A few cool things to note...
| | 1. Mommy Movement, a fitness, weight loss and strengthening post-partum group training program specifically designed for moms from 6 weeks to 3 years of having a baby, will begin a new session Monday, March 14th.
2. The Biggest Winner Ultimate Thinner Program is a 6wk accountability program that runs through Lent and kicks off on March 14th. The team that loses the greatest percentage of weight wins $2500 in cash. This is a great way for couples, families, and offices to help support each other to succeed in losing weight before summer!
3. I just stumbled upon the adorable venue La Petite Tea Room that specialize in elegant tea parties complete with stylish dress-up for fashionistas ages 3 and up.
4. Last week there were some twitter moms chatting about local art programs for kids. A number of moms recommended City Park Movement & Art, which offers Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Acrobatics, Creative Movement, Yoga, Pilates, Art Classes, Summer Day Camp, Kids Nights, Art Parties, and Birthday Parties. I found their website to be authentic, community-loving, sweet and genuine. Can't wait to check it out in person.
5. A nolaGRANDParent is hosting a birthday party for her 10yo granddaughter. To help her with ideas, some nolaParents offered up some great suggestions via the nolaP Facebook page. And since we're on the topic of birthdays, there are some great recommendations for personalized gift cards as well!

Mommy Movement Tip #4: Avoid a Plateau
| |  Now that you've set yourself up for success, built up your aerobic base and given yourself permission to make time for your workouts, it's time to learn how to maximize the benefits! Now, change the intensity of your workouts every 2 weeks. You'll notice that your heart rate decreases as your body adapts to your workouts. When this happens, it means your body is ready for you to "raise the bar."
