I so agree that the Box Tops program is problematic. My kid’s daycare is constantly pushing for boxtops. When I told the teacher that we just don’t buy many products that have boxtops, she looked at me like I had three heads. I am not up on a high horse here. There are plenty of snack foods in my house and my kids definitely do not have perfect eating habits. But sheesh, I had no idea that I was apparently depriving my children and their school because I either prefer to buy store-brand stuff or bypass the GM stuff altogether because we have other preferences.

That article on colic rang so true to me. My baby didn’t outgrow her colic/tantrums until she turned 4 years old.
