Mane Highlights for 8-2-2013

Hear Me Roar!: My great accomplishment for the week is getting one of my articles published in the print edition of 'I Am Modern' Magazines Best of DC Suburbs 2013 Issue for Aug/Sep!  The article is called 'Bone Broth for Baby' and gives a brief overview of how my husband solved all of his gastrointestinal problems simply by changing his diet, and how that has changed our lives, the way we eat, and the way we feed our family.  As soon as the magazine updates their site for August, I will be able to link directly to the article.  In the mean time, I have scanned it so that you can get a sneak peak and still read the content!  Hope you enjoy :)
