Is there a connection between the two? Are we that similar? I truly don’t believe so. okay to ensure that is my very first point.
Point number two, Web search. If you do an Web browse on the term “Healthy Moms” this blog is number one as well as directly below it is her website. seems quite fishy, doesn’t it? I believe that is exactly how she discovered me. Also, there are 5,830,000 other websites under that browse term. I will highlight a few of them that appear toward the top of the browse list.
