Take your vitamins!

When we were kids, my mom rarely made us take any vitamins since she assumed we were getting proper nutrition through her cooking. Vitamins were for those people who just didn't know how to eat right, or didn't want to. There were (and still are) Flinstones multivitamins for kids which are fabulous, but those are for kids, right? We adults suffer through swallowing foul tasting horse pills all in the name of good health, and until recently, I thought that was going to be my fate. Enter gummy vitamins.

Anyone who knows me should know I have a pretty serious affinity for gummy bears, or for that matter, almost anything gummy. Sour patch kids, gummy bears/cola bottles/frogs/etc. - they all tempt my palate! This newest spin on "taking care of yourself" is just what I needed to be a regular vitamin taker! I don't miss one morning of multi-vitamins or calcium now, all thanks to the ingenious little gummy vitamin bears. Now if only they could make flossing your teeth this much fun too!
