Day 31: A Guinness World Record and a GIVEAWAY!

Whew! We've made it to our last day of the 31 Days of Summer Series! It has been a long, fun run, and we hope you've gathered some great activities and recipes to do and share with your family. We also hope this summer has been good to you, and refreshing in the same.

To end this series, here's a fun fact:

Yesterday, August 30, 2012, Thailand, known as the massage capital of the world, claimed a Guinness World Record. They did so, with 641 massage therapists massaging 641 people simultaneously for 12 minutes at an indoor facility in Bangkok.

I just heard a collective sigh through the interwebs.

Day 30: Be Adventurous This Labor Day Weekend

Earlier this summer, I made a list of things I wanted to do this summer. Some were tradition like berry picking, making jam and growing a garden, while others were new and adventurous ideas like go rock climbing and attend a hot air balloon festival. As the days have flown by, and the weather begins to turn, I'm scrambling to do a few last things before the chance is lost.

Such things on that list are camping, river rock jumping (mini-river rock jumping--which is a brave act for me), visit a flower farm, and sadly, many more that I haven't yet found the time to do. Do you still have a small list of things you want to do before the leaves turn and the rain begins to fall?

I'm curious. What haven't you done, yet?

And will you be adventurous enough to tackle any of them

this Labor Day Weekend?

Be safe this weekend,

Cassie

Day 29: Overnight Oats

We all know how busy life becomes when the school year begins. Multiply that for each child you have, and compound it with sports and other extra-curricular activities. Time is of the essence!

Starting your day off with a healthy breakfast fuels your mind and gives proper nutrients to your body to sustain energy levels. Why not try overnight oats? Throw them together in the evening--in a jar, Tupperware, a mug, put them into the refrigerator and let the ingredients seep into delicious goodness overnight. The perfect no-hassle, healthy breakfast. High in fiber, protein and calcium and low in fat and sugar, too.

The blog, Kath Eats Real Food, has a long list of combinations for delicious overnight oats. For starters, here's her basic recipe.

Basic KERF Recipe

Kath Eats Real Food

1/3 cup rolled oats

1/3 – 1/2 cup milk [depending on how thick you like it]

1/3 cup plain yogurt

1/2 banana

1/2 tbsp chia seeds--a great source of Omega-3's

Pinch salt

Pinch cinnamon

Directions

Stir everything together in a bowl. Place in fridge overnight. In the morning top with something crunchy and something with healthy fats – like nut butter or nuts.
