Summer Health Series: Healthy Summer Favorites




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).



  1. Workout tshirts and tank tops - favorites are from Walmart.  Brand is Athletic Works.  $4.96 for the new tanks.  Lightweight, wicking fabric, longer in the back - covers the booty

S6: E127 Mini Soundtrap Project

 Season 6 Episode 127 Mini Soundtrap Project In the last few episodes I’ve shared some Soundtrap lesson ideas that I created and used with students.  Podcasts, Fictional Character Themes, Found Sounds, and Poem with Loops.  Check out the resources provided for each of these lessons in the show notes or on the blog.

S4: E106 What's Next

Season Four Episode 106 What's Next If you listened to any of the reflection episodes that I shared recently - episodes 101-105 to be more specific - you heard me share some ways to reflect on different areas of your life - virtual teaching, summer, focusing on today only, your mental/physical/emotional health, and what’s ahead for fall.  Reflection is important because it helps us see where we’ve been, where we are, and where we want to go.  I’ve finished teaching for this school year and this coming week at work we are finishing the school year out with teacher inservice meetings.  What’s next is several weeks of summer to take time to rest like we might not have ever done before.  Never before have I had a summer that is so wide open with literally not a single item on the calendar - except one possible short trip with my parents, but even that could change depending on what the CDC and the states decide.  Even over this past weekend I struggled int...
