Anyone have a Fitbit 2? Tell me what you think. I’d like to have a heart rate monitor.

Waking up without having to rush out the door for school (This is day 2)

The fact that my child still holds my hand in public.

My hammock time. I never understood the appeal of a hammock until we got one. I like this nylon one because the knitted hammocks always hurt my skin after awhile.

With the warmer weather here, I’m living off of Mint Iced Tea.

I love fresh mint in regular, green salad. Such a nice surprise of freshness. Try it!

Bananas in fruit salad and kiwi for the pop of green, always. I make a little dressing with lime juice, zest and a little drizzle of honey. Keeps the bananas from browning a little bit!

Home Ec isn’t dying in Waldorf schools! My 8 year old has been cooking since kindergarten, learned to knit in 1st grade, to crochet in 2nd, and will be sewing, carving wood (they make a spoon, then a bowl, then a stool) by 8th grade. I wish more people knew about the Waldorf philosophy: a whole education for the head, hands, and heart.

That’s the Fitbit I have and I love it! I like having the heart rate monitor, although I don’t know how useful it actually is. I also use it as my alarm in the morning (it vibrates so my husband doesn’t have to wake up when my alarm goes off). I also enjoy that I can glance at my watch to see my steps. I used to have a jawbone tracker, but had to sync it to my phone to see my total for the day, which wasn’t very motivating. Go for it!

  I love my Fitbit too and have fun doing the workweek step challenges with friends. I recommend it if it helps keep you motivated. And I have the Blaze and love when it vibrates when I hit my steps for the day, it’s like a little mini victory for myself.
  
  Even though the heart rate monitor isn’t probably the most accurate, it’s nice when I feel anxious to look down and go “yep, my heart is racing” and force myself to relax for a few minutes.

I love having a five year plan, although ours is actually a ten year one that we’re halfway through! It helps keep us focused on the big picture whilst also maintaining a positive day to day life. The real trick is being able to be a little bit flexible. Have the plan in place, but don’t freak out when something doesn’t quite go as it should or you get sidetracked. It’s okay to adapt the plan as you go! I’ve been made redundant a couple of times during our plan and each time I’ve tried desperately to view it as life handing me an opportunity to reflect on things and change course. It didn’t always feel like that at the time, but now I can see how it’s actually helped me formulate a better plan!
