Gold Sponsors San Diego Family Magazine‘s humble beginnings and original design as a black and white tabloid-style newspaper, the goal has always been to provide educational articles, resources and information with a focus on family issues. Every article and advertisement is designed to benefit parents and children in some way.

Credo has been paving the way for the clean beauty movement from our inception. Since our industry is seriously under-regulated, it’s largely left up to companies to define claims and terms, which creates confusion (at the least). We know that common language and a road map will help the consumer, brands, and everyone else, so we created
“The Credo Clean Standard.”

Yumi– Babies grow at such an accelerated rate that it’s common to develop nutrient deficiencies. We select blends based on your baby’s age and nutritional needs. Stop by and sample some of these organic, gluten-free and low in sugar.

Still have questions for Dr. Chawla of  BRSH + FLSS Pediatric Dentistry? Stop by his table for a chat.

Robin from Haven Children will be joining us. Don’t forget to stop by and say hello and check out how Haven Children gives back.
