” If you’ve ever considered planting a food garden, spring is the perfect time to get started.
You don’t have to have a green thumb to share nutritious, homegrown foods with your children and family. Whether you are thinking of planting a garden for your babies’ first foods, or want to feed growing children for the toddler years and beyond, everyone in the family can benefit from homegrown fruits and vegetables.Organic food gardening can make a huge impact on your family’s health and the planet with minimal time, space, or money. Growing your own food is easier than you might think. As a busy mom of one year old twins and a newbie gardener living in a house with a small yard in a big city, I am proof that with very little time and space, you can grow food for your multiples.

How do you get your kids to brush their teeth properly? Make it fun of course? Here are some Twiniversity Tips on getting your children to enjoy lifelong dental health!
Start “brushing” early. Baby’s teeth are just as important to keep clean as yours. Although they don’t have too many at first, their little tooth buds are sensitive and should always be kept clean. The earlier you start “brushing” your children’s teeth, the more familiar they become with having it as a part of their regular routine. It’s important for your kids to understand the importance of dental health. Years to come, it can make a big difference with the whiteness of their teeth, and the health of their gums and enamel.
