6 Healthy Habits that will benefit any Mother on Mother's Day

Simply Smile and Enjoy Life!

6 HEALTHY HABITS

BREATHE

When do you take a minute to really breathe?  Research says that listening to classical music and dimming the lights can help support your breathing.  Taking a nice deep breath and yawning can increase the oxygen to your body and make you feel better.

EXERCISE

It's funny to me to think that exercise boosts energy.  Exercise can be tiring but in the long run the benefits are amazing.  With regular physical activity you improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance.  And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy!

LOVE

Don't argue, love through your disagreements.  A study by Ronald Glazer and Jan Kiecolt-Glaser, in which couples were observed during disputes showed that a more loving, positive interaction had higher immediate immune function.  Dr. Gonzaga says, the key to positive conflict resolution is productively engaging in conversation.

LIVE

Live for today.  Sometimes we get so caught up in our past that we aren't paying attention to our present day.  Stop thinking for a moment and look around you at the many small blessings you have in your life.

PRAY

Good communication is essential to a good relationship.  If we start with a simple daily prayer, it opens up our hearts.  Some people pray in the morning to start their day and others finish their night with a prayer habit. 

BELIEVE

"Changing habits is fundamental to changing your life. Everything you repeatedly do, say and think is as a direct result of your habits.  To enjoy permanent, positive change in your life, you must change your negative beliefs and their associated habits," says Tania Kotsos.  Believe in possibilities!

Gingerbread House and Holiday Cookies, so many Decorating Decisions?

My parents have 10 grandkids and this holiday was the first time they had all of them together.  We had an early celebration on friday and even had professional photos taken.  This months cover will be a photo of them with their 10 grandkids.  Can't wait to share soon!  After the photo shoot, I took my niece and my kids over to my in-laws and the kids made a Gingerbread house and we made 12 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange.  There are so many choices when it comes to creating your Gingerbread House masterpiece.  How do you decide?  With the cookies we made a mix of cookies, and each one was so different and delicious.  It made for a wonderful afternoon and evening with family!  Heartfelt memories for my kids and for me!  That's my favorite part of the Holiday season.

Building the Gingerbread House, so many steps.

         

Cousins enjoy the finished results!

                                              Oh so delicious!!

Heartbeat Connection Magazine September Cover

This month's cover girls are sisters Caitlyn and Madison with their cousin Amanda. I enjoyed the relaxed feel of the girls all together, they look so peaceful and happy.  Jenny Plocinski was the photographer from Plocinski Photography.   

I sure love being able to create fun layouts with such beautiful girls.  I've been busy uploading the magazine online today and sharing the links and photos on social media sites.

What have you been doing this weekend?
