Right Now...

Here's what we are doing right now...

suckin' on a purple carrot and a blue spoon that used to have green peas on it. she seems to love the purple carrot more than any other thing I've given her to gum on... she must know it's a rare treat (and from a local farm too)

In other news... today we had our first day at the buying club and boy oh boy did we buy! It's this really neato club that I just joined that promotes eating whole foods and organic and stuff like that... pretty granola (and yes they do carry granola). It's just one more step in the journey I've been on to provide optimal health, through food, to my family. We have been ditching high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils in favor of natural sweeteners and fats. We are also dabbling in soaked and sprouted grains, which this club also highly supports. They provide farm fresh eggs and milk straight from the cow along with other amazing things. Today was my first day and I had to put my deposit down so that cost some moolah and then I bought a gallon of maple syrup (drew likes him some waffles and this was much cheaper than buying it a little at a time). I also got eggs and beef and fish and cheese and an organic salve that supposed to help with rashes and bug bites. I'm hoping that through this healthy journey I will be able to continue in the healing process from all these nasty allergies (of which I am currently majorly suffering from and poor SJ too) and help Drew grow in health and give SJ the best possible health advantage in this life. It just doesn't seem a coincidence that disease is on the rise and so are the amount of chemicals we consume (though I know there are many factors). I still have a few quirks to work out... peanut butter being one (I still love me some reduced fat jif) and sodas (only one a week but still... trying to do less). I am not good at doing things in moderation and yet this diet is so complex and unconventional that it will take me a long time to make the switch and that's probably a good thing.
