Wacky Weather!

Some have called wondering if we are under water, but we are ok on this side of the state. Iowa City ( East Iowa) and Missouri have been dealing with crazy flooding. However, we've had strong winds and tornado warnings every other week it seems.

We have no trees in our yard so no damage. Just two scaredy cats ( and one scared 30 year old woman).

Thanks for the concern. Love you!

Food for Thought!

I'm slowly getting into the ORGANIC way of eating.
Read an article that said best fruits/Veggies to buy organic are:
Strawberries, Apples, Peppers, Cucumbers and Grapes. Tried organic bananas and... Yuck!

Also, I've been reading about how our food is made and the strong connection between it and diseases like AD/HD, Diabetes and Cancer. Ummmm, it's enough to get me to change my eating habits and Mya's too. ( when she can eat solids)

It says things to watch out for: High Fructose Corn Syrup, certain Preservatives, Hydrogenated Oils and Aspertame. OH, don't get me started on Aspertame. Never trusted the stuff.

Maybe my paranoia comes from the work I've been doing for that past couple years w/ kids. I can say with certainty that there seems to be an increase of kids with behavior problems. It's got to be something in our environment and my guess is the food they are eating could be a major factor???

First Posting!

Hi All,
Thought I'd create this blog to communicate with all family and friends living in other states.
I will be sure to keep updated pictures of Mya here as well as "mommy topics" to disuss.

Please be sure to check in periodically!!

Love,
Erin
