#adventure Children love balancing on everything -

#adventure Children love balancing on everything - logs, rocks, and probably your sofa. Scientific research, like that conducted at Ithaca's College School of Health Sciences and Human Performance, reinforce the benefits of going barefoot and its positive health benefits including improved stability, balance and posture. Barefooting strengthens intrinsic muscles in the foot thus increasing the foot's ability to flex and balance on varying surfaces. Recently the benefits of barefoot training have gained popularity and ongoing research continues to expose more and more positive benefits. So next time you all go barefoot hiking, try your luck at balancing on a log.

#adventure Exploring the tractor show at the Fyffe

#adventure Exploring the tractor show at the Fyffe UFO Festival this past August. The festival featured hot air balloons, live music, arts and craft vendors, food trucks, and tractor and car show. The festival is a perfect mix for children and adults alike. Even Though I did not see any Aliens roaming the grounds; the festival was packed with friendly earthlings.

If you're wanting to try exploring sans shoes, local festivals are a great place to give it a go. No one will mind your feet as you explore the vendors and exhibits. Just enjoy yourself. Even the kids can join in.

Working from home has its advantages. No shoes? No

Working from home has its advantages. No shoes? No problem. Studies have shown people are more productive when relaxed within their environment. Going shoesless helps me relex (and maybe you too). Even a few companies have implemented shoe-free work spaces in the offices. Studies have also shown children not only learn better but also behave better when they kick off their shoes.

Last week the temperatures were in the mid 70°s F; but tonight, its cooled down to the mid 30°s, making exploring a little chillier. Can't wait for those summer days to return. For now, we'll warm up by the fire and enjoy the festivities.

#adventure It was a great day for a crisp fall hike around Shoal Creek Park near Montevallo. The last wildflowers of the season were in bloom just before winter arrives. The ground was cool and relaxing; it provided a needed break from work and a time to focus on family. We all had a great hike!
