Adult Time Out

Admit it – how many times have you wanted and needed to take a time out? Just step away from your kids for just a moment to gather your thoughts and collect your composure? My husband needed to do that the other day but did not have the sense to walk away. So what did I do? He was on our master balcony on the phone so I locked him out there. Yes, I did. The kids wanted to know what was going on and I said since daddy was yelling he needed a time out. They thought that was the funniest thing ever and proceeded to torture him by not letting him inside or opening up the door even though he begged. They realized that everyone needs a time out once in a while – even the parents. He realized what was going on and eventually, quietly sat out there for a bit (it was a long way down!) He was much more calm afterwards!

Get your calcium in! Exercise supplement – The Bar Method Boston @AdoraCalcium

Last week I had the opportunity to visit and take a class at The Bar Method Boston and learn more about calcium from the folks at Adora Calcium.

In celebration of national Osteoporosis awareness and education month Adora Calcium treated us to an introductory bar method fitness class at The Bar Method Boston on Clarendon Street. We learned more about how calcium plus weight bearing exercises equals strong bones.  The class was fun yet challenging and boy was I feeling it the next day!  This fun class is one way to get in your exercise.  We also received some treats in the form of a delicous calcium supplement called Adora. Each chocolate disk (choose dark or milk) provides 50% of your daily value of calcium with vitamin D3 and magnesium.  They are gluten free, have no corn syrup and no trans fats. You know you crave a sweet treat many times in the afternoon and this little chocolate disk tastes good and is good for you! Check out the information on their web site.

Disclosure: The company treated me to a class at The Bar Method Boston and provided lunch and a gift bag with samples of the calcium supplement. All opinions are my own.

Prom Stroll

Our town has this event where all the kids walk down the center of town in their prom attire. It is such a nice community event and my girls wanted to go see their babysitter and neighbors all dressed up. Times have changed – I do not remember the dresses being that fancy when I went to the prom. The colors and styles of the dresses were so beautiful and they all looked grown up!  The boys attire was just as fancy.  Speaking of the prom when did it start to be referred to as just prom and when did “the” get dropped? Makes me feel old!  Just another fun event in the June Juggle month of activities!

The June Juggle

June is a very busy month. Not only are the kids summer swim and dive team practices starting, but there are birthday and graduation parties, end of the year sports parties and last practices and try outs for fall sports. We talked how to balance it all on today’s trendymomies report on 980 WCAP-AM. We also started talking about gifts for father’s day!

Embracing Technology

I told myself this was the year I would embrace technology.  For Christmas and my birthday my husband bought me the iphone 5 and mini i pad. I finally bought myself a nook (with glowlight!) For mother’s day my husband bought me a laptop. So far I only opened up the nook a few times. While I went away for girls weekend in Miami my friend had her kindle and was like, “how come you are not reading on your new nook?”  I just wanted to relax, enjoy the scenery and not have to worry about finishing the book! anyway… I hope to use all my new technologies more often. It is amazing how technology continues to change. Remember when no one had a cell phone? How did we ever get by without a quick check of facebook, twitter, email, instagram…..

I am also loving the cases for my new devices.  I discovered these really cool cases from BUILTny. The company sent me a couple to test out for my ipad and then I bought myself one for my laptop. I like the material. It is made from NEOPRENE (like the wet suit material) and they really do offer Great protection. Check it out!

Memorial Day Weekend

This day is always a tough day to go back to work after being off since Friday. It was a relaxing weekend but a cold one. There was actual snow in New Hampshire!   This is the weekend to kick off the summer. Are you ready?

This weekend we went swimming, played tennis, basketball and even got a game in of volleyball (seldon v. seldon)  at our swim and tennis club. It is our first year joining so the kids are excited.  There is still about four more weeks of school left so we will have to finish all the sporting events and then it’s on to swim, dive and tennis! Now let’s bring on the warm weather!
