Mom's Notes August / September Edition by TwoRedPens

6 WAYS to get healthy,

without exercising!

Dancing Ever tried serious swing dancing? You’ll be sweating within ten minutes. How about dancing with your friends at a house party? You’d be surprised what you can do that will elevate your heart rate like dancing does.

Gardening There’s something to be said for old-fashioned outdoor manual labour. It makes you feel accomplished and connects you to nature. Get some exercise while getting your garden in shape for the new season. Tasks like raking leaves, mowing the grass

Clean House game of it. See how much you accomplish with a single song playing. Dance around while you are doing it.

Laugh Laughter is fundamentally a physical action. Laughter involves the repeated, forceful exhalation of breath from the lungs. The muscles of the diaphragm have to work very hard. We’ve all heard the phrase “laugh until it hurts.” That pain isn’t metaphoric; prolonged laughing can be painful and exhausting.

Picnic in the park Invite friends to the park for lunch. Pack a picnic and invite some friends out for a day in the park. The fresh air, walk to the table and lots of laughter is not only good for your soul, but good for your body as well.

Play Music Did you know playing the violin for an hour burns about as many calories as walking around a track at a moderate pace for an hour? If you play the guitar or drums it has the same effect. It turns out our brains can burn boatloads of calories too. So challenge your brain!

Gabriel

- strong man of God

Published by TwoRedPens | www.tworedpens.co.za

MY MY

group of us from our congregation, Pneuma Ministries, were part of an outreach to Nelsville where we visited Betties Haven. We went to give the children food, toys and just to spend some time with them. Little did Jacques and I know that on this outreach God’s plan wasn’t just for us to drop something off but rather for us to ‘pick someone up’. The little boy soon woke up and when we got to hold him there was an immediate divine connection. We got lost in his giant brown eyes and from that moment on there was no looking back, he became our little Gabriel. We are now in the process of adopting him (we are currently fostering him and awaiting a court date for the adoption process to start). Unlike most mothers that have a 9 month ‘heads-up’ in order to prepare for baby’s arrival, this was a rather different scenario. Our friends and family all jumped in to get all the necessities in order to welcome Gabriel home. He isn’t just our baby but the whole of Pneuma’s baby as all ladies fight over who gets to hold and play with him each Sunday. Life has changed drastically for us in the last 3 months… from washing bottles, to changing diapers, Photography by Monique Smiles Photography moniquesmilesphotos@gmail.com | 074 432 6754

from singing nursery rhymes to scheduling routines and play times. My poor washing machine is never off and I have never seen so much ironing in my life! But the one thing that I can’t complain about is our precious little Gabriel… He really is sent to us from heaven! He sleeps the night through and has 2 naps during the day. He went through minor teething and nothing in comparison of what I heard the other mommies warning me about. I am grateful to have received advice from all the mommies I know. People just can’t get over what a good little baby he is… for us he is the one in a million! Jacques, being in the line of work that he is in, did receive a few raised eyebrows due to the colour barrier from both white people and black people but once they heard Gabriel’s story and where he came from, they embraced him wholeheartedly and then to them colour didn’t matter. We believe that even though Gabriel can’t fully speak yet, he is sending out a message loud and clear that its time for unity in our nation… for us to stop with any pre-conceived ideas or racial generalisations on either side of the racial boundary – if we don’t choose to make a change then who will?
