Vitamins for kids!


SUPERKIDS is a great product I have come across from a reputable company. I like that it is liquid instead of a gummy or chewable because that makes it seems more like "medicine" and not a candy - even though it tastes good! What makes it better than other multivitamins is wonderfully explained in this quote from their website:
"The SuperKids formula is similar to Beeyoutiful's other "Super" products but without the iron.* And there's no synthetic dyes or sugar to hype up your kids. Derived from real foods, every bottle of SuperKids multivitamins for kids is chock-full of antioxidants like vitamins C and E, bioflavanoids, lycopene, and other carotenes that wage war against the free radicals assaulting your child's body every time they eat processed food or breathe polluted air.

These goodies will absorb and be better used by your child's body because SuperKids contains aloe vera, the superfood known for smoothing out digestion. It works magic in the colon for happier and more regular trips to the bathroom. Aloe also makes the intestines "slippery" so nasty stomach bugs can't take hold as easily.

Your child's bones will have an easier time enduring bike wrecks and falls thanks to the manganese, zinc, selenium, and other colloidal minerals. Plus, the Vitamin D in SuperKids enhances absorption of calcium -- especially important during the "fast bone growth years" ages 4 to 12.

Sweetened with xylitol, a natural substance actually good for your child's teeth, SuperKids comes in two great flavors: orange and multi-berry. Both taste so good, your kids will look forward to their teaspoonful of vitamin "dessert" after breakfast and supper.**"
Have you come across a nutritional supplement or product for kids that you absolutely love? Tell me about it? Ever have a bad experience with one or were disappointed? Let me know that too.

thank you for a better creamer!


For years, I guiltily indulged in the "naughty" coffee creamers filled with plasticky ingredients all sorts of frightening sweeteners just because it made my morning coffee that much yummier. Now I am pleased to see many different brands coming out with more natural alternatives with simpler ingredients like milk, sugar, and natural flavoring. It tastes just the same as the more chemical counter-parts. No wait, maybe it tastes even better because it isn't quite as frightening. Thank you creamer manufacturers! Me and my coffe are grateful!

Great Toy for Girls


WOODKINS! Woodkins are these great wooden toys with cutouts of people and rooms and scenery and they come with scraps of fabric (and you can add more of your own) with which the child decorates the people and the furniture. A friend gave my 3 y/o daughter a set and she played with it for hours! That's like a year in 3 y/o time!! The photo shows my 6 y/o son and my toddler enjoying it as well. You can find them at places where "hands-on" toys are sold. One of my favorite sites is : http://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/small_world_toys/woodkins.cfm

What's great about these toys is that they are durable, safe, and evoke creativity. They would make a good choice for a "take along" toy as well when you need something for a car ride or doctor's office waiting room survival item (or heaven forbid, the DMV). WOODKINS! Do your children have woodkins? What do you think about them?
