What would happen to your children if you weren’t around anymore?
I’ve realized through the years that not every parent is aware of (or doesn’t want to think about) some of the more daunting risks facing our kids. Marc Schwartz, Winner of the Los Angeles Daily News Reader’s Choice Award for “Best Attorney”(Personal Family Lawyer) and “Favorite Living Trust” & a longtime friend, can help you take the necessary steps to protect your kids and ensure your legacy.

In the world of parenting, there is nothing more important than making sure your child grows up healthy & strong
So, when Alyson Eberle (owner of Pure Spoon) found that stores carried only shelf-stable baby foods & applesauce snacks that were over-processed and cooked using high heat pasteurization (which depletes both nutrition and flavor), she was very disappointed. This is when Pure Spoon was born. Alyson figured out a way to offer fresh, organic nutrient-packed foods for little ones that is made using the innovative method of pasteurization called HPP which uses high pressure (not heat) to lock in all nutrition & keep the food safe, without losing flavor. you can now find Pure Spoon purees in grocery stores or have it delivered to your front door, by visiting www.purespoon.com.
