One of the fun things I get to do as a blogger is work with great brands and initiatives. One that I have been thrilled to work with for a few years now is Together Counts. You may have seen some of their posters in your child’s school {I just saw one last week when I had to pick my son up from the nurse’s office… poor guy} and I am always happy to see it. Together Counts teaches kids and families about energy balance. Together Counts is about more than energy balance though, Together Counts promotes the family table, being active together, and realistic goals for busy families.
Our family goals were:
To eat dinner together with no screens and LOTS of fruits and veggies at every meal. I’d give us an A on that one.
To run or walk a fun run together. I’d give us an F for that one. While I ran many races including 4 half marathons I couldn’t get my kids on board. This year I think I will try to make our move together goal, less of what I want to do and something more suited to them!
To take advantage of our yard and be active close to home. Another A. We have played soccer, picked apples, turned over rocks, had races, ran through the sprinkler… But, we don’t take our big yard for granted!
