What's in our Halloween Candy?

What's in our Halloween Candy?
Raising a carefree, happy and healthy child is our number one goal, and one of the ways we achieve that is understanding what we're eating and limit food that is not good for him. Two years ago, when we were having issues with our son's behavior in school (could not sit still and was disruptive) I discovered dyes being a link to hyperactivity.

Basically, summer slide is when children lose learning concepts that were gained while in school during the summer because they are focused on fun and playtime; not on reading, writing, and arithmetic. Summer Slide Research has proven that...

Great Food Choices - Getting Kids Hooked Early

Great Food Choices - Getting Kids Hooked Early
It’s important for our family to have healthy choices at home. Growing up, my mom always stocked the fridge with fruits and vegetables. Left overs were always flavorful because they were cooked with a lot of veggies and herbs. As a result, I stock my own fridge with wholesome foods as an adult, and although we indulge in fast food once in a while, I always feel a tug towards fruits and vegetables, so I decided to raise our son the same way. After 7 years of giving our son healthy options, we have seen him push away the fries while eating our weekend burgers and many times leaves birthday...
