About

How many times can you recall yourself saying, "We should really have more time as a family" or "I should consider doing more activities with my kids".  We live in a world that is fast paced and high intensity...which doesn't leave much downtime for creative planning.

Spotify or Apple Radio are perfect and quick solutions to making a quick play list of your favorite songs that " get your family movin - movin"!  I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old who are learning about keeping beat, and isolating each and every body part and doing the shake/shimmy/twist...or whatever you want to call it! Yes this is a great activity for parents to burn a few extra calories before dinner, but we need to remember that our kids aren't moving as much as they did a generation ago.  Michelle Obama made childhood obesity a 'real thing' a ...
