When the 2014 Active Healthy Kids Canada report card on physical activity in youth announced that Canada scored a D- after measuring kids activity levels, and confirmed most Canadian kids don’t get the recommended 60 minutes of activity a day, parents, schools and TV programmers took notice.

Looking for solutions to get our kids more active, one network is betting their new TV show is just what kids need to start moving.  That begs the obvious question; can parking the kids in front of the TV inspire them to be more active?  

This was the first year it felt like my kids might be getting too big for hot chocolate on the Santa train, a ride on the horse drawn carriage to Santa village, or the traditional trek to sit on Santa’s lap. So instead, we set out to mark some new traditions.

It can be that easy.  In many ways my energetic friends have shaped who I am (pun intended!).  All I had to do was decide I was going to show up and the adventures have followed.

As a brand new writer for YummyMummyClub, I am thrilled to have a comfy place to share all the fun that goes into raising a house full of daughters and the simple secrets I’ve learned along the way that keep my family healthy, active and outdoors.
