The Flintstones Vitamins “10 Million Stronger” Campaign & Giveaway (ends 12/17)

  My girls love taking vitamins and they remind me every day that they need their vitamins.  To them it's like having candy because their vitamins taste good.  And I'll admit, occasionally when I give them their vitamins, I'll take some too.  (I'm not as good about taking vitamins as they are!) I am grateful that they enjoy taking them and they remind me.  When the doctor asks me if I give them a multivitamin I say yes and they always chime in "when you remember".  Those are the moments where I miss them being small enough to not talk for themselves!  Hey I'm a busy mom and I forgot from time to time. My point to all this is I'm so happy that companies like Flintstones make them yummy...
