"We are so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are," said the great philosopher, Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes). Sure, he was flying down a hill in his little red wagon when he said it, but it applies to our lives as well.

Life can feel like a race to meet all our responsibilities and get through the day. It can take the joy out of life if we are not able to slow down and be present in the current moment. You may be laughing at this, thinking, “You don’t know my life.”

However, slowing down does not mean that you have to go through your life at a snail's pace. It simply means that you pause from time to time to draw your attention to the present. Taking small breaks when you can is valuable, too.

Mindfulness is a tool you can use to bring calm into your life as you navigate a society that prioritizes speed, productivity, and goals. It is a counterbalance that eases anxiety, depression, burnout, and disconnection.

Let’s look at how you can use it as a remedy to our “what’s next” culture in this week's blog, "Moments of Peace."

Hoping you have intentional moments this weekend. Even if you are busy doing things for others, take a minute to center yourself. Notice the sun on your face or the wind in your hair. Sit down, even for a little while, to eat a meal. Turn on your favorite song as you drive in the car; take a few deep breaths at a stoplight. If all else fails, take an extra minute to close your eyes after going to the washroom.

Okay, here’s a wild fact: when astronauts first landed on the moon, they left behind four bags of p**p. So, human waste is literally part of our space legacy.

As natural as it is, we don't talk about p**p often. Some people believe that's because our brains evolved to be grossed out by p**p - it helped keep us safe from disease.

While there are benefits to this disgust, a lack of openness can leave us wondering if what we are experiencing is normal. This may cause us to miss important messages the body is giving.

Pooping is one of the most honest things our body does - it doesn’t lie and it doesn’t sugarcoat messages. The frequency, consistency, and color of our p**p are great indicators of our digestive health, which has a tremendous impact on our overall health.

So, let’s shake the awkwardness of the conversation in this week's blog, "Eww Gross!!!"

It’s not normal to have pain or muscle tension throughout your pregnancy!

Chiropractic adjustments and Active Release Techniques (ART) can help alleviate pain and prepare your body for childbirth. For those who are not in pain, chiropractic care supports healthy nervous system function.

As your body comes into alignment, your nervous system can function more effectively. This opens up the pathways for optimal communication in your body and is a valuable part of your preconception, prenatal, and postnatal treatment.

The Webster Technique is a specific assessment and chiropractic adjustment meant to balance the bony and ligamentous structures of the pelvis and sacrum. It is used on pregnant women throughout pregnancy to prepare them for a safer and easier birth.

Ideally, these adjustments would begin as soon as pregnancy starts, or even during the preconception period! However, it is never too late to begin. You can still benefit from these assessments and adjustments at any time in your pregnancy.

The Mealime app has been a game-changer for my family. It helps make meal planning, grocery shopping, and getting dinner on the table so much easier. You can pay for extra recipes, but even the free version is great.

When you first sign up, you can choose food preferences and indicate foods you want to avoid. Then you set it up for 2, 4, or 6 servings of each meal. We choose 6, which typically gets us dinner for the whole family, plus an extra lunch serving for Jared and me.

After selecting from the suggested recipes, Mealime creates your meal plan and provides a grocery list of everything you will need to cook your meals. The grocery list is incredibly user-friendly. You can check off items that you already have, and check off items as they are added to the cart.

We haven't used this feature, but it is integrated with multiple online shopping options. It provides you with options for the ingredients you need. You choose the exact product/brand you want. Then, you can choose to drive up or delivery.

Jared and I both have the app on our phones and log in under my account. This way, we can each select meals, access the shopping list, and see the recipes. And, either one of us can cook the meal depending on what works best on a given night.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love - Brene Brown

You deserve to be spoken to kindly, both by others and yourself! So check your inner dialogue. Ask yourself if you would tell a loved one what you tell yourself!

Long before treadmills and fitness trackers, movement was simply a part of life. Our ancestors didn’t schedule workouts; they moved throughout their days with purpose. Whether they were sprinting to catch dinner, hauling water from the stream, or building shelters, their bodies stayed strong because movement was an integral part of everyday survival.

Fast forward to now, and we can still see this instinct towards movement - just watch any child for five minutes. They jump, spin, squirm, and sprint like movement is their favorite language. That kind of playful, unstructured motion is the foundation for growing bodies. But here’s the truth: we adults could benefit from reclaiming that natural approach to movement, too.

Let's reimagine movement in this week's blog, "Moving Like We were Meant to."

Getting ready for school can be exciting… and overwhelming. Emotions may run high for both parents and children while shopping for supplies, planning meals, and adjusting routines. Just knowing this can make a difference; if we expect it to be hard, we can give a little more grace.

A parent's calm can help set the tone, especially if your child is not so excited to go back to school. Kids will sense your stress, so it's essential to remember to care for your own needs as well as theirs. Take breaks when you can if you are feeling overwhelmed.

Be sure to accept their feelings without trying to cheer them up or get them to look on the bright side. It might not feel like you are doing anything, but sometimes just listening with an empathetic ear is what kids need most.

Let’s look at some practical ways to minimize your stress and set your family up for success in this week's blog, "Got a Child Heading Back-to-School?"
