Every to***co-free day helps improve blood sugar control, circulation, and energy.
Your body starts healing sooner than you think, and every step forward counts.

Quit Tip - Consider going for a walk while listening to your favorite music!

🙈We were so too busy having fun at our Safe Sitter courses Tuesday and Wednesday to take many pictures 📸 but we graduated 34 Safe Sitters this week in our community and neighboring towns!

Students were attentive, respectful, and eager to learn! They are always excited to learn the basics, but CPR/first aid is always one of the highlights and most desired skills they want to learn! ❤️

Huge shout out to Harvey Ambulance Service and Fessenden Ambulance District for graciously helping us with this program each summer and instructing the hands on CPR/choking rescue portion!

🫂 We are always so impressed by the CPR instructors’ abilities to work with the kids and communicate the seriousness of CPR in a gentle way while also empowering the students with the confidence that they CAN do it with the skills they have been taught.

Each ambulance service also allows us to utilize their meeting rooms for our classes which is so appreciated by us! They hear a lot of giggles and a lot of questions throughout the day!🤪

Thank you to the parents who signed their students up for the course and find value in the teachings! ☀️ Here’s to a great summer of babysitting and being safe at home! 🏡
