Lessons in life will be repeated until they are learned.
Physical Health
Eat Well
What's the difference between a 'dietician' and a 'nutritionist' and why should you even care? Further, do you need to see one?

Let's move!
EMOM Time!
Every minute, on the minute. Descriptions are below, the timer will be 4 10:00 timers. You can do this! Remember, form is important, but the faster you complete the moves, the longer your rest will be before the fun starts again at the top of the next minute.
Start your music!
EMOM 1: 7 Box jumps, 10 rear lunge + forward kick
EMOM 2: 5 Roll-ups (to standing), 5 long jumps
EMOM 3: 10 Crab toe touch, 8 Jack complex (regular jack, front raise jack, jack tap back both sides/feet)
EMOM 4: 10 Full sit-ups, 10 Russian twists

For many of us, school is in session and this means we get to hear school stories from our kids. Now, some of our kids have not been in this sort of social situation for a while, and may be a bit rusty. Be sure you listen well, and help our kids to properly interpret their interactions with other kids, especially if they are face-to-face. Help your kids properly interpret their peer interactions; is it really a mean kid or a bully or is it something more benign?

We have many different versions of how to experience a household, right. Two parents, one parent, two part-time parents, grandparents pitching in … what I know for sure is that it is hard work to parent. When one of the parents work outside the home, that changes the household equilibrium, and it take a lot of respect and empathy to help keep the relationship happy. A stay-at-home parent is NOT simply lounging around, eating bonbons. They are very much ‘working’.

I love a good breakfast bar recipe especially one that is easy to make, full of fiber, and my kids will eat. This one is a great option, especially on those crazy back-to-school mornings.
