Posted on July 20, 2011 by admin in Wellness TipsYesterday was day two of the camp snack switch! If you remember, all this week my kids are at a vacation bible school in the evening and I’m sending them their own snacks to mirror the snacks they are giving the rest of the kids.

Dyes Drive Us Crazy!
Posted on January 10, 2011 by admin in Wellness TipsI can’t stand dyes in our foods. It’s one of my biggest causes of eye rolling when reading the ingredient list. They are completely unnecessary!

The treat was a mini candy [...]

Monkey See Monkey Do

We don’t go shopping in the mainstream aisles of the grocery store, we don’t give over the counter drugs, [...]
