Show More Kindness Than Expected

Happy Father’s Day

I want to wish all the Dad’s, Daddy’s, Pa’s, Papa’s, and Father’s around the world a wonderful day. I wish all good things to come your way.

Happy Father’s Day to all that are celebrating on this Sunday. Enjoy your day with your Family.

Happy Father’s Day to my Fabulous Husband. I love you bunches! You are the Daddy of our children and they both love you lots.

I know my Daddy is watching me from Heaven. I am smiling up at him and wishing him a terrific Day.

Mother’s Day Quotes

Few quotes to celebrate a Happy Mom’s Day to all you fine Mom’s:

“Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.”  ~Charles R. Swindoll, The Strong Family

 ”Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.” ~Harriet Beecher Stowe

 ”It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn’t get to.”  ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

 ”Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.” ~Oprah Winfrey

 “Now that… my kids are grown, I understand how much work and love it takes to raise and to keep a family together.  The strength, devotion, and patience ripples through the generations.” ~Forest 

 

 

 

Be a healthy example for your kids

For your kids and your GrandKids. Childhood obesity is rising faster than the national debt. About one in five school-age kids is obese-one in three in some cities.

You might even think that if “baby fat” is still accumulating in elementary school, kids don’t run the same scary health risks adults do. There’s time to turn things around, right?

Not so much.

Heart disease isn’t for grown-ups anymore. If  you have overweight preteens, they can have heart disease by age 15 or 16, according to new research. And while girls’ heart health seems to bounce back to normal if their weight does, in boys, cardio dangers can hang on.

Help your child get healthy now:

1. Do as I do: Kids are often like a video camera with the sound off-they tune out what you say but watch everything you do. If you and your partner are obese, there’s an 80-per-cent chance your kids will be, too. So ditch the junk and be a role model.

2. Relax as you eat: Family meals should be fun.  Playful conversation (“Hear any good jokes today?” “What super-power do you wish you had?”) allows everyone to slow down and savour the meal so the brain has time to signal, “You’re full” before you overeat.

3. Make life a playground: Pumping up activity is critical to losing weight. Turn off the TV and get the family outside for a game of touch football, sledding or just a walk around the block.

It makes me most proud when my GrandKidlets are so active. I mark on my calendar the different workouts I have done throughout the week. To see my Grand daughter read how active her Grandma has been and to comment on it makes it all worthwhile for me. I hear them telling me on how they went for a walk with Mommy and Daddy and their dog. The stories on how hard they played or how hard they ran or a sport they are involved in.

My daughter joins me at the GYM on her day off and with her being active and myself I feel we are good fitness role models for our little people. It will benefit them for sure!!
