When was the last time you did something fun?

Something silly, out of character or just plain goofy?

I watched my husband and daughter have a “hat fight” at the mall recently. After whacking each other with their baseball caps for a while, Gracie declared, “Bad parenting!” and laughed wildly (so did Clay!)

Laughter is a great stress reliever; so is taking a step out of your routine. The Busy Woman’s Guide’s favorite new mom, Kim Kotecki, offers 17 Simple & Free Ways to Have Fun Today – including blowing bubbles in your milk! Check it out!

It's great to be reminded to let loose a little and have fun. The kids love it when you do! We had a water fight with the hose on the weekend and it was really fun.

On a more serious note :) Two studies last month found that laughing is good for the heart and for lowering high blood pressure. Check out:

Maybe our Doctors should prescribe laughter with the meds? ha ha!
