Summer is the season we all look forward to in Wisconsin. After a long winter I am SO ready to get out with the kids and go camping, play sports, hang out at the beach, and to just be OUTSIDE without having to wear 10 layers of clothing! But to me, Summer is also the time when we get to spend a few weeks at our community pool for swimming lessons. Registration for these classes begins in a few short weeks, so here is a list of our local outdoor swimming lessons. The lessons are very reasonably priced, and (bonus!), they help the kiddos learn a great life saving skill! Hope to see you at a pool this Summer!

If it weren’t for leftover Halloween candy, pumpkin pie and Christmas cookies, this might not be such a bad thing. However, staying active in winter not only makes it easier to eventually get back into a swimsuit, it also helps keep away any seasonal depression symptoms.
I’m not a “Game of Thrones” fan, but winter is coming. In fact, I'd say it’s solidly here.

Prior to becoming a stay-at-home mom I worked in a Preventive Cardiology clinic where day in and day out I helped patients set goals to better their own health. The typical method I used when helping people set goals was to make a S.M.A.R.T goal. To explain this further, here is the product of taking my resolution and making it into a S.M.A.R.T. goal:
The mornings that trip me up are when an otherwise-healthy daughter sits picking at her breakfast and complaining that her belly “just started hurting.” Is it stomach flu? Stress? An overwhelming desire to snuggle in pajamas and watch “My Little Pony”??
