A few times a year I send out surveys to our community around faith, fitness and food and the results are always so interesting but there are always some common responses shared and one of them is the struggle of having a plan. Most people can easily come up with goals like “I want to lose weight, I want to eat better, I want to spend more time reading my Bible” but it’s having a plan to reach those goals where a lot of people seem to get stuck. I think this is so telling because we often know the results we want but we don’t take time to put a plan in place that we can follow to lea ..read more

Recess and PE are part of most kids school schedule for an important reason. There have been some amazing studies done that show how exercise is super important when it comes to a child’s learning. The book “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain ..read more
