Hello friends!  In today’s episode I’m going to share some of my summer healthy favorites.  Everything from food to workout tops to books to fun activities I enjoy doing with my kids.  So let’s jump in!



  1. Kodiak Protein Packed Oatmeal - Chocolate Chip, Maple and Brown Sugar, Strawberry, Blueberry, Peaches and Cream, Cinnamon.  Great to pair with a banana or blueberries.  Has 12 grams of protein per serving - compared to only 4 grams in the Quaker Oats version.  Both have quite a bit of carbs (33g for Quaker and 31g for Kodiak).

Recorder: What to do with Hot Cross Buns

Hot Cross Buns... it might be the bane of your existence, a song to start with students with B-A-G on the recorders that really doesn't affect you one way or the other, or a great song to use that is simplistic and gets the job done.  No matter what your feeling on it, it's likely that you've used it because it is effective at teaching simple rhythms, B-A-G and giving students a great starting place when learning recorder.  Personally, I find it useful but I'm honestly tired of it.  I decided to do something new with it this summer and wanted to change it so that it was more musical.  For many days of my summer break I spent time in the morning playing the recorder.  I wrote down melodies I had improvised and liked, played with modes and scales, added unpitched percussion parts/piano/guitar chords and enjoyed seeing what could be done.  Not all of the pieces were very good but it was a great creative way to figure out some solutions for recorder pitch sets, rhythms an
