Dietary Supplements 101
Poor eating habits and added holiday stress can increase your need for high quality nutritional supplements.  Deciding which ones to take can be overwhelming, as there are so many products to choose from.  Most important is quality.  Your supplements should not contain any synthetic additives such as dyes, fillers or preservatives, as these can all impair nutrient absorption.  Capsules, chewable tablets, powders and liquids are usually preferable to tablets, as they are generally better... more
 


A Holiday Message
It has been said that the difference between family and friends is that you can choose your friends, but as we all gathered to take our staff photo at the Old Woodbury Town Hall (featured on the cover of our December Circular), I began to think about the different ways families are formed.  We have the family we were gifted with when we were born.  Some families come together out of circumstance. We make family out of our closest friends.  Most of us even consider our pets family... more 

Our History Together
This time of year I find myself reminiscing – how fast the summer went, the year for that matter….and it seems a short time ago that New Morning moved to the Middle Quarter Mall in 1995.  We stocked the shelves side by side with customers and friends that wanted to help out, which reminded me of our move to The Hollow in 1982.  Our customers packed up their cars in Hotchkissville, we all unpacked them onto the new shelves in The Hollow and everyone had a picnic outside.  Then I recalled the many customers beginning in Hotchkissville, then the Hollow and now the Middle Quarter Mall who have become part of the New Morning family.  You have always been the lifeblood of the store.  Thank you for the past and the present, and may we share a long and healthy future with you in our new home in North Woodbury. Blessings to all!
