Get those Kiddos Moving!

Back in my day you were always playing outside, there wasn't video games and you didn't come in until it was getting dark. Now a days its totally different, even some schools don't offer gym anymore! Our kids need to get up and get moving!

Give Kids Chores:

Vacuuming, laundry, cleaning and walking the dog all keep them moving and you are teaching them responsibility.

Exergame:

Turn screen time into a healthy activity with games from Dancetown, Kinect, Wii and Xavix. In fact playing the games for 10 minutes produces as many benefits for kids as walking for 10 minutes on a treadmill

Set up a family challenge:

Every day have a new competition, whoever does the most push-ups, squats or jumps that day wins.

Run drills:

Set up 4 cones in a line 10 to 20 yards apart, give each one of them a number. Have the kids start at the same spot. Blow a whistle and call out a number, each kid runs to that cone and does an exercise (jumping jacks, squats, hopping on one foot etc). until you blow the whistle again and then run back to start and repeat.

Let them walk to school:

You will save money on gas and they will be getting some exercise

Host an indoor obstacle course:

On a rainy or cold day supervise some indoor fun. Examples: couch sit and jump, kitchen sock running man, hallway sprints....the ideas are limitless!

Thank you All You

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
