I'm very bad about juice. Well, I WAS. Very seldom anymore does she get juice unless it's the lite kind and I DO mix it with water and lots of ice. She's also now eating the smartchoice peanut butter on her sandwiche with a banana. Whenever she wants something to eat I give her a bowl of...

Thanks so much. This really helps. I do have an issue with rewarding her with food, well did, and now reward her with trips to "special places" like the zoo or the "Big park". Not sure if that's any better but....And since we just moved here (bentonville, AR) I still need to look into dance...

WoW! I worries me a great deal because I want her to be healthy and happy. And kids nowadays are so cruel, I don't want her to have to go through that as well. And I will be taking her to the Dr to get her checked out to the fullest extent. I just want a happy, healthy, well-adjusted little...

Thanks Everyone!!! Thank you ALL so much for all your advice!!! It is pretty intimidating, with all the laws and such. I have found out that I would need a special license and health inspector before continuing on with this idea. With the brand new house we're moving into, hopefully I'll...

Ok. I'm a multi-talented-have-no-idea-what-I-wanna-do-when-I-grow-up mom and wife. My hubby makes enough so that I don't have to work. I've experience in planning weddings and events (about 6 years), cleaning houses (about 8 years) and baking. Well, the only people I've ever baked for is my...
