Finding Time to Exercise
Exercising is important and necessary; so is eating healthy and being fit. Most evidence suggests, however, that about half of adult Americans do not follow the most highly recommended guidelines, which are to do moderate-intense exercise for at least 30 minutes a date most days of the week. About a quarter of American adults are saying they devote no time at all to exercising.
Health and Exercise for Busy Individuals
Workdays are long, commutes are longer, and list of home responsibilities are seemingly endless. There are many small things that we can do during the day to get better to incorporate more healthy habits into the day.
The idea is to be organized and well-planned with how every minute of the day is spent (build efficiency) and implement systems that can change our daily routines for the better.

12 Steps to Planning and Organizing a Vacation or Getaway
Each year, thousands of people skip out on vacations because they don’t have an organized system for it.
It’s such a stressful process for them that they would rather not do it at all. Some people go to the same place year after year after year because they have that one system down pat. Any other trip would seem highly stressful and the unknowns would not even let them take the first step toward achieving their travel goals and plans.
I have come to find that for a lot of folks, the stress of doing something they have not done before is too great to even try it. This was definitely the case with me; I used to be so afraid of the process of traveling, especially with kids. Once I learned to overcome the fear by being super organized with the process, we started exploring destinations!
We are afraid of the unknown – and going somewhere outside of your comfort zone – your home, can be scary.

12 Steps to Planning and Organizing a Vacation or Getaway
Questions
· Do you have someone in your life who is graduating soon?
· Do you want to help recognize and celebrate their big moment?
· Are you on a tight budget because you have too many other obligations you need to pay for right now?
The Problem
When we celebrate graduations, we are acknowledging the work and effort a person has had to undergo to achieve academic success. Whether it’s a middle school promotion, a high school graduation, or college graduation, it’s nice to acknowledge people we care about, in some way, for their accomplishment.
The problem is graduation celebrations can be expensive and stressful to plan. We want to buy amazing gifts for the graduate, and we want to plan big, elaborate celebrations.

Could you use some help with chores around the house from your kids?

If you answered YES to these questions, read this article for helpful tips and ideas.
Introduction
Kids should help around the home with chores as they get older to help them develop important life skills and to contribute to the home. There are many benefits to doing chores, including:
Learning responsibility
Learning self-reliance
Contributing to a team
Learning about delayed gratification Increased confidence
Better time management
There is evidence to suggest that chores help kids in a variety of ways to develop lifelong skills that can help them in college, careers, and beyond. As parents, we must select chores that are not too difficult and that are age-appropriate. The chores need to be divided fairly so the child does not feel that he or she has more to do than others around the home. Also, chores cannot be so time-consuming that they are taking away from schoolwork or other obligations.

25 Low-Cost Gift Ideas for Educators to Show Appreciation
When we drop off our children at school, we know they are in good hands, learning, growing, developing, and staying safe with their teachers, administrators, and support staff. Whether they are in grade school or high school, as parents, we appreciate the educators who pour their heart and soul into their jobs. Oftentimes, teachers are overworked and underpaid. Showing them appreciation through some low-cost or budget gifts a few times a year will help give them the extra motivation and gratitude they deserve. It means a lot to them to know how much not just their students appreciate them, but their parents also. Teachers can change kids' lives and make a true difference in the lives of others.
