We like to move it, move it!

On to the Vault and the Foam Pit

Star Jump in action!

I have been thinking a lot lately about raising girls.  Today as we were at our weekly gymnastics class, which the girls are really enjoying, and I was thinking about the importance of my daughters self-esteem, self-worth and sense of self-confidence.  I was thinking about all the messages people get from society about their bodies, and the messages directed at girls and women in general.  I try really hard to send the message that our bodies are ours to define and to take care of.  I also intend to send the message that most important is how your body moves and takes you through the life you want to lead.  Does your body let you run, jump, dance, play, sleep, eat and love they way you want to live your life?  If the answer is yes, than what it looks like is not important.  I am trying to counter all the messages we receive that only focus on a body's worth based on how it looks.  I want to focus on how your body helps you live - live the life you want to live.

I love my babies (growing up as they are!) and hope I can help them to love themselves and the body they were born with.  It is nice to have these moments of mindfulness and thought, I am grateful, for my daughters health and our dedication to wellness.  The front rolls are also looking great! Get out and enjoy the day!
