    Being A Left-handed Kid In A Right-handed World!
    Tweet When my 5 year old was born she tended to use her left hand. I have no idea why that concerned her dad so and I often caught him trying to “teach” her to use her right hand. Pediatricians warned that it takes a while to know since children flip between using both hands from the time they are born. Eventually, and much to my husband’s relief, she did end up...

My daughters grew up being vegetarians so that meant a lot of label reading. I am glad for that time since it was a true education which will remain with us. The surge of processed of foods and fast-foods...
