〰〰〰〰 Moments like this. Gentle reminders to slow down. Snow storms, a full moon, traffic, adjusting to the cold and darkness....some things are just beyond your control. Use the force to appreciate the little things. 〰〰〰〰 Research shows that sitting down for a meal is great for the brain, the body and the spirit. Turning off the tv to sit down and share meals with your kids promotes great habits. Plus it's a good time to chat and to consciously eat. 〰〰〰〰 Soups, chilis, stews....the cozy meals that are perfectly shareable. What's your favourite recipe? 〰〰〰〰 #hamont #soupseason #doulajessthomson #sharingiscaring #postpartum #doula #postpartumdoula #slowcookerwins #burnttongue #momshamilton #inspiremotherhood #amomentlikethis #winteriscoming #lifeincanada #asafamily
