The Gum Hunt

I too love gum!  I don't like the artificial sweetener Aspartame which is in EVERY sugar-free gum.  I found this Spry gum at Sprouts for about $8 for a big jar.  The taste doesn't last as long but it serves the habit and I can feel good feeding the Xylitol sweetener to my children because it's actually helping their teeth. (And that comes from a good source!)

For mornings like mine!

I'm lucky if I get breakfast in the morning while getting two little ones ready for school and my husband and baby ready for the day.  When I was in Whole Foods the other day I happened upon some quick healthy breakfast ideas that have been serving me well the last couple weeks.  Also, this cereal reminds me of "Life" which is loaded with sugar but my kiddos love it, even my especially particular little one!

1) Whole foods brand all natural granola (only sweetened with honey and Molasses
