Happy Holidays!
Just a quick note to wish all of you a very happy and healthy holiday season. I had to do some research on holiday injuries and other horrors and thought I’d share a few tips with you.
Firstly, poinsettias aren’t as poisonous as it’s rumored. A 50lb child would have to eat about 500 leaves to reach a toxic level. The most dangerous poison in your home at the holidays is alcohol, so just do me a favor and pick up all the cups after the party tonight.
As for raw cookie dough, the chance of getting salmonella poisoning from raw eggs is probably less than than of getting it from your pet turtle.
And for a bit of cocktail conversation, here you go: nutmeg can actually cause vomiting, diarrhea and confusion when consumed in large quantities.
Which just goes to show, it’s all about moderation.
Happy Holidays!

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
