Learn about Laraballs!
.JPG)
These are yummy homemade, no-bake cookies are similar to the awesome product called Larabars!
Super-NUTRITIOUS snacks: filled with fiber, protein, healthy fat, high-energy carbohydrate source, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals!
Most recipes contain NO sugar!
The only times there is sugar are in recipes with dried fruit that you cannot find unsweetened, such as is the case sometimes with cherries and cranberries. In Laraball recipes, these berries are combined with another unsweetened dried fruit to minimize the amount of sugar. Sweetening of these berries is COMPLETELY unnecessary in these recipes -- but it's difficult to find some dried fruits unsweetened -- BOO WHO! Please TELL ME if and where you find some!

Always Gluten-FREE!
Most recipes make 12-16 one-inch Laraballs, or you can shape them however you like!
Nutrition information: each Laraball has on average 40-50 calories, 1-2g protein, 2g HEALTHY fat, and 4-5g carbs, including 1-2g fiber.
If you prefer CRUNCHY to chewy, try baking your favorite flavor. Just add 1/2 c rolled oats to the recipe. Bake at 375 degrees, 15-20 min. The longer you bake them, the crunchier they'll get!
Here are some tasty favors:

Go on Autopilot!
With ROUTINES-- these seem to be a common theme of many organizational suggestions. I used to think that it was overkill to set up a list of things you want to do each morning or evening, and that it would be tough to do all those things regularly.
Really, it’s just the opposite, once it is all set up, you have great habits, and you don’t even have to try to think of everything that needs to get done, you’ll do it on autopilot.
You should always do all of the things on your list. After all, you create the list based on YOUR life and YOUR needs. It’s a funny cycle, but it makes sense. You know “bad” habits are hard to break, well actually “habits” are hard to break, so get some good habits, and you’ll be set!

Simply make a checklist of each thing you should do before bed, then do them nightly.
Here is an example:
Pack lunches for tomorrow.
Straighten up kitchen.
Get clothes and other school stuff ready for tomorrow.
Go over calendar.
Pick your most important things (MITs) for tomorrow.
Straighten up bedroom.
Get ready for bed.
Read.
Lights out for sleep.
Enjoy not thinking about this part of your day -- go on autopilot!

Childhood Obesity and Healthy Eating for Infants and Children
Your physician has finally said those dreaded words, "Your child is obese." While it may sound scary, it's better to know now and make changes for which your child will one day thank you. Children pick up habits, good and bad, that last a lifetime. The results may not be seen for decades, but they will certainly not go without eventual consequences. Sadly, many of today's children are at serious risk for various diseases previously unseen in children. The good news is that kids adapt quite easily; that is, they are better than us at changing!
Working with me, you will learn the ways and whys of how to improve the overall quality of life of your whole family. Often getting moving is the most important factor, though this is more easily said than done. We'll work from the root of the problem.
