    I agree with Julian: I hate grape anything except pure grape juice and vine grapes, but as children of the 60s & 70s we also had the "lovely" cherry-flavored medicines, so except for cherry pie and bing cherries, I despise that flavor too! 🤢

    I made sure that my kids had specialty-mixed meds when they had to have 'em; banana and strawberry cream were favorites as was one that was marshmallow. For some reason, my kids were constantly battling strep throat and ear infections! Wish I knew about zinc, D3, and HCQ when they were little, but despite that, they were extremely healthy!

    I was what *I* call an "earth mother": When I was pregnant with my first, I found a book called "Let's Have Healthy Children" by Adell Davis. It was a treasure trove of healthy eating and living. I never took the prenatals cuz the amount of iron can be toxic to the growing fetus, especially boys.
    I breastfed both my boys until they could hold a sippy cup and drink. Neither of them (10 year age difference) ever wore a "Pamper"; only cloth diapers with soft waterproof velcro covers. I never gave them commercial baby food either: Steamed veggies, fresh fruit, and whatever meat was for dinner. The baby food grinder was a Godsend!

    Believe it or not but providing for my boys the way I did was *cheaper* than what most "modern" parents do. The baby industry is making a killing off new parents and as with the homemade baby food, definitely healthier! My boys grew up loving Brussel sprouts (soccer balls), carrots (bats), peas (baseballs), broccoli (trees), and even liver. I had a blast raising my boys! I miss that! They're 38 and 28 now and have families of their own.


    Sorry, ya triggered me again! LOL!
    See ya!😁
