A whole month of nutrition…getting people excited about their nutrition and teaching them the ropes, tips, facts and new findings. Wow!!” The other (probably more dominant) side of me says: We […]
He doesn’t buy me flowers anymore… It’s not what you think. I have the best, most supportive husband there is. He is my biggest fan, supports me with my ups and downs and is my best friend. OK, enough mush. He even buys me flowers. I think buying flowers is something a gentleman does – […]
