Artisse Organic Lollipops

I have been very very ill the past week. What started as a small (first time ever) cold sore ended up as a very severe internal body infection. I couldn't talk as it just hurt to much let alone walk or get out of bed. I'm on the mend now and hopefully won't ever have to suffer that strain of virus (or any) ever again!

We are loving the Artisse organic Lollipops!

My son has just learnt how to suck a lollipop before it would end up on every surface of the house and himself but never in his mouth. Not any more as he has finally tasted the bursting flavour of fruits on a stick.

We don't allow him to have any sort of sweets/junk food other than fruit. With in-laws who own a bakery full of yummy colourful goodies this is a struggle. EarthyDaddy constantly gets grilled by his parents about why we don't allow it. "We fed all sorts of stuff to you and your sisters when you were growing up!"

We don't want to ban him from anything sweet all together but if we can delay it getting into his system then why not especially refined white sugar and products full of colours, numbers and preservatives which will be banned for sure. At the end of the day he is only one and it is totally unnecessary.

Being sick this week,Vomitron has been a little neglected so i thought id give him a little treat.

These lollipops have only a few ingredients: organic raw sugar, organic glucose syrup from rice, citric acid, fruit and vegetable extracts and natural flavours.

Well he loved it! it kept him busy for about half an hour, he did need a huge bath when he was done because of the sticky mess but hey half an hour of peace when your sick is worth ten thousand baths. I gave in and ate one too and oh my god they are delicious! i think ive found my new favourite 'sweet tooth' fix!

Big thumbs up from the man himself!
