School’s Back in Session…And It’s Driving Me Nuts!
Schools back in session! I had it all planned out wed get up nicely, coffee pot was on a timer, hot oatmeal and pancakes would be waiting alongside fresh squeezed orange juice NOT! As luck would have it, the alarm didnt go off! I sprung out of bed this morning in sheer panic! There I went, sounding like a boot-camp Drill Sergeant while flailing about and barking orders through the hallway to wake up my kids for school – Up, up, cmon, cmon! Out of bed, out of bed, in the shower, in the shower! Hurry, hurry! Grab some fruit, kidsPUT THOSE TWINKIES BACK, that sugars gonna wind you up (as I stand there with my sugary loaded coffee)! Out the door, out the door! GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
School Lunch: Brown Bag It!
We have been bombarded lately with media stories about food and nutrition and how the ‘Supersize Me’ generation has affected our kids’ health. Obesity has doubled in this country in the last 20 years, and type II diabetes is following in the same direction. As a result, one of the issues you may be concerned with is what your kids are being served in their school cafeterias. I watched an episode of Jamie Oliver’s “Food Revolution” and I was horrified at what some schools thought was food. I know some of you don’t feel like you have the time to pack a lunch, but truthfully, it can take 5 minutes. With the knowledge that your kids may be eating all refined and processed foods at school, you may want to consider “brown bagging” their lunches from now on. Here are some really great ideas that your kids will love — and you can have them help you make it!

Escape & Educate with a Family Movie Night!
My grandmother loved the movies and found them to be poetry in motion. The medium was birthed in her lifetime and she loved it, soaked it up and enjoyed the off-screen drama of the movie stars. Weve shared many multi-generational conversations over films, which are immortal and transcendent. Todays world is much more celebrity and information obsessed but what I care about is the bonding that happens over media — movies, television, theater, music, dance, art I love it all! No matter what time of year, a movie night is special. Whether setting up at home for a movie night or going to the movies, theres nothing like it. Movies are timeless and the experience lives on well after the lights turn back on.
Keep the House Clean? Are You Kidding Me?!
It has been said that keeping our home clean and organized sets a great example for our children. It reflects pride and importance about our surroundings. It would be a disservice to our family if we didnt keep our homes tidy and that a dirty house can actually give us the blues. It can deplete the quality and integrity that we work so hard for.
