Hmmm… I’m craving artichokes. I think that says that I’m pregnant. LOL!
I love this! Thanks for the resource! I even looked it over to evaluate my normal cravings and what my ND has said I’m deficient in. Couldn’t line up any more perfect!
THANK YOU for posting this! Fantastic reference. :D
OT (although this entry is very helpful)-We are going to the foster care orientation in AZ next week. Is there an agency that you recommend us to use or to steer clear of?
Really good post!
