I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sprint. I received a sample device to facilitate this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.
You know when the stars seem to align and a few things just fall into place at the right time. Well, that’s just what happened when we received our newest Sprint item to review this month.
This is one of those posts that, as a parent, I hope you never have to use. I hope you can file it away on a Pinterest board or in a favorites menu and never have to use it. In all honesty, I wish I didn’t have to write it.
My son has another broken bone this summer. It’s his 5th fracture in 2 years. (Oh, and my daughter was also in a cast last summer).
Yes, we’ve had him tested – for calcium deficiency, for Vitamin D deficiency, for brittle bone disease — you name it and they ran a test, checked the scans and referred to multiple physicians. But the only answer we have is that “he’s growing quickly and the bones haven’t filled in yet”. Not much comfort to any of us right now.
Let’s face it, most of us have been stuck inside too much lately. Running thru the mall, wrapping and baking, attending the kid’s performances and parties. We all spend a lot of time indoors at this time of the year.
I know what you’re thinking — reading is a stationary activity. Fortunately, that’s not always the case.
There are a number of terrific kids books that encourage the reader to get up and move with the story! These 10 reads are a great way to get the kids moving and introduce them to ways they can strengthen their muscles, balance and large motor skills.
And once their done ‘reading’, they will surely settle in for some much needed rest 😉

I don’t know about you but my kids tire me out — All. The. Time.
It’s a good tired – wouldn’t trade it for the world! Parenting takes lots of energy and I’m always looking for ways to stay healthy and full of energy. Luckily, I’ve found a few things that really work for me, and no, it’s not hours at the gym.
I decided a long time ago that I wanted to be a parent who keeps up with the kids. I want to play chase and tag with them. And go biking, sledding and swimming – not sit on the sidelines. And it was also really important for me to find ways to fit in easy and simple healthy behaviors that I could stick with for a long time.
As part of a post sponsored by Collective Bias®, I visited Walgreens to learn more about annual flu vaccines and their amazing “Give a Shot, Get a Shot” campaign which helps kids around the world to stay healthy.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not crazy over shots but I do get my flu shot every year. When I attended grad school for Public Health, I learned about the benefits of getting regularly scheduled vaccines for kids & adults.
Today I need to tell you a story.
They don’t all scream out at you like that, otherwise we wouldn’t overlook them, right.
But this was a biggie — and it had an impact on my child’s health.
I like to have some snacks for them after school (food always seems to increase the details I get about their day 😉 but I’m a big one for healthy eating.
