Balance.
It’s one of those words that tends to get overused and under-considered.
But for us, it’s really important. You see, balance has been at the heart of some healthy lifestyle changes we’ve been making in our house.
If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know I’ve started running this year and have found a whole new love for it. I’ve also been more aware of how our family is eating. We consciously eat out less, and really put thought into what we’re choosing to for each meal.
But, and this is a BIG but, we also recognize that while we try hard to make better choices we also still live in a crazy busy house with two kids under three and life just doesn’t always go as we plan. Some days that run we really needed? It doesn’t happen. And sometimes the brand-new healthy recipe we wanted to try? The ingredients don’t make it out of the fridge. That’s life right now, and it’s not going to change in the short term. This sleep deprived, slightly unpredictable, gloriously crazy phase is the season of life that we’re in.
So, we strive for BALANCE. Not every day is perfect, but on the whole, we’re making healthier decisions.
And you know what makes this mama happy? When some of my family’s favourite foods do the thinking for me and make healthy choices soooo easy.
Let’s talk about Kellogg’s for just a minute. Because we probably all know (and love) that Kellogg’s has great tasting, nutritious cereals. And you may even know that Kellogg’s cereals all begin with simple grains – wheat, corn or rice. But what has our family so excited, is that Kellogg’s now has five Sugar Wise™ cereals, that each have simply 1-4g of sugar per serving!
The Sugar Wise™ cereals are some of our family’s favourites: Corn Flakes®, Special K®, Rice Krispies®, Rice Krispies® Brown Rice and Crispix®, and now they have a big old’ blue Sugar Wise™ logo on the pack to let us know quickly that we’re making good decisions.
So, when things go sideways this week (because you know they will)? Cereal for dinner. Because balance.
