Food

There are some things that John and I have to let go of... a perfectly clean house, well groomed children, stylish clothes, etc.  But one thing we do spend a little extra attention on (lately, anyway) is the food we are consuming as a family.  We've switched to almond milk as a way to cut down on the sheer volume of animal products we consume daily... we started growing our own garden in our backyard, we try to offer vegies at every meal, we buy a lot our food in the organic form if possible, I try to make things from scratch to avoid unknown additives, and we drink A LOT of spinach and blueberry smoothies.  **superfoods**

I got an ice cream maker for Mother's Day.  Because homemade ice cream makes me a better (and happier) mom.
*side note:  it is very difficult to find ice cream, these days, that doesn't have CORN SYRUP as an ingredient.  Just iced cream, please.
