Tuesday April 14. Set your Routine for the School area in your home. I have a friend who set hers up at her Dining Room table.

-

set up a weekly schedule that works for your family
ideas/sample
A Schedule for each day. Set up by age appropriateness.
Date, Schedule for day. Organizational area: papers to do and hand in. Projects to work on. Current Events. Math, Science, Music, Physical Education, Language Arts, History. Use current events and your Kid's Schedule from this year to set up and follow. Use communication from their teachers to complete your model. Set up an email chain with all their teachers.



















Routine is important.


Quotes were something a friend brought to my attention when our kids were in First Grade. She had a clipboard and would add a quote every morning for her kids to see before leaving for school. I adopted this practice and use them to this day.

Each has a different tonal colour, or “timbre”, which gives them their own unique characteristic sound. This is how we can naturally tell them apart when listening to music. As you develop as a singer, it is important to listen more analytically to the timbres, and therefore the pitches of different instruments, and how to tune your voice to each of them. https://www.musical-u.com/learn/...

Tuesday 6/15 My Background is in Communications, This piece is a beautiful story selling a tough old American Brand. And I relate because at the beginning of Quarantine, I bought a pair of Work pants and hiking shoes and have worn them almost everyday.  They have stains, rips, a bleach spot, paint and my life displayed on them, and the story Jason tells is a beautiful. I didn't really know about Jason until I watched this. https://youtu.be/zL7SobTAnuQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa This sums up Quarantine in a profound way for me. He embraces life and family. Ohana. This movie is worth the time it takes to watch. American and authentic. You may like this one too.

Friday 5/29 Weighing in: Nutrition, body image, and finding balance as a female athlete https://cyclingtips.com/2018/04/weighing-in-nutrition-body-image-and-finding-balance-as-a-female-athlete/ As a Mom of Girls I have seen two healthy girls with healthy outlooks on body image struggle with body image occasionally. I also struggled with this as an athlete in High School and College. I kept a food diary and exercise log. Both excellent ways to tune into your wellness.  This is good on Balance. Food is Fuel. I never weighed myself during high school and tried to maintain a diet very similar to before I became a serious cyclist. I stayed pretty healthy, but as I continued to make progress in my cycling career, I knew I wasn’t optimizing my diet for what I was asking my body to do. Becoming more engaged with my nutrition was initially driven by a desire to train harder. As my training load steadily increased, my diet hadn’t changed dramatically. I was still eating simil...
