I Got the Virus Hat Trick

Ashley Arnold — Sun, 25 Jan 2015 05:50:25 +0000

This has been one of those weeks. It started with a fever and a wheezing cough. My mom took me to the doctor and I was immediately diagnosed with RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) a respiratory virus (duh!) that infects the lungs and breathing passages. They gave me a breathing treatment and sent me home. I started at home breathing treatments every 4 hours which wasn’t so bad because I got to have a lollipop and watch ChuChu TV at the same time. Unfortunately that night I woke up with a high temp and bad ear pain, and then the vomiting began. I went back to the doctor and now not only have RSV, but the flu and an ear infection. The doctor said this is one of the worst seasons they have seen and RSV is highly contagious and going around. I hope no one gets hit with it but just in case these have been a few of me and my mom’s favorite things!

P.S. Sorry mom that you missed mom’s night out with all the girls. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I love you!

Level Natural Shower Bomb to put in a steam shower. Make sure your dad’s in there too.

And of course hydration…. DripDrop was created by a Mayo-Clinic-trained physician who was tired of recommending poor tasting electrolyte replacement solutions he knew his patients wouldn’t drink. Available in lemon and berry flavors, DripDrop tastes better than most pediatric solutions, and does not contain any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Tastes so good! Berry is my favorite.

Breathe Easy Rub by The Honest Company supports clear breathing and a good night sleep with organic eucalyptus and tea tree oils

doTerra Essential Oils and Diffuser is now a staple in our home. The On Guard is a constant for immune support and Breath is for nights like tonight.

There’s nothing better then lounging around in my Hanna Andersson organic Star Wars P.J.’s and slippers to keep my feet warm. My mom doesn’t let me do it to often but when I’m sick all bets are off. Rio 2 was an awesome movie and the Farm Puzzle app kept me pretty busy all day.

AND there is always Nate ‘n Al’s matzoh ball soup

Holidays…

Ashley Arnold — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 05:27:43 +0000

Just got home from a fun trip to Maui with my parents and Auntie. Fun for me, but maybe not as fun for my mom :) My sleep was a little off! I didn’t mind… it meant more time on the beach for me! What I wanted to share was before we left we continued our (my mom’s) great tradition of decorating gingerbread with our friends at Hollygrove. Below are just a few photos but if you click on the Events tab you will see a bunch more that were captured by one of our amazing sponsors, Yellow Heart Photography.

Teens for Food Justice

Ashley Arnold — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 06:14:17 +0000

I am so proud to support a generation that is taking matters into their own hands. What a cool group of teens! Oh and did I forget to mention It involves my 2 favorite things… science and eating?!?! Check out Teens for Food Justice…. See below what they do straight from their own mouth.

The Teens for Food Justice Initiative

Building a new generation of food justice activists and leaders — inspired and equipped to work together to create an equitable, sustainable approach to food.

Empowering Teens

Through our unique Teens for Food Justice model, volunteers work together to build and manage hydroponic farms that grow food for families in underserved, food desert communities. They also get the training, skills and confidence to help others improve their nutrition, fitness, and wellness and empower those at greatest risk to advocate for their own health. Volunteers learn and serve together in a hands-on entrepreneurial environment, gaining the collaborative, critical-thinking skills needed by tomorrow’s leaders and developing an ongoing commitment to lasting social change.

Feeding Communities

Teens for Food Justice was launched in September 2013 at New Beginnings Charter School in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. At New Beginnings, a team of teen volunteers from schools and neighborhoods throughout our city (with the help of partner organization NY Sun Works) have come together to build and maintain a classroom hydroponic farm that is a source of fresh produce, a living environmental science lab for the school’s K-7 students, and a health and nutrition hub for families.

The teens are also trained to lead nutrition and fitness workshops and help teach healthy cooking and eating and affordable shopping skills to children and adults. The volunteers spend a year together as health and sustainability ambassadors in the communities they serve, empowering those at-risk to take charge of their own health and learning to be leaders for positive social change.

Happy Thanksgiving

Ashley Arnold — Fri, 28 Nov 2014 04:08:00 +0000

I wanted to end my day by saying thank you to the Universe (and my dad:)). Thank you for the roof over my head and the food on my table. I was with a lot of people today that did not have these two things. I feel blessed that I was able to be a part of helping fill their tummies at the Laugh Factory. The owner Jamie Masada serves hundreds of homeless people every Thanksgiving and it is truly a gift! Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Skirball

Ashley Arnold — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 04:04:17 +0000

We spent 2 days at The Skirball this week. The first day we spent playing in Noah’s Ark. It was a ton of fun with so much to see and do! The second day I went back with my cousin and we did the archaeology dig. They gave us a bin and tools to dig with, and we went to work. After we were done we headed downstairs to the art studio, and did some arts and crafts. Besides my favorite part of being with my cousin Alivia, it was definitely Noah’s Ark. The rest was a bit boring…. I posted the link and shared pictures below!

Juicing A Kidz Way

Ashley Arnold — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 02:53:40 +0000

I have a hard time getting everything I need nutritionally in a day. So my mom makes me take Kidz Superfood. I mix it into my almond milk and it tastes like chocolate milk. I can’t believe it has 31 different rainbow fruits and veggies with only 1g of sugar and tastes so good! Also, it’s made with organic wheat grass, gluten free and vegan. We buy ours at Whole Foods but you can definitely order it online. Click the link below to learn more about this superfood. I know my buddies will be thanking me.
