Just reading the word yoga makes me want to take a deep inhale and exhale. Shall we take a few deep breaths together mamas? Ahhhhh…
Feeling more centered now? Then let me share with you new local yoga classes for OC moms in South Orange County taught by Kelly of Peace Flow Yoga.
I wanted to do a post on this new series Shanna is doing over at My Favorite Everything called “Getting Mama’s Groove Back” because as moms, battling the post baby weight is probably something EVERYONE can relate to. And if you just dropped the baby weight and were into your old jeans walking out of the hospital, please keep it to yourself (kidding, but not really…)
I am a germphobe. I wrote about it here. So I am big on hand washing. I wrote a post last year on “Proper Hand Washing Techniques” and the number of Google searches using the keywords “hand washing” & ” proper hand washing techniques” landing on that post have really ramped up recently which is not surprising since we are now entering cold and flu season. So seeing that I am not the only one interested in washing hands (WELL) I had to share this AWESOME hand washing song my daughter learned at preschool (and it is not to “happy birthday” or the “ABC’s!)
The year my daughter was two we participated in a Mommy & Me class at her preschool. To ease the kids into the preschool “drop off” pattern, the mommies would go into another room for about 45 minutes for a talk or presentation so the kids could get used to playing without mommy. One of these talks was presented by Sherri Fenn and the topic was all about teaching healthy eating habits to kids. In that presentation she spoke of the “Traffic Light Eating” technique to teach your kids how to make healthy choices. From that day on, I have used this with my daughter and it has been SO super effective I had to do a post on it!
I am thrilled to pieces to introduce fabulous local pediatrician, Dr. Jennifer Stahl of Mia Bella Pediatrics, who has been so kind as to offer to write Expert Advice blogs for Tiny Oranges readers! This topic hits close to home at our house, I am sure there are lots of you out there dealing with your own picky eaters. She offers some fantastic tips and ideas…
