Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Healthy Living is important not only for our kids but for your own future well-being.

Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
My friend Renee is my role model for healthy living. She always has the right answer and she’s always willing to help. Avoiding additives and consuming real food is her way of living and I am working my way toward adopting her style.

What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?
Oatmeal with yogurt and berries has always been my go-to! My kids love it and it gives them some great nutrients.

Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
Take it slow; you don’t have to change everything at once! Change one thing a week or even a month.

Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
Junk food like chips and candy. It just isn’t needed in our home and we don’t ever buy it. If you don’t buy it, you won’t be tempted to eat it!

In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?
Getting the right about of sleep is so important for a healthy life. I always aim for at least 7 hours of sleep a night, and 8 for my kids.

What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?
I love the Cherry Guava Blueberry because it is so refreshing and it tastes great!
