2013 is going to be a great year for me! A banner year. But I need to talk about me from a few years ago…before I found out what I didn’t know. I want to share my story here to encourage others to really be proactive about your own health care, and to find a…
The Best Vitamins for Kids
Looking for the best kid vitamins? I shopped and tweaked for years, and the kids and I are now truly in love with the daily vitamins that they take. They meet the needs of tasting good, not requiring a toddler to swallow pills, and most of all, they meet my standard of not having any…
