Sister Tipsters

Who said snacks are just for kids?  Not us.  We wish we were snacking right now!  Join Andrea and Marianne on this episode of the Sister Tipsters to discuss top snack ideas for ALL!

It takes a village.  Many hands make light work.  

It doesn't matter the quote, chores are part of the deal.  If you are part of the family team, you are part of the family tasks.  But, how do you get the littlest members of the team to help with the chores?  Andrea and Marianne have gathered and shared the top tips and chores from friends, family and their own experience.  This episode is a must- listen for getting those chores to be part of daily life. 

Have you ever wished you could skip eating?  Somehow refuel without ever having to sit for a meal?  Let's be honest, meal time with kids is a juggling act.  It's high on the list of the least favorite daily activities once you become a parent (right up there with bath time...are we right?).  Have you tried engaging your kids?  Including them in the meal and meal conversation?  We polled some of our favorite parents, dug out all the mealtime memories we locked away and came up with our list of ways to enjoy mealtime.  Whether it's a holiday meal, restaurant meal or just everyday dinner at home, we have some tips to get you back to enjoying your meals!

In this episode, Andrea and Marianne are shouting out the very first episode of Sister Tipsters and every episode since then.  

Do you scroll past the intro to every episode?  Do you fast forward, thinking "I've heard this before"?   Are you confused why we remind you to "get moving" when you listen to an episode?  This is your chance to hear our side.  Understand why we say get moving and why it's just another life raft we are throwing your way.  One to keep you afloat and give you that starting point.

So throw on those headphones, lace up your shoes and head out for a little bit of exercise while you listen to your new best friends, Andrea and Marianne.
