I’ll be honest and tell you that I haven’t been the best at taking vitamins myself or giving them to my kids. The reason I don’t take them myself is because I deal with the annoying issue of nausea every time I take them. I have yet to find vitamins that work for me (besidesRead More
As Todd and I are getting ready to head out to the Texas Longhorns game (Hook ‘em Horns!!) today, and I am in the football spirit, I thought I would post this fun guest article sent to me. It’s called Game On: Eight Gadgets to Optimize Your NFL Season. Yes, I know the Longhorns aren’tRead More
