Dear Timaree: I can't believe that school has started already! Do you have any tips to share to help our family enjoy better health as life seems to be busier than ever?
If your family is anything like ours, life has been crazy and the start of the school year has snuck up on us! So, how do we hit the pause button and begin this school year on the right foot? Start with a very simple but extremely powerful change that can monumentally improve your quality of life: Set morning alarms for everyone in the family 15 minutes earlier!

Hi! Thanks, so are some great ideas. I think setting the alarms early is a particularly useful tip (coincidentally, I started setting my alarm 25 minutes earlier about 6 weeks ago and the extra time is a life saver).
I wanted to offer a free tool for your users who might be interested in some help for starting some new habits; be they getting up earlier, cooking healthier, getting a child involved in helping set up or the morning, etc.
http://www.loopchange.com is a place where people are changing things every day with the help of accountability, encouragement and commitment. If you're trying to change something, this might be worth looking into.
