Katie, can I just say how impressed I am that you are letting your son choose to not be involved in these videos. You’re even saying “son” vs his name. We long time viewers know his name and how delightful he is, but that’s not something we are entitled to expect. It always makes me a little wary when parents seem to be making their kids participate in videos.

Very excited for the taste test. Tart cherry juice is so good for you. It helps reduce inflammation and my mom used to drink it because it helped with her gout. I need to get that juice. I should get back on because I have rheumatoid arthritis and lots of other issues lupus, and it really does help reduce inflammation in the body.

Try the Trader Joe's propolis oj and honey shots. They work well. 🍯 Thanks for the haul. The Valentines cakes and sprinkles are very pretty. I'm going to send a gift basket of ❤Valentine's items to my son and daughter in law who just had a baby boy💙🌸 Thanks again Katie
