How-To's

Take those old family photos out of the photo album and hang them up on the wall for everyone to enjoy.

Even if you can’t do family dinners every night, carve out one night a week where everyone is home for dinner. Shop, cook & set the table for the meal together & teach your kids this is time for family. Get a basket for cell phones & have everyone put their phones in before coming to the table. Take the time to talk with your kids.

With all the change occurring around us constantly it’s easy to feel fatigued or even down. While we can’t control things like the economy or predict the future, we can create simple ways to re-energize ourselves during the course of the day to stay present & engaged in our lives. Start by setting a timer for 2 minutes and list as many things that you can think of that when you are experiencing or doing that, you just feel good; like nothing else in the world matters. The next time you start feeling low on energy, pick something on your list and do it.

As women, most of us play multiple roles (mother, daughter, wife, employee, employer, soccer/football mom, etc.) We are like ‘pitchers’ filling up everyone else’s cup, leaving ourselves for last. The problem is, we end up feeling empty. Which is why ‘me’ time is so important. When your pitcher is full, you have more to give, more energy, more enthusiasm - to your family & in your life. Making ‘me’ time doesn’t have to be complex. Here are a few ways you can incorporate it into your day & make YOU a priority.

It’s easy to feel disconnected & lose that special feeling. The only way to keep that home fire burning is to keep the fire stoked, adding fuel and heat on a regular basis. Remember the playfulness you had when you first met? Here are some ways to re-engage that romantic nature.

Faith by definition is a complete trust or confidence in someone or something, or a strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. Sometimes when things don’t go your way, or in times that feel hard or challenging, it can be hard to keep that faith. I’ve found that we are constantly receiving signs and signals to help us increase our everyday faith.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult. The simpler the food, the easier it is for our bodies to metabolize & use for fuel. The more complex & processed, the harder it is for our bodies to break down. Don’t get caught up in the latest fad or make nutrition more complex than it really is.
