Hannah and I had the pleasure of being interviewed and photographed by Bruce Kemp for Okanagan Life Magazine…the article is now out in their Spring issue! We really appreciate the opportunity to spread our Rainbow Eating message through this article and we both had a blast hanging out with Mr. Bruce! One of my favorite parts of the article “Hannah is a nine-year-old cutie with a real Pippi Longstocking appeal, making her a natural on camera.”  We agree 100% with Mr. Bruce̵

The old adage, “You are what you eat,” has been passed down for so many centuries because it rings true.

We recently made a new friend on Facebook and he has put together a fantastic guest post for you to enjoy!!
