I’ve been taking a class at my gym lately that is a mixture of pilates, tai chi, and yoga. My favorite part of the class is when we work on balance.

One Magical Family Dinner
Dinner time with a toddler (in my house) is often challenging…There’s the fight to get her to sit at the dinner table… The fight to get her to try her dinner….
