healthy habits for the new year!

The New Year is the perfect time to set family goals and embrace simple, healthy habits that make a big difference. From balanced meals to active play, we’ve got tips to help your family thrive. Let’s make 2025 your healthiest and happiest year yet!

  • Prioritize Active Play and Exercise

    Resolution: "We'll move together every day!"


    Engage in family walks, dance-offs, or fun sports. Consider weekly "movement challenges" to make it exciting.

  • Plan Balanced Meals Together

    Resolution: "We’ll cook and eat as a family!"


    Involve kids in meal planning and prepping. Focus on including fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins in every meal. Try out something new for your picky eaters and you might just find a new favorite!

  • Create a Regular Sleep Routine

    Resolution: "We’ll aim for bedtime consistency!"


    Ensure everyone gets the recommended amount of sleep by setting a family wind-down schedule and creating a calming bedtime routine.

  • Practice Mindfulness and Gratitude

    Resolution: "We’ll reflect on what we’re thankful for daily!"


    Encourage journaling, family gratitude jars, or short meditation sessions.

  • Limit Screen Time

    Resolution: "We’ll unplug during family time!"


    Create tech-free zones, especially during meals, and encourage outdoor play or reading instead.

  • Get Organized and Declutter

    Resolution: "We’ll simplify our home!"


    Tackle one room or area each week. Encourage kids to donate toys they no longer use.

  • Reduce Food Waste

    Resolution: "We’ll plan meals and save leftovers!"


    Teach kids about sustainability by involving them in grocery planning and creative ways to use leftovers. Pack yesterday's dinner in a thermal for a delicious warm lunch!

  • Embrace Learning Together

    Resolution: "We’ll learn something new as a family!"


    Choose a skill or hobby, like baking, gardening, reading, or a new language, to explore together.

  • Spend One-on-One Time

    Resolution: "We’ll make time for each other individually!"


    Set up parent-child dates or sibling bonding activities to strengthen individual connections.
