And the weekend means...another illness
I thought about taking my kids outside today. I know it's not 50 degrees..the temperature I have deemed as outside playtime doable. But it is 32 degrees...and that means it's not negative anything. And my kids need to get outside so badly. A little sledding down our side hill would do them well.
However, Cameron, who I thought had recovered from his vomitting of last weekend, woke up with 101.3 fever. With my husband on call, we now won't be doing anything but hanging out inside. These random illnesses are getting quite ridiculous!
Here's my organic food list given to me by the dietician.
WHEN TO CONSIDER BUYING ORGANIC FOODS

I REALLY wish Strawberries were on the 2nd list. Those things are $8 when organic...and I buy strawberries all the time!

I've been told carrots absorb surrouding elements extremely well also...so those might go on the first list.

Sorry to hear the "bug" is still lingering in your house. Hope Cameron feels better soon and the rest of you stay healthy.
Organic foods are so darn $$$$.
What if you buy one of those special fruit/vegetable washes to clean them in?
Does that help?
Caro,
My dietician said that if you can't/don't do organic, it's really important to wash the fruits and veggies well. I just bought one of those spray wash things myself.
