exercise session can be difficult for busy moms, so try dancing for 10 minute sessions 3 times a day. Dancing will give you an instant mood boost and burn calories. It is also a safe, fun and easy way to exercise with your kids of all ages. One of my favorite memories growing up was dancing with my mom around the house.

Hello Mommies!
In order to keep up with our kids and our many roles as a mother we need to take a little time to focus on ourselves and get healthy! The other night while I was up trying to rock Colbin (our oldest) back to sleep, who was struggling with a belly ache, I fell victim to a middle of the night infomercial. I lied, I wasn’t a victim…I love those things!!! After watching this health focused infomercial I came to the realization that Read the rest of this entry »
Hey Mommies,
Do you wake up some/most mornings feeling tired and lacking the energy you need to engage with your kids 100%. Your kids deserve to have an energetic mommy and you deserve to feel good! With this in mind, I challenge and motivate you to take a cold shower (as cold as your water will get) every morning before you start your day. I have been taking cold showers for a few years now and it makes me feel amazing. At first the cold water will take your breath away, but then your body will adjust and feel so alive.
