Mother's Day is Sunday...

Are you still looking for those last minute gift ideas?  Here are a few ideas to make this Mother's Day a healthy one! 

~Give her the gift of fruit!!  Whether you create your own fruit basket or you order an arrangement of fruit to resemble a flower bouquet, giving her that sweet gift will put a smile on her face!


~Help her plant her vegetable garden!  Or offer to do some weeding for her when the time comes!!  Helping grow fresh produce will help those healthy goodies become part of a daily menu!!


~Get Active!  Ask her to go for a Mother's Day morning walk, grab your helmets and take a bike ride, go dancing or if it gets a little rainy, play one of the interactive video games that gets people moving, like tennis, boxing, etc.  All it takes to maintain a healthy level of activity is 2 1/2 hours of moderate activity a week!!
