We’re ready to start thinking about St. Patrick’s Day (yes, already). Maybe it’s all the snow that’s still on the ground, or even still falling in some places. Maybe it’s the days getting just enough longer to notice the sunrise each morning. Maybe it’s a need for a rainbow and a pot of gold. But we’re thinking GREEN.

And today, that means the king of green vegetables – kale.

Here’s an unusual snack that is kid-tested (and kid-approved). Yes, really – by middle school students even. Kale chips are delicious. The woman who made this video is pregnant, but you don’t have to be eating for two to be looking for a healthy and delicious alternative to potato chips.

Let us know how you like them!

Marilu refers to the “Blue Book” in this video – that’s the nickname of The 30 Day Total Health Makeover
. (The cover is blue… and long, long ago, on a server far, far away, the members of Marilu.com created the nickname because it was easier to type.)

A peach pencil is great for hiding flaws. We all have ‘em – it’s good to know how to hide ‘em.

Here’s a little inspiration for taking the stairs.

Fun can obviously change behavior for the better.

So, you know… make it fun.

Even if you have to pretend the stairs are a piano. Or the grocery cart is a sled. Or the hairbrush is a microphone (rock out, baby!).

Get active by having fun.

Thanks to member Kim in IN for passing this on to us.

Marilu was in Las Vegas recently to see Broadway actor and movie star Chazz Palminteri in his one-man performance of A Bronx Tale.

My stepson-in-law (Trent Othick) who is married to Rob’s daughter Erin is the producer of the show and he invited Michael and me to the opening. I had seen the show before when it opened in LA last year. It is a brilliantly written and executed piece and although there is only one person on stage you would swear you were watching twenty characters!
