Nanny to Mommy

I don't know about you, but this year y'all. I have no words. I have decided to try not to worry about the things I can't control and take of the things I can control. And while there is never one size fits all when it comes to supplements, I have been doing everything I can to boost my family's immune system.

I have known about elderberry helping in to possibly boost immune systems for a while, but I have been reading up on it so much more recently. According to WebMD, the berries and flowers of elderberry are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that may boost your immune system. They can help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart, too. Which might be helpful during these trying times. And some experts recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms which is coming up soon too!

Whether it’s fruit and vegetables, fish, or anything that looks plain weird, fussy eating is something that many parents will need to deal with at some point in their child’s lives. Some kids grow out of it, and they will happily scoff down everything on their plate. Others, however, will keep these fussy habits throughout their life. Not only does this affect their nutrition, but it also means they miss out on a veritable feast of delicious foods. You want your children to enjoy all the flavors of the world, so here are a few ways you can stop them from being such fussy eaters.
