Step 2 it Challenge!!!

Fitness Friday!!! 
Get Your Kids Moving MAY Series... 

 After scoring some pedometers at the Dollar Tree store I thought I would concoct a fun little competition for my family! A Step 2 IT Challenge! Each family member was outfitted with their own pedometer. Prior to the competition we as a family sat down and discussed what the terms should be for the winner and the loser each day. After much discussion we decided that the family member with the most steps would get to pick out what we were having for dinner the next night. And the family member with the least amount of steps would have to set the table for dinner the next night (since the steps are not counted until bedtime). Have fun with this make up your terms!!! With the rules being outlined and set up. My kids were super excited and were talking about ways they could squeeze in extra steps to win. It was a riot.
We had a blast!!! Although dollar store pedometers were not my best idea, they tend to reset very easily (which caused some tears). Overall they worked fairly well for being a buck! So I'm on the look out for inexpensive pedometers that work better then the Dollar Store ones! It was a great way to keep my kids moving and aware of how much they were moving. It was an excellent exercise and we had a blast with it as a family!!!  So will your family take on the STEP 2 IT Challenge?!?!? Let me know! I would love to hear from you and how your family took on this fun challenge!!!.

After the daily totals Morgan picked Spaghetti for dinner and Karla (a family friend) will be setting the table!!

Grapetastic Salad

Whip It Up Wednesday!!!!

I love that we are approaching BBQ season!!! My husband and I love entertaining and having people over for a great meal, especially a BBQ. So for the next bit I will be sharing ALL my go to BBQ recipes that impress!!! A couple of years ago my sister had a birthday party catered and they served this salad that in my humble opinion was one of the most unique and refreshing summer salads I had ever tried. The caterer was pretty amazing and everything was delicious but EVERYONE was talking about the grape salad. It was a HUGE hit!! I was lucky enough for the caterer to share her secret recipe with me!! Peeps this salad is AWESOME!! Every time I have served it, people rave and rave about it and the best part it is SOOOO easy!!!

Graptastic Salad
Adapted from the amazing talents of Caterer Aubrey

Approx 4lbs Red Grapes
1 8 oz Sour Cream
1 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened
1 C Sugar
1 TBS Vanilla

* To toast Pecans place on cookie sheet in oven at 350 degrees for 10 -12 minutes keep a close eye on them so they do not burn.

Make it Monday!!! 

With Father's day fast approaching I thought I would actually be ahead of the ball for once in my life!! My cute hubs loves golf!!  He really deserves a great present, he is an amazing  Dad! He is my right hand man when it comes to helping me be a successful blogger. There are few husbands that will take off work so that you can attend a four day blog conference. I am still in his debt ;).  So I thought I'd spoil him this year and get him a golf pass for Father's Day! Like I mentioned before he deserves it! So I thought I'd share my cute idea and printable I created to help "church" up the pass before I hand it over on Father's Day!! I made two different ones.. Which one do you like best?!?! 

Dear  Kelly I'm sure you'll see this prior to Father's Day cuz you're a great husband and you follow my blog, facebook, and pinterest accounts so try and act surprised!!! Love You!!! <3 Andie 

You can print out these cuties HERE

Marathon A Month Challenge!!!

Get Your Kids Moving MAY Series!!

I'm excited to share with you another idea to help get your kids up and moving this summer! I love challenges and I do so much better when I am held accountable. So with that, I thought it would be fun to concoct a little challenge for my kids. I wanted them to learn to work hard to achieve a goal by working at it a little each day! Drum Roll Please...  So I came up with the Marathon A Month Challenge!! Each Day they will work on their miles to complete the goal of 26.2 Miles logged each month!!! The miles can be completed via biking, hiking, running, swimming, skating or walking! All great ways to get exercise! I plan on getting our whole family involved by going on family hikes and bike rides to help us meet our goal of 26.2 Miles each month!! What a great sense of pride for your kids will feel, when they say they completed 3 marathons during the summer!!! They will be total ROCK STARS!!! Do the challenge for one month or two or three!!! To make your life a little easier I have created super fun printables to help keep track of your miles logged!! (One for each month!) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear from you and how your family is meeting the challenge!!! 

To add a little extra incentive you could come up with prizes for each month they have completed! I also created a certificate of completion that you can print out and present to your children as an AWARD!!!
