It all starts with you! Even if you have not chosen the healthiest habits for yourself and kids, today is your sign to start. We are the first role model our children see, if they see us choosing an apple instead of chips for a snack they will likely want to do the same. I know as busy parents we are quick to throw out commands and expect our kids to just do them. But if you want your kids to like, be engaged, and want to try something new, then you have got to get up and do it with them!

The topic of raising self-sufficient kids is a constant conversation in our home of 6 plus Omega (our latest edition). And it was, before having our twins who are now 4. I honestly think many parents this decade lack the patience to help their children problem solve issues and this is a beginning step of helping them become self-sufficient.

So many times we become accustomed to our daily habits which in turn leads to living a mediocre life. It can go on for weeks, months, heck even years. But ambition keeps us constantly evolving, always searching for more.
