Happy Labor Day and welcome to another edition of HELP for Mums<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I hope you had a wonderful\u00a0long weekend with your loved ones even as you prepare for the month ahead.
\nSeptember is one of my\u00a0favorite months of the year for a number of reasons;<\/p>\n

\n
1. Its the beginning of Fall -the most beautiful season!<\/li>\n
2. The start of a new school year – which I always loved as\u00a0student, but love even more as parent \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n
3. My Wedding Anniversary Month – which we always get to celebrate over labor day weekend!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   I guess I just love the fact that September is a month of new beginnings for me and my family and is such a beautiful month. I always feel so motivated and inspired in September. Therefore its only fitting that this month I will be featuring some wonderful Mums who motivate and inspire me.

   \nOk so, the world is talking healthy lifestyle, from food to exercise and the list could go on. Healthy eating has now become a part of everyday living in many homes including yours and mine:D. As a busy mum who is managing the family\u2019s needs including food and everything else which competes for your time, it is important to develop some techniques to help ensure that your family continues to eat different foods to;
   \nIncrease varieties
   \nIncrease nutrient intake because you are varying the family meals\u2026 and very importantly
   \nReduce boredom in the kitchen (as you are not cooking the same thing all the time)<\/p>\n\n\t\t
