A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that Baby’s cheeks were very rosy all of a sudden. I thought they were some kind of allergy or rash. When I touched the red patch, it was smooth and there was no rash at all. The rosy cheeks looked very natural. She looked really pretty with rosy cheeks…
A man whom I always meet and chat with in the gym was once in the IT field. He has now retired. And he stays in a huge bungalow. I thought he is a businessman but I found out recently that he was once an IT manager in a huge international organization. I wonder how…
