Did you know your iPhone has a feature that will replay a day in time of your photos as a movie?

During this strange time we are living in, some grandparents are fortunate enough to be very involved with their grandkids.

No matter what age a grandchild may be — we can’t stress enough how important it is to have medical information on each child… just in case. And, while this may be everyone’s worst nightmare (i.e. a medical emergency), why not be prepared and have the information on hand so that medical attention isn’t hampered because you ‘just didn’t know’.

If you have any experience in the food allergy world, you likely know the uphill battle that adults and children with food allergies, as well as parents of children with food allergies, face when it comes to educating those around you. From scenes in TV and film that make fun of allergic reactions to the “we never had food allergies when we were growing up” attitude (which, by the way, is somewhat true), it’s a challenge to get those around us who do not live with it to understand its severity.

Imagine your perfect summer day, sitting in the back yard with the sun shining and the breeze blowing. The birds are chirping, and you marvel at the beauty of this season. Then, suddenly hunger hits…. you reach into your bag and pull out a thermos of piping hot, simmering, thick tomato soup. Wait, what? That doesn’t sound very refreshing. Because it’s not! Those warming foods are great for the winter months when our body needs to be cuddled and warmed; however, in summer months the trend for a lighter fare of cooling refreshing foods like fresh fruits and vegetables are the flavors of the season that you need to draw upon.
