Workday Wellness

 From Fast Company

Wellness is a thing most people only think about when they’re suddenly unwell. I bet you’ve experienced more than one morning when you couldn’t get out of bed and swore to yourself that you’ll “do better” in taking care of yourself from now on.

Unfortunately, those sickbed declarations don’t actually stick unless you have a game plan to live a healthier life every day. Lucky for you, I’m a wellness expert, and I’ve crafted the perfect 24-hour routine for you to try if you want to feel more energetic, more productive, and healthier:

Will Robots Take Our Children’s Jobs?

Via @New York Times

Like a lot of children, my sons, Toby, 7, and Anton, 4, are obsessed with robots. In the children’s books they devour at bedtime, happy, helpful robots pop up more often than even dragons or dinosaurs. The other day I asked Toby why children like robots so much.

“Because they work for you,” he said.

What I didn’t have the heart to tell him is, someday he might work for them — or, I fear, might not work at all, because of them.

How To Get The Little Ones To Sleep on Christmas Eve

Via ( Goop)

Getting kids to bed on a regular night is tough, but on the evenings before big events—Christmas, birthdays, the first day of school—it’s pretty much impossible. Osteopath Vicky Vlachonis can lull even the most wired little one to sleep, and so we asked her for some tips.

The Top Six Cocoa Brands

For those cold nights ahead! Via Kitchen

There are few things more comforting on a cold winter day than a warm mug of hot cocoa; it’s like a hug from the inside out. Hot cocoa is the kind of sweet drink that can spark memories from childhood snow days or that ski trip you took last year.

 

With winter moving in quickly, I thought it was the perfect time to sip on some of the different hot cocoa options out there. Here are our thoughts on the six brands we tried, as well as our favorite brand. Want to see our top pick?

Hot Cocoa Versus Hot Chocolate

 

While we often use these names interchangeably, hot cocoa and hot chocolate are actually two different drinks. Hot cocoa, while it doesn’t contain actual chocolate, is a chocolate-flavored drink made by mixing cocoa powder with a sweetener and hot water. Hot chocolate, on the other hand, is a chocolate drink that’s made by mixing shaved, ground, or another form of actual chocolate with a sweetener and hot water or milk.

This taste test focused only on hot cocoa.

Thank you Erin and Collin Eggebrecht!

 

Erin and Collin ( Center) with fellow PHCIF team members Drew Niess and Donna Gensler

 

The Piedmont Heights Community Improvement Foundation, and the Piedmont Heights Civic Association Board, would like to express their deepest appreciation to Erin and Collin Eggebrecht for all of their hard work and contributions on behalf of the Foundation and Piedmont Heights residents. Erin and Collin volunteered and devoted much of their time during the last three years, as founding members of the Foundation, to help organize and participate in many of our neighborhood events.
Their family has grown during that time, with 16 month old twin boys and a private practice to run, they have decided to retire from The Foundation. We would like to wish Erin, Collin and their family a wonderful holiday and many healthy and happy days ahead! Thank you!
From PHCIF Member David Lerner ” Erin & Collin have worked tirelessly behind the scenes on the launch of the Foundation as well as to spread continued awareness of its mission of providing fundraising activities & special events to support PHCA community. They volunteered for us all with time efforts & expertise during the birth of their new twins & launch of their new business. They are great PCHA neighbors & I enjoyed serving with them on the Foundation Board.”
David Jon Lerner CPA CVA, Flagler Rd
 Erin and Collin are Physical Therapists and the owners of a practice in Virginia Highland, One Point Physical Therapy.

When Inclement Weather Threatens APS – From our Super

 

 

“Colder temperatures began arriving in Atlanta this week along with threats of more wintry weather such as sleet and snow. Based on the current forecast from the National Weather service, we do not anticipate inclement weather to hit our region until after classes on Friday. So we plan to be in school tomorrow, December 8. But that doesn’t mean we stop closely watching the weather.

In fact, we will continue to monitor the weather tonight, tomorrow and throughout the weekend and provide updates as appropriate should weather conditions impact after school programming or weekend activities.”  Superintendent Dr. Meria Carstarphen, Atlanta Public Schools
