Farm Fresh Deliciousness

This summer I decided to restart our account again with Door to Door Organics. We live out a ways from the farmers markets and I’m so busy with business work, homeschooling and the littles that for the price of the food and the time saved for me it’s a great deal; not to mention the boys are always hungry so having some fresh food midweek keeps their tummies full of nutritious food without having to make another trip out. This week we got chard, lettuce, pomegranate, grapefruit, apples, bananas, carrots, pears and avocados. I get the medium delivery with veggies and fruits and usually additionally order the organic wraps, Stoneyfield organic yogurt and some cheese since our Price Chopper in town doesn’t carry much as far as organic foods go. You can also sub out 5 items for different ones if you don’t want everything in the standard order for the week. I love that our boys get excited to see what we got in our box for the week and momma is thankful to have a hand in keeping our family well fed!

Our 1st Family Vacation

Well we are back from our last minute trip out of town and what a new adventure to say the least. I have to admit “vacation” with a six month old takes on a whole new meaning. Things actually went a whole lot smoother than I thought though with the only rough day being the flight back because Boo couldn’t fall asleep and proceeded to scream and cry for everyone for quite awhile. We also arrived at the parking lot to find the car battery dead. Other than that though it was a pretty enjoyable trip of sunshine and warmer weather. We flew into Orlando Tuesday and drove down through Miami, all the way out to Key West and back up the gulf side through Ft Myers and Sanibel Island, stopping for the night at different points along the way. I had dolphin (mahi mahi) tacos and curry shrimp during the time we were there. We walked by alligators in the everglades that were only a couple of feet away from us, stuck our toes in the sand at Key West and took a very interesting glass bottom boat ride which I’ll let my husbands review on tripadvisor explain to you.
