Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day! Being a mother of two beautiful children has been one of the best blessings in my life. I have a 6yr old son and 9yr old daughter who are growing up so fast! I am thankful to God everyday for allowing me to have them and I pray that I may teach them how to be the best that they can be! Being a mother is a very demanding job but, so rewarding. We, as mothers, must teach them how to be a Christian and how to be a great father or mother one day!

We must also teach our children the importance of eating healthy and living an active life. This starts with you! I have brought my children up in an enviroment where they must always be willing to try new foods. They never know when they might like something. If you start your children out early eating healthier it makes them more aware of what they are putting in their mouths! My children love all sorts of fruits and vegetables and will just about try anything.

Exercise is another important part of our daily lives. I know we sometimes get so busy but, we must take time out everyday for physical activity. Not only do I take my children to the gym with me but, we try to be outside everyday. We like to ride bikes, play baseball or soccer or just go walking. It also gives us some one on one quality time together. I encourage each of you to take the time to try to get outside for some “playtime!”

On this day make it a commitment to be a healthy role model to your children! Start teaching them about eating right and exercising. Let them help you make cook in the kitchen. This can make it fun therefore they want to help and are willing to try what they have made.

Hope all of you have had a wonderful Mother’s Day! Enjoy your children because they grow up quickly!
