Growing Healthy Kids Multivitamin Review

Janice — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 20:52:12 +0000

I recently was contacted to review a new kid’s vitamin: Growing Healthy Kids Multivitamin by Life Time Fitness.

From the manufacturer’s website:

The Growing Healthy Kids Multivitamin was formulated by Dr. Jim LaValle to be an incredibly nutrient-dense multivitamin unlike anything else in the kids multivitamin market. Unlike sugar-filled, nutrient-poor gummy vitamins and other chewables, there were no corners cut in this multivitamin. It is also all-natural, sweetened with xylitol, lo han and Stevia and comes in a tasty cherry flavor.

I didn’t know how my kids would react to them, though they were very eager to try them. I vlogged their tremendously raw and honest review, and am rather thankful that I did because there is no way I could ever describe this in words:

No worries – I laughed too!

All in all, 5 year old Sierra liked the flavour, but not the texture. As for 3 year old Brooke… I had a hard time convincing her to try the POPChips I was sent to review after this experience.

I looked over the label, and the % daily values are based on a 2000 calorie diet, and in many cases there was well over 100% of the recommended daily value in the vitamins. The bottle suggests two vitamins/day for children over the age of 2. Now I don’t know about your kids, but mine certainly do not consume 2000 calories/day. Heck! I don’t even cosume that many calories in a day! Basically a child would get WELL over 200% of the required amount of many vitamins and minerals. I’m not a nutritionist, but I truly believe more is not always better.

My review? Save your money and just feed your children nutrient rich HEALTHY foods.

So while everyone is having a blast at Blissdom Canada, I got to do something even better… I got to go watch my 5 year old daughter’s Kindergarten Halloween Parade – aren’t they adorable?

Trust me on this – Noah’s ear bled after the strong language he heard over leaving his ark in the living room. Arrgh!

Yesterday, while gabbing on the phone, I tripped over an Ark that “Noah” absent-mindedly left laying out. Actually I didn’t really trip over it, I stepped ON it, my foot slid off the slanted roof and threw me off balance, causing me to fall sideways, love handles first into the sharp corner of my coffee table.

Ummmmm…. Yay?

On Friday I stopped by the office of Sierra’s daycare to drop off her $$ for a pottery class the kiddos will be doing this week. Pottery for 2 yr olds? Are they insane? Anyways, while there I asked whether Brooke is able to get in for full time daycare starting July 7th (her 1st Birthday and the fateful day when I go back to work). I’ve had her on a waiting list ’cause daycare for babies in these parts is hard to come by. They did a quick look up and sure enough there IS a spot for her. Ummmm…. yay? Knowing that we have a great daycare lined up for her where I can even watch her through live streaming video over the internet,is definitely a worry off of my shoulders. But it also brings about the reality that I will soon no longer be her one and only caregiver. That I will have to wean her partially, and throw her to the wolves. I will no longer be the mama bear able to protect her from poking by other cubs, sheltering her from all harm. I will have loosen my apron strings a bit and let her go.

Why is this so painful? Why is this so hard again? It was excruciatingly hard when Sierra was a baby, I felt bad for months. I cried when I dropped her off for weeks. I thought this time would be easier, afterall I’ve already been through it once. But its hard again. The thought of it brings tears to my eyes. Brooke is so sweet and happy all. the. time! I’m so sad that I will have to make my happy baby sad. I’ve been so reluctant to wean her, reluctant to leave her because I don’t want her to cry. I’m so afraid that she’ll be so traumatized, cry so much that her caregiver will shake her. Shaken baby syndrome scares the crap out of me ’cause it could happen so easily. I know her new daycare is good – they have nothing to hide and even allow us the option to watch our kids anytime over the internet.

I know, I know…. I’m being WAY over emotional! But c’mon! How can I ever leave this sweet little butt scooting baby?:

Isn’t she the most adorable thing ever? Arrrgh! July is scooting up on me far too fast!
