My girls absolutely love kefir, a delightfully delicious cultured milk similar to yogurt.

I was reading the latest issue of Natural Health Magazine and was grabbed by a rubber duck. Well he kinda flapped me in the face with his BPA laden wing but you get the picture.

I now believe in love at first sight. While walking through Nordstroms I spied the shoes of my dreams – Jambu Planet Vegan shoes? Sounds like a delectably delightful ice-cream flavor.
