True Lemon-all natural flavor in a packet (no sugar, no sugar fakes!!)

http://www.truelemon.com/sample.cfm

I love True Lemon, True Lime and True Orange. I keep packets in my purse for travel during the day. They are great to add to water to give it flavor. I mix a packet into my water bottle for the gym too.

Info from their website:

The first and only products of their kind on the market, each serving of True Lemon® and True Lime™ provide consistent lemon and lime taste without any mess, waste and inconvenience.True Lemon® and True Lime™ are versatile, convenient, good-for-you and economical. For the first time ever, fresh squeezed lemon and lime taste is as simple as a tear of a packet or shake of a bottle thanks to True Lemon® and True Lime™.Besides flavoring water, iced or hot tea, beverages and drinks, True Lemon® and True Lime™ can be used as a seasoning on seafood, chicken, fruits and vegetables and in salads.

Cookie by Lisa Woomer-a great little children's book

My 5 year old really enjoyed reading Cookie. It is a fun book that teaches children about the value of healthy eating. It reminds us that we all need to have a treat sometimes, just not ALL the time. Kids of all ages (including grown up ones) will enjoy this cute book. I found it on Amazon.com
