Medication Take-Back Event
by monkk
Three in five teens say prescription pain relievers are easy to get from parent’s medicine cabinet. Help protect your teens against drug abuse and overdose by disposing of unused and expired medications. On Saturday, May 20 from 10:00-2:00 in the Pioneer High School parking lot, join the University of Michigan Division of Pain Research (Department of Anesthesiology) and the Ann Arbor Police Department to battle the very frightening but real trend of prescription drug abuse. They will be accepting the return of pills, capsules and patches. Not accepted items include needles, syringes, lancets and liquids. If you have any questions, contact Kristin Bennett at 734-998-0455 or krisbenn@med.umich.edu.

by ballybeg
Well, because it is way cheaper and more fun than buying food in a jar. You can control the quality, use the freshest ingredients, focus on the best nutrition, and introduce a bit of adventure into your baby’s eating. It is not that time-consuming either! Not every busy parent will opt to spend more time in the kitchen, when they could be doing other things with baby, but for those who are so inclined, we have many choices to provide inspiration and technique to the preparation of homemade baby food. These four books are a sampling.
