Greetings everyone and happy spring!!! Yay it is finally here and this is my favorite time of year.

I must apologize for what may seem my lack of attention to the website over the past few weeks. I had issues with logging into the site to make updates. But the webmistress and I have figured out what was happening and I am now back and ready to go. If you sent me products for reviews, I will be pumping those out shortly. If you sent me an email and you haven’t received a response, I will get to you shortly.

I am officially a soccer Mom! Wesley started soccer 2 weeks ago. He is loving it. His coach is great. They have yet to play a game. I am really excited. Aubrey (who is 4 now) will be starting gymnastics in April and they will both be doing swim lessons too starting in April. They will be going to the YMCA programs. I will keep you posted on how we are liking their programs.

And lastly, I got engaged on Valentine’s Day! He asked me once before but would never set a date. This time he asked “Will you marry me on May 5th off this year?” How could I say no? *laughs*

My newest article is about a disease that is making its way through day care centers and preschools this time of year. It is a bacterial infection called Shigella.

I am also looking into organizing a book club on the forums. I would appreciate feedback on the types of books you would like to discuss together. Look at the forums and tell me what some of your favorite books are!

Until next week, be safe and be happy! I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. I thrive on your feedback!

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
