The sun will come out... in April :(

Well, sad to say, winter is upon us, which means cold and flu season is right around the corner. Now that my daughter is in preschool, she's even more susceptible to germs. One of the best defenses against colds and the flu is Vitamin D! Since the sun is long gone until spring, the next best thing is Biotecs Research Bio-D Mulsion. You can purchase on healthdesigns.com.



I swear by this!! My doctor gave it to me last year and as soon as I started giving it to my daughter, she stopped getting a runny nose. There are two different doses, 400 IU and 2000 IU, at the recommendation of my doctor, I give my 3 year old 800 IU's per day and my 1 year old 400 IU's per day. You have to be careful because excess Vitamin D can cause health problems, so I would recommend consulting your pediatrician before giving it to your kids, but seriously consider this for yourself and your kids!

So busy!!!!

I know I haven't updated this blog in over a month. I've been so busy - my son turned one this month, my daughter started preschool, my sister is getting married tomorrow, I'm busy at work.... I literally feel so swamped, but I'm hoping that after this weekend I can get back into blogging. I think about potential topics everyday. I really want to discuss artificial sweeteners, vaccines and kid friendly dinners. So stay with me my loyal followers - all four of you :) I'll be back next week!

Have a great weekend!
