Usually, I can leave bumper stickers and their silly attempt to capture the driving audience. I was captured by cool cuteness today and it made me a bit clucky. Have a look.
These words were uttered by my preschooler while we were practicing at home. Yoga. It's a lifestyle for us and I start them early. The flexibility, strength, and peace it brings to any student practicing yoga is greatly beneficial to your life. Whether you're at home, traveling, or on the beach, yoga exercise is free and can be done anywhere.
Classes are always an option, but you can get online tutorials. CD's, books and videos are also readily available to guide your practice.
It doesn't have to be expensive to be healthy.
This photo is from Calm For Kids Yoga Card Set. My children love to take turns drawing a card and then play instructor by displaying the pose for us. (Instructions for proper form are included.)
We frequently practice family style yoga at home. We don't take it too seriously and the kids love that they have their favorite poses down. Hence the title of this post...
Tips for doing yoga with kids:
Use towels for the little ones if you don't yet have mats for your whole crew.
Drink water during practice.
Less is more with kids. Don't push them.
Follow it up with some meditation.
Have fun.
Namaste.
Our dear friends shared their most recent family photo with us. Their very artistically inclined daughter combined her skills with her absolute love of nature to create this: A naturally artistic rendition of her family.
Creativity is key to a happy childhood and photos like this prove just that. We love.
Here is a real life scene that repeats itself most every morning in our house. Used by adults and children alike, yoga is simply a part of our life. Namaste.
These were the words uttered by my 4 year old after spotting this beautiful mantis inside the house.

It's that's time of year and we've really dug into the dirt to prep our own garden. Here is a sample from a friend's cutting garden. Who doesn't love Spring?
We managed to pick up this coveted little guide just in time for the warm weather. The Breeze Walking Festival Guide is an annual calendar of walking quick trips, treks and a few journeys that will get you and the family up and moving now. Events run 27 September - 5 October, with a few even running until 12 October. Embrace this beautiful weather and take a hike!
Grab your handy little walking festival guide today which includes a convenient pull-out calendar of events while you're out and about or click here for more information.
Getting children to appreciate the garden should be a life goal for all parents. They are amazed by the simplicity that is growing things and that's as it should be. A tiny garden means future sustainability. A tiny gardener guarantees food's future. Period.
Butterflies are usually a sign of change. We spotted this beautiful creature not far from the beach and we think he was trying to tell us Spring is coming. Unfortunately for him, it's not quite here yet.
