I thought this coat (last seen here) was great in adding a little extra pop of color to these fabulous floral pants.  

We had a relaxing weekend.  Nothing really planned except family time, running a few errands and going shopping with the nuggets for their toys they earned (we've been teaching them about money, chores, saving etc.).  On Saturday mornings my wonderful hubs lets me get a little extra sleep.  He gets the twins up and takes them downstairs to entertain and fix breakfast for them, isn't he the best!  So Saturday I got up, went downstairs and Ella, with a huge smile on her face, says, "it's present day!"  Like it's a national holiday...  She was very excited to get her toy she so deserved and earned :).

This month in my life I decided I'm going to work on feeling better.  Don't get me wrong, I don't feel sick or anything, but I feel run down.  It's definitely this time of year in part.  The weather is cold, I'm anxious for warmth, more sunshine & playing outside.  But I'm going to get checked out, make sure my vitamin intake is ok, get healthy & fit.  Come along with me and I'll share my fit & health findings!

Mama Said Monday

In talking about being healthy, I thought I would share this awesome product.  I don't keep my kids confined in the winter.  They play with sick kids with colds, and I don't make them wash their hands every time they eat.  Of course I don't want them to be sick, but I believe some germs are good for them to build up a resistance.  My nuggets have been on an antibiotic once (just Jack), not even the full dose, for an ear infection.  One way I've kept them healthy?  Kefir!  Kefir is a cultured milk, a great probiotic.  I've been giving it to my kids all season and let me tell you how healthy they've been.  I mix it into their regular yogurt (I use all organic dairy products because of all the extra hormones in non-organic) and give it to them about 2/3 times a week.  I tried smoothies in the morning, but since they are picky eaters, they wouldn't have it.  Mixing it with yogurt - awesome!  You can read more about Kefir and it's benefits here.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Happy Monday!
