momcafé Event  -  Fresh Start - for the new school year

Our upcoming event, 'Fresh Start - for the new school year', is on Friday, August 22, 2008 at 9:30am
Join Callie Camp, Fit 4 Two, and Kalpna Solanki, BoboBaby to discuss how to keep you and your family fit and healthy this school year. Kalpna, our food expert, will give you some great ways to save time, money and energy while still offering fresh, tasty, nutritional meals for your kids at school and at home. Callie, our fitness expert, will teach you how to implement a fun fitness regime for you and your children that will seem more like play than a chore. Now that’s a fresh start for the whole family!
The speakers at Fresh Start - for the new school year will be:

Kalpna Solanki

Kalpna Solanki is a mom whose public health and environmental background led her to evaluate baby food products available when her baby started eating solids. She was uncompromising when it came to the quality of her baby’s food, so she made everything from scratch using the best quality organic ingredients. Taking it to the next level, she launched BOBOBABY, an award winning line of frozen organic baby food that is also kosher, age-appropriate, and free of the top 9 allergens. More recently, Kalpna found that when looking for ready-prepared meals for older kids the only options were chicken nuggets, fish fingers and French fries – hardly real food! So, she has just launched BOBOKIDS meals and snacks, for ages 2 to 102, with the added bonus of having veggies sneaked into EVERYTHING!

Callie Camp

A busy mom of two, Callie Camp understands the challenge of fitting in fitness. Although Callie teaches exercise classes every day, she is usually running around correcting form, wrangling babies and motivating her moms. This means she has to make time for her own workouts – just like you! Vancouver East franchisee of Fit 4 Two™, Callie is a Certified Can-Fit-Pro Pre & Postnatal Fitness Specialist and BCRPA Group Fitness and Yoga Leader. She has been teaching classes in her community since 2000 and joined Fit 4 Two™ in 2006, during her first pregnancy. Callie is excited to be nominated as this year’s BCRPA Group Fitness Leader of the Year, and enjoys seeing her business thrive in the pre & postnatal community. You CAN incorporate fitness into your family life! Find out how: Learn about patty cake planks, frog hops and elevator lunges. Prepare to change the way you think about fitness! Walk away feeling empowered to lead an active lifestyle regardless of how busy you are. You can do it!
