I am learning to enjoy life and slow down more often ... all thanks to my daughters.
I used to tell one of my twins to hurry up all the time ... her slow walking drove me nuts! Especially since the other 2 were running and racing. Then I stopped one day on the path and observed her. She was looking at a flower. I got down to her level and saw she was watching a lady bug crawl up a petal. She looked at me and said, " mom ... it's so pretty" as she had a huge smile on her face.
As a society, we always seem to be in a hurray . Rushing to get home after work. Rushing to get our kids to activities. Rushing to eat. Rushing to get groceries. Rushing to go to the bathroom cause kids keep knocking on the door.
This is the life we're exposing our kids to. To always be in a hurray and to not slow down.
When we step back, slow down and go at our children's pace, we appreciate the world around us so much more. The mountains, the cactus, the ocean, the leaves on the trees, the lady bug on the petal.
Life really can be magical! ... See MoreSee Less

Last week in my Kids Momentum and Motivation class, we made Self - Love and kindness boxes.
The girls decorated them any way they wanted and then they wrote 3 kind words or phrases about themselves to put in their box. Then others wrote kind words about their friends and put it in their kindness box. I also sent home plain pieces of paper so family members could do the same.
So on days where the girls might feel sad, lonely, upset or just need an uplifting moment, they can open their self- love box and read these positive words and hopefully realize they are loved and amazing!
It's the small gestures and words that can lift someone up.
So not just on #pinkshirt and #antibullying day, but everyday, show love, kindness and respect to all.
My Kids class combines all 7 dimensions of wellness into 1 class! We exercise, we journal or craft and be learn how to be mindful! Each week we have a theme and learn about the 7 dimensions.
This is a MUST class for kids!!
