My Team 4all submission!
A competitive swimmer until age 16, and a long distance runner in high school, I struggled with maintaining a healthy lifestyle once the routine of scheduled practices (and parents who will drive you there and then cook healthy dinners for you) came to an end. The years after high school were marked with inconsistent exercise [...]

With 4 little boys, keeping them healthy is no walk in the park. William’s in kindergarten. Alexander’s in preschool. Benjamin’s in preschool.

With four young boys, meal time can get a little messy. On a good day, 75% of their food makes it into their mouths. Though we’ve yet to encounter a full fledged food fight, looking at their seats or the floor, one couldn’t tell. On top of that, Alex and Benjamin have taken to tilting [...]
