Folate (methyl-folate) is a really important B vitamin that your body needs to thrive. You've maybe heard of how important it is for pregnancy, but it plays a crucial role in a lot of very particular actions outside of pregnancy, too!

My husband went back to work today… I count us as the lucky ones, two business owners who have the privilege to take eight weeks of blissful maternity/paternity leave with our son Rylan. Fathers are often left out of the equation completely and I honestly couldn’t have made it through those first eight weeks without him here. But, even our leaves come with great consequences: no income for me and cutting back on work for him. So, even as privileged as it has been, it’s also been daunting. If I think too long about the parental leave policy in the US, I cringe. But, that’s another blog for another day.
