“Mom, you are over feeding me,” said my eight year old son, Thomas, “You are making me fat.”
What? Making you fat. What does this kid know? I am the weight management consultant. He doesn’t know what he is talking about.
After looking more closely at what I had served him…Well, he was right.

“In my house the laundry always piles up” she sighed. She was tired and overwhelmed. There wasn’t enough time in the day to finish all that she “had” to do.” This juggling act between motherhood and womanhood had reached a breaking point. She was losing it!

As the parent of four children, I witness an improvement in family dynamics whenever we are able to spend time outside together as a family. Whether it’s just playing games or better still going on a family hike or bike ride, we just seem to get along better outside. Conversations come more easily and we actually seem to listen to each other. Nobody is distracted by a digital screen, a magazine or a ringing phone. Outside, we play with each other, look out for each other, and share smiles as we witness a brilliant vista or waterfall. Somehow our kids’ complaints about “how much they hate hiking” miraculously disappear by the end of the trip.
