Thank Goodness!

Just about 20 minutes ago, I had a little baby sitting down in her high chair, shooting food off of her plate and even had food on the ceiling. YES. There was food on the ceiling, and when I asked said baby why she did that, she begins to cry. WOW. I begin to clean [...]

Yet Another Recall

Cantaloupes are another item on the list for recall in California today. If you read one of my recent posts, there was recently a recall on beef in California, now there is a grocery chain in Sacramento erring on the side of caution and voluntarily recalling a recent shipment of cantaloupes that tested positive for [...]

Mother Earth

Since humans stay indoors more and more as our lives have gravitated around what we call the internet, there seems to be an increase in illness and diseases. There may be a better explanation for why we have such an intrigue with nature, and with the green movement, our natural environment is becoming a bigger [...]
