Mommy & Me Classes at the Dailey Method

The flyer says “crying is normal here,” and I kind of wish that it was normal without your baby, because since I haven’t yet tried the Dailey Method I am sure that my first class will have me in tears.

But that’s just me. I have friends who LOVE the Dailey Method and so I am intrigued enough to try it. Obviously I am a glutton for punishment because I keep taking these sample workout classes (so I can tell you about them) and since I don’t make time to work out on a regular basis, it’s like starting from scratch every time.

The Dailey Method is described as an “efficient full-body workout which combines ballet barre work, core conditioning and strength training sculpts, tones and lengthens muscles in an efficient one-hour class.” In the baby classes, starting this September, the workout is adapted to be effective while you are wearing your baby! How cool is that?

Bike Back to School – Totally Do-able in Agoura Hills

My kids ride their bikes to school, and it’s the most wonderful thing. On days when they don’t have an after-school activity, they burst in the front door around 2:45 PM, yelling “Hi, Mom!” (or fighting with each other, more likely). I don’t have to rush out the door to get them to school on time, or sit in a hot sunny pick-up line of other cars, or jockey for a parking space. It’s all very suburban and old-fashioned.

That was the whole point of moving here.

If your kids are old enough to ride their bikes to school, with or without a parent riding along, you should encourage them to do it! Besides being incredibly convenient for you, it’s also good for them. Check out this infographic that shows results of a study by People For Bikes about bicycling in the US:
