1/15/12: Adora - A Yummy Chocolate Calcuim Supplement

I unfortunately don't drink milk which makes it hard to get the 1000 mg calcium per day needed for my age.  Go here to find out requirements based on age.  When I went to an allergist recently they tested my blood and found that my Vitamin D was very low.  I am also a person who doesn't like to take pills.  Some of them taste bad, are very large or I just plain forget.  

Thank goodness for me there are products like Adora Calcium Supplements in Premium All-Natural Milk and Dark Chocolate!

Adora™ Calcium in premium chocolate will change the way you think about calcium supplements.  If you've been choking down calcium pills or chews that are chalky, sticky, or simply too big to swallow, then you are in for a real treat!  Adora Calcium is made from all-natural chocolate - not a fake chocolate chew, but real, premium chocolate produced by a chocolate company that's been in business since 1879.  The flavor is rich and creamy with just a hint of sweetness and no bitter aftertaste.  Adora will make you Crave Your Calcium™.

Adora Calcium is really good.  I don't really like chocolate a lot and I love it.  Funny enough my Dad worked for a candy company when I was growing up so it was always in the house but I don't really eat it too much.  The only issue is to stop at just one.   It is made by Thompson Brands, a chocolate company that has been developing quality chocolate novelties since 1879.  After over a century of perfecting the art of chocolate molding, the team at Thompson Brands believed chocolate offered more than great taste. When research revealed that chocolate contained health-promoting antioxidants, they knew it was the perfect vehicle for deliciously delivering health benefits.

Adora was even on The TODAY Show recently as one of Kathie Lee and Hoda’s “Favorite Things?”

Would you believe that nearly 65% of Americans are not getting the calcium their bodies need?

So instead of getting your sweetheart a box of chocolates, what about Adora Chocolate and a Calcium Supplement.  Their bones will thank you.

You can buy them online on the Adora website or at Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods and other retailers nationwide for around $7.99-$9.99 for a 1 month supply.

4/14/11: Evan's School Walk-a-Thon for Healthy Living

I love the idea our PTA had this year for the Spring Fundraiser.  Instead of selling something instead the kids did a Walk-a-Thon and learned about healthy living, got outside to enjoy walking, and had a great time!  The kids raised three times the normal amount for this fundraiser over previous years.  What an awesome idea!

I had the joy of walking with the Kindergarteners.  It was so fun, and Evan held my hand the whole walk.  I also walked with the 4th Graders which turned in to more of a Run-a-Thon than a Walk-a-Thon.  What a fun day.

 Ditson kids are cool!  There were great signs up all around the walk teaching the kids about healthy living, plus they got a water, bracelet, and ice pop when they were done.

 Evan even won a competition from the Walk-a-Thon to draw a picture and write what Healthy Living means to him.  He won out of all the Kindergarteners and got a pedometer!  We were so proud.

 Here is his picture.

 And what he wrote.
