In the last few months, my 5-year-old hasn’t been wanting to go to anyone’s house without me there. Since he was younger he was okay with spending time with other family members but lately, he wants mom and his home. The place where he feels the most comfortable to be himself. It was really bad the last time I tried to drop him off. We sat in the car for 50 minutes talking and trying to convince him to get out and enjoy the weekend. I knew if I drove away and he didn’t see this important family member it could affect their relationship later on and I didn’t want to see that happen. He finally got out of the car after I said I would pick him up in 2 hours if he still felt the same way. It turns out he was fine for the rest of the weekend and I did speak to him on the phone a couple of times. Sharing kids is so hard and complicated sometimes and knowing what the right thing to do for your sons best interest is also hard in situations like this! What really bothered me is that I was blamed for my son not wanting to leave me because I Baby him. What does that even mean? Is it because I listen to my son’s needs, communicate about his feelings and give unconditional love to him? This was said in front of him and this comment really bothered me. I believe this is exactly what is wrong with our society. I feel very passionate about this topic and...

Vitamin C is a wonderful natural product well known for it’s anti-aging properties. I have added Vitamin C to my Anti Aging Eye Cream Vitamin C is a popular Anti-oxidant and is a required component in the production of collagen, the tissue responsible for skin suppleness. Vitamin C has also been shown to help slow the production of age spots. I would like to share a couple articles I found on the benefits of Vitamin C for aging and collagen production as all the information is referenced. Antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, have anti-oxidant powers because they help fight off the damage caused by chemicals and toxins from our daily life. Sun exposure, tobacco smoke, pollution, and even stress hormones from our own body, makes us age. Paula’s Choice explains that “not only do antioxidants combat the free-radical damage that is responsible for the visible (and hidden) signs of aging, they also enhance the effectiveness of sunscreens in preventing sun damage.” The vitamin C supplement has always been known to fight off colds, however, it has many more powers to keep us young. Paula’s Choice calls it an “anti-aging superstar” and states that it “works particularly well for treating wrinkles, dullness, and brown spots.” Dr. Oz supports this research, explaining that the skin of younger people is full of Vitamin C, but as we age, we lose the amount of this supplement, which causes our skin to age, as well. Smoking, UV rays and chemicals also contribute to the loss of Vitamin C in our bodies. See the rest of this article by clicking HERE. Vitamin C is an...

Emalee’s dinner! I haven’t mentioned this before because I wanted to check with my step daughter Emalee to make sure she was comfortable with me sharing her health story. She is because she wants other kids to not feel sick and eat yummy tasty foods like she can. Going through this journey with her has 100 % brought me to where I am now. I hope you get a better sense of what Kitty Coleman Natural Bliss is all about! Emalee came into my life when she was 4 years old. She wasn’t a very healthy girl when I met her and it broke my heart. I had a 2 yr old, her step brother Kaiden who was healthy. So I knew something was wrong. At 2 years old Emalee developed a severe peanut allergy. She is anaphylaxis so she has to have an epipen with her. She also developed asthma around the same time. When I met Emalee when she was 4 she was often sick with a runny nose, tummy aches, rashes, cold sores at least twice a month and dry skin. It was so hard on me seeing one of my children who I loved so much, so unwell. It caused a lot of stress for our family and nothing was going to get in my way to change it. After her little sister Lily was born I decided to take things into my own hands. I slowly cut back the medications she was on. I used alternatives like essential oils for her asthma and even though we ate well we cut out all preservatives and...
