Hey, I’m a guest blogger!

Today I had the privilege of being a guest blogger on a lovely blog by a very inspirational woman. Fitpixiemama is letting us follow along on her journey to better health and vitality through better food choices and fitness. She doesn’t consider herself an athlete or health guru, but she is very determined to create a healthier, pain-free life for herself. When I don’t feel like exercising or like I just don’t have the energy to cook one more well thought out meal for my family, I think WWFD (What Would Fitpixiemama Do)? Then I push myself to get off my butt and just do it, because I’ll feel better that I did once it’s done. I am encouraged my her resolve on a daily basis.

So, thank you Fitpixiemama for letting me be a part of your project and for being a hero of mine.

Scrubalicious.

My little man likes to help out in the kitchen. His favorite chore is helping to wash all the fresh veggies for the week’s salad. We wash all of the lettuce, carrots, celery, broccoli, radishes, peppers and whatever else we happen to have from the farm that week. He loves to grab the potato scrubber and get all that dirt off in a big pot of cold water. He’s been doing it since he was big enough to reach in to the sink with the help of a chair or step stool. I think it’s helped his nutrition to work so closely with the food that we eat. I highly encourage parents to have their kids help them wash and prepare fresh vegetables on a regular basis. When they are involved in the process, they are much more likely to eat their fruits and veggies.
