Circus Trix OC Offers An Amazing Indoor Experience
Birthday Celebrations: This past month we hosted a belated birthday party for my daughter. When her birthday came around in July we just had so much going on we didn’t have the time to organize a birthday party for her. Mind you, we did celebrate with the family, but kids like to invite their friends to celebrate their day. I discovered Circus Trix OC from another mom blogger and took my daughter and one of her pals there over the fall break and boy did the kids loose their minds! There is SO much for them to do and I love that I can sit upstairs and see them…

The Importance of Stretching
Last month I wrote about the many benefits of a 30-60 minute daily walk. It has helped me lose that extra weight gained from taking steroids (yuck) and lately I’ve been incorporated some of my favorite yoga stretches about halfway through my walk. If you didn’t get a chance to read the post about the health benefits to walking you can read it here. Stretching every day with some easy yoga poses will help you in so many ways! It can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, range of motion in your joints. Better flexibility may improve your performance in physical activities or decrease your risk of injuries by helping your joints move…

Start Walking and Reclaim Your Mind and Body
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” ~ Albert Einstein A few months ago I decided to take time out for myself and get back in shape. I was SO over carrying this extra weight I gained from my neck injury and taking steroids (it is a real thing people) and I wanted to find a form of exercise that would fit into my busy lifestyle.

Celebrate Earth Day All Month Long With PBS Kids!
Beginning this month, PBS KIDS is springing into Earth Month with its annual Explore the Outdoors initiative, encouraging families to get outside and discover nature. Our family loves to take nature walks and we try to do this together a couple times a week. Sometimes we head to our local park with the dog (though he is not a good family walker – he gets too excited and does better on solo walks!) or the Back Bay while our daughter rides her bike. Our latest adventures include heading to the beach while my daughter searches for seashells while watching the sunset. Getting families outdoors is what Explore the Outdoors…
