Fitness tracker for kids....
My (almost) 8 year old son out of the blue this morning said he wants a blue fitbit for his wrist. I am all for this but I don't want to break the bank. Any suggestions for one for an 8 year old? I'm guessing he would like to have one that also had a built in watch as well. Thanks in advance.

NSV - small success story!!
So...I have been walking a LOT lately and it definitely paid off this weekend. I went with my daughter to a girl scout camp and we walked, hiked and walked some more!! I'm so thankful I had been getting in an average of 2-3 miles/day for the past couple of weeks...it helped so much AND....I didn't have to use my inhaler…

Helping my 7 year old son....
To confirm that I have to do something for my son - last night at ball practice, they had to do some running.....and he was always bringing up the end; walking a lot instead of running. My heart sank because I know what it's like to be "that kid" and it's happened to my child. I feel like I have failed somewhere in this…
