Fun Things To Do As a Family

September 23, 2019 by Charles Leave a Comment

If you’re always keen to spend more time as a family, continue reading to discover a few fun activities to tick off as a family. As you’ll be sure to make lasting memories with your kids, that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life!

Fun things to do as a family:

Visit your nearest ice-skating rink to teach your kids how to ice-skate:

Whether you’re proud of your ice-skating skills and can perform a few impressive tricks or you’ve never step foot on an ice-skating rink in your life, it’s well worth teaching your kids how to ice-skate. If you’re not fortunate enough to have an ice-skating rink in your city, you may want to consider planning a fun family trip to a family friendly desitnation which boasts an ice-skating rink. As an example, imagine how much fun your kids would have ice-skating around the ice rink at Rockefeller Center in New York in November or December.

Visit your local library as a family:

If you have young kids, it’s well worth checking if your local library offers free storytelling sessions, which young kids love. One of the bonuses of visiting a library as a family once a week, is that every member of your family will be able to choose new books to check out. Even if your family has young elementary school age children as well as older teens.

Play video games together:

Instead of leaving your kids alone when they want to play their favorite video games, it’s well worth playing video games as a family once a week. Especially if your kids enjoy playing co-op games, which will allow your family members to work together as a team.

Collect decorative seashells at your local beach:

Not only can you collect beautiful seashells as a family during summer but you can also bundle up in warm winter gear, in order to search for seashells during fall and Winter. If your family has a pet dog, it’s well worth seeing if there are any dog friendly beaches in your area. As you’ll be able to kill two birds with one stone and to search for seashells, while walking your dog.

Volunteer:

Volunteering as a family is a wonderful idea as you’ll be able to teach your kids about how they make a difference in the world. If you foster a love of volunteering into your children at a young age, they’ll be likely to grow up into caring, empathetic adults. One way to get your kids excited about volunteering is to volunteer at an organization that they are already interested in.

As an example, if your kids love animals, you may want to volunteer at your local animal shelter. Even if your closest shelter isn’t currently accepting volunteers, your kids may be keen to fundraise for your local shelter. So that they can purchase essential items such as pet food. For example, if your kids enjoy baking, they may want to set up a little stall outside your house selling freshly baked cookies to raise money for their chosen cause.

Create home made DIY slime:

Instead of purchasing ready made slime, it’s well worth purchasing all the ingredients which you need to make slime at home. As half of the fun of slime, is making it.

So what are you waiting for? Children grow up in the blink of an eye and it’s well worth spending as much quality time with your kids while you still can. Hopefully you’ve found a couple of activities which you can’t wait to share with your kids and partner!

How To Stay Healthy: A Simple Guide

September 23, 2019 by Charles Leave a Comment

As you only have one body, it’s crucial to take special care of your body. To discover a few invaluable tips on how to stay fit, healthy and active simply continue reading.

How to stay healthy:

Measure your ingredients when you cook for yourself:

In order to avoid preparing larger portions of food than you should be consuming, it’s a great idea to get into the habit of measuring your ingredients when you prepare your meals. As an example, you can’t go wrong investing in an electronic scale in order to weigh your ingredients.

Pay attention to the serving sizes on the back of food products:

A great way to ensure that your portion sizes are healthy is to pay close attention to the recommended serving sizes which are listed on the back of the vast majority of food packages. As you may be surprised to find that you may be eating bigger portion sizes, then you should be consuming. Especially if you’re looking to lose weight or to maintain a healthy weight.

Ensure that fruits and vegetables are a part of all of your meals:

Ideally each of your meals should feature fruits or vegetables. As an example, you may want to get your day off to the right start by consuming oats, served with Greek yoghurt and fresh blueberries and bananas. While salads and steamed vegetables pair nicely with meat or tofu for your lunches and dinners.

Even if you indulge in your favorite foods such as burgers and pizzas, it’s a smart idea to experiment with new vegetables, which you can add to your home made burgers and pizzas. As examples, you may enjoy adding baby corn, spinach, eggplant, zucchini and kale to your home made pizzas.

Download a handy app which will remind you to drink water:

To avoid becoming dehydrated consider downloading a handy app which will give you regular alerts, when it’s time to consume a glass of water. To ensure that you drink at least 6-8 glasses of water per day. As your body requires water in order to operate efficiently and to flush toxins out of your body.

Purchase an affordable, inexpensive jumprope:

If you lead a busy, hectic lifestyle and find yourself running short on time to go to the gym, make sure to invest in a cheap jump rope. As research has shown that 10 minutes of jumping rope at a moderate pace can burn the same amount of calories as a 30 minute jog. As a bonus, as jump ropes are portable, you’ll be able to take your jump rope with you, when you travel. To ensure that you stay in shape, even when you’re on vacation and eating out on a daily basis.

Measure yourself once a week:

As muscle weighs more than fat, if you’re looking to keep track of your health and fitness you’re far better off measuring your arms, legs, waist and hips each week, than stepping on a scale. To see whether you’re becoming leaner or whether you’re losing your definition and need to work on your fitness.

So if you’d love to take better care of your body, it’s a great idea to start off by implementing all of the handy diet and exercise tips which are listed above!
