FREE Kindermusik Classes

Kindermusik

Immediate question: WHAT IS KINDERMUSIK?

Here’s the rundown:

  • Kindermusik is a class for children newborn up to 18 months old. You can search for Kindermusik classes near you here. You can find individual teachers here.
  • Class activities depend on your child’s age but most classes involve a mix of singing, instrument play, dancing, movement, storytime, and other activities to develop and strengthen your child’s physical and neural functions, social-emotional skills, early literacy, early math, and more
  • Kindermusik firmly believes that a solid foundation of basic musical training at a young age is the best path for children. Instruction begins with basic, essential concepts like steady beats and motor skills.
  • You attend classes with your child
  • And here’s where you guys come in – you can try a free class before you join to make sure that this is something you’re interested in for your child before you pay for the real deal.

Benefits of Kindermusik include those that are social/emotional, it assists with language and literacy, cognitive functions, a long term interest in music, and physical.

I think this sounds like an awesome idea – and honestly, I wish this was around when I had children this young. If nothing else, this is a fun activity to do with your baby that you can feel good about – a great foundation for positive habits.

FREE Sample of Hemp Seeds!

Hemp_ Seeds

Happy Friday!

Yesterday, I blogged about the health benefits of coconut oil, and today I have another health-forward sample for you – hemp seeds!

Hemp seeds are said to be the most nutritious seed in the world, as they are a complete protein. They have the most concentrated balance of proteins, essential fats, vitamins, and enzymes combined with a relative absence of sugar, starches, and saturated fats. They are a superfood!

Raw hemp provides a broad spectrum of health benefits including:

  • Weight loss
  • Increased and sustained energy
  • Rapid recovery from disease or injury
  • Lowered cholesterol and blood pressure
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Improvement in circulation and immune system
  • Blood sugar control

They’re a highly digestible protein – unlike meat, whole eggs, cheese, human milk, cow’s milk, etc. and can also be eaten by those who are nut, gluten, lactose or sugar intolerant. They are allergy free!

Hemp seeds are super versatile and can be eaten in a variety of ways. Top ways? Sprinkling a spoonful or two into smoothies or on top of cereal, salads, or yogurt.

On to why I’m blabbering on about hemp seeds…

FREE SAMPLE! If you’re interested in trying before you buy, you can get a free sample by simply filling out a form and deciding between two hemp seed products from Manitoba Harvest: Hemp Hearts (easy snacking!) or Hemp Pro 70 (comes in 3 different flavors! Perfect for smoothies) – check them out!

FREE Coconut Oil Gift Box!

Happy Thursday, Everyone!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard some buzz about the craze that is coconut oil. Coconut oil is considered to be a superfood and has a track record of very profound positive effects on health due to the unique combo of fatty acids.

Here’s some health benefits of coconut oil, just in case you didn’t know already!

  1. Fatty acids in coconut oil are metabolized differently and go straight to the liver from the digestive tract, where they’re used as a quick source energy — this can have therapeutic effects on brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.
  2. It helps you burn more fat! In science-speak, the medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil has been shown to increase 24-hour expenditure by as much as 5% – leading to significant weight loss over long term.
  3. Coconut oil can battle infections and bacteria, like viruses and fungi inside of your body.
  4. It’s an appetite reducer! Studies have shown that people who regularly eat coconut oil will eat significantly fewer calories over the course of a day.
  5. Coconut oil can improve blood cholesterol levels and thus lowers the risk of heart disease.
  6. Coconut oil protects your hair and skin! Not only does this product help you on the inside, but on the oitside too. Coconut oil defends against hair damage and can work as a sunscreen and moisturizer.
  7. Some like to use coconut oil as a mouthwash of sorts. This is called oil pulling, and kills harmful bacteria in the mouth, improves dental health, and reduces bad breath.
