Healthy, Happy Summer Tips: Kids, Picnics, Traveling & More!
Summer is upon us and that can mean a lot of challenges for families, like how to keep the kids busy and keep eating healthy. In this podcast, we’ll give you tips on how to have a healthy and happy summer. Mama Z shares activities we do with the kids – indoors and out, including the importance of community outreach. We talk about the nontoxic sunscreen and avoiding the temptation of unhealthy foods. We also share how the 5 “Ps” help us stay healthy and focused on fun & family when we travel. Mama Z “unpacks” tips for packing and organizing for summer travel, including how to travel with food, so you can stick to a healthy diet all year long. We share our own experiences traveling with food & family, including how to keep the kids occupied for long car trips and unexpected delays. Finally, we provide you the recipe for Dr. Z’s Bug Bite Balm and DEET-free bug spray, right out of our book, The Healing Power of Essential Oils.
