What's With Kefir?

Anyone who has recently visited our home has been asked "would you like some kefir?" and most have been open to trying the delicious beverage. For years and years we have been taking probiotic supplements (yes, the entire family), and I swear by them. Between probiotics, breast milk, and duct tape, I'm quite close to taking over the world...insert evil laugh... But seriously... My journey to kefir started when a friend showed me how to make yogurt. Once I perfected making yogurt at home , I decided to look into the world of kefir. It took quite some time to hunt down some kefir grains. Unfortunately, none of my local shops carried the little buggers...so I ordered off Amazon and after a few day "activation" period, I was ready to rock and roll. We are now consistently turning out 4 cups of kefir each day. Believe it or not, we are going through just as much just as quickly. Our children (even the youngest who isn't quite a year) love the cold, sweet, d...

Product Review - Advanced Probiotics

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPd699bd673d2d53869eefc979da260d2c " rel="nofollow"> http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png " />I have been taking probiotics for years and I firmly believe in their value to overall health and digestion. I believe in them so much my children also take them and are infrequently ill. I didn't notice that Advanced Probiotic was any more or less effective than others I have taken, but I DEFINITELY appreciate the price. Keep in mind you take 2 capsules each day (with a light meal), but the cost per bottle is still significantly less than other brands I have tried. Advanced Probiotic makes it possible to obtain digestive health without breaking the piggy bank!

Pro-15 The Perfect Probiotic! (Product Review)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I've been taking probiotics for years. My children have all been taking probiotics since birth. I can say wholeheartedly I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I am proud to say my 7 year old has been on antibiotics twice and our 6 year old only once (the 7 month old - never). I fully think we owe this to a healthy diet and the probiotics. In addition to keeping us healthy, here's a quick run-down of why Pro-15 is our probiotic of choice: **No artificial flavors or colors **Better absorption **Easy to swallow and no yucky flavor or odor **Improved mood and energy levels (THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART) Like most of you, I am busy and wear many hats throughout the day. I tended to get cranky and short with people toward the end of the day. I also found myself getting tired. That was all BEFORE I started taking Pro-15 . They don't just claim to improve mood and energy levels, THEY DO IT! I ca...
