In Remembrance of Ellis McClane

Last week I went to Austin, Texas, to see my sister and her lovely twin boys (almost a year old!) and attend a wedding. My husband Adam’s buddy was getting married and he was the best man. Double the fun!

Thursday night was so much fun, my sister got a sitter, and her husband, Adam and I went out for a big fat delicious dinner of Mexican food at Trudy’s. We were talking about our kids and how, now that we are parents, awful news stories about children jump out at us. My sister finally had to stop herself from reading these stories, too upsetting. Now that we have kids, we are so much more vulnerable. These stories are reminders that something bad can happen to anyone at anytime, including ourselves. We finally had to change the subject. Downer dinner talk!

Apple Cider Vinegar for Warts? Worked for Us!

If you have kids, you have probably dealt with warts. I know, I know – yuck! The worst is when your kid gets a wart on their finger, then bites their nails or puts their fingers in their mouth.

My daughter got a wart on the end of her finger and is fighting a nail biting habit, so I had to jump on this ASAP. I got on the internet and looked around for a more natural way to get rid of warts. What kept showing up as a successful way to get rid of a wart? Apple cider vinegar! I love apple cider vinegar, so many uses. So, I gave it a try.

IT WORKED!

 
Ideas for Green Halloween Costumes – A Guest Post by Jackie Ryan

Ghosts and ghouls, it’s October. Which means it’s time to get a costume together for your child (and yourself!). First things first, in looking to make an eco-friendly costume, give yourself time. Don’t leave the costume to the last minute. In fact, if you haven’t started creating a costume yet, you should probably do so.

Eco-friendly costumes have a good deal of sweat equity – be it in construction or searching for items, or even knitting, crocheting and sewing. They take work! But they’re all quite worth it, I can guarantee that.

 
Vidazorb Probiotics Giveaway!

It is no secret I am a huge probiotic fan.

If you are unfamiliar with probiotics, they are beneficial microorganisms found in certain foods, like yogurts. Probiotics not only give our immune system a boost, they also give our digestive tract some help developing healthy flora. Healthy flora promotes better digestion, as well as less gas and bloating. Bonus!
