MOVEMENT is MEDICINE I was reminded of this saying yesterday in the clinic while chatting to one of my favourite teenagers. It's something that we all often forget. Movement is medicine not just for the body but also for the mind. And the best thing of all - the only side effects are good ones! So get out there and get moving!

Looks like good pay for a day's work. Thought some of our lovely SRP community might be interested. I have it on good authority that the charity is the SCH Foundation

On the menu today: Play Dough Cup Cakes
Home made play dough is such a fun school holiday activity
Here's my favourite recipe:
4 cups plain flour
1 cup salt
125g cream of tartar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I like to use coconut oil for it's lovely scent)
Food colouring

Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir over a medium heat until the dough comes away from the sides. Once cool, divide into batches and mix a few drops of food colouring into each batch. Store in airtight containers - it will keep for weeks!
Kneading the food colouring into the dough is a great hand strengthening activity for children
Many thanks to Tabitha for sharing her creative cupcake design with me

I had a conversation recently with someone (Hi Fei!) about how delicious homemade nuggets are and how much my kids used to love them. They are made with chunks of chicken rather than mince. You can skip the marinade phase but it does help make them extra juicy and delicious. This recipe serves 2-4 and is not my own - many thanks to Jennene Plummer from Good Food Magazine

Delicious home-made chicken nuggets

Ingredients:
500g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed and cut into chunks
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup seasoned flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup dried breadcrumbs

Method:
Toss chicken in combined soy sauce and honey. Marinate for at least 30 mins. Drain well.
Coat each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off the excess.
Dip each nugget into egg and then coat in bread crumbs. Place on a plate. Refrigerate for 15 minutes

If you make these, leave a comment below and let me know how they turned out. The crumbing process is a bit messy but good fun for children to be involved with. A great rainy day school holiday activity!

I love this story! As a physio, it's always so rewarding to watch someone blossom as they discover the joy of finally finding a sport that they enjoy. So proud of you Cate!

Learning how to navigate social media and the internet safely is an important skill for all of us. Thinking about teaching your children what you wish someone had taught you? The eSafety kids website is a good place to start
