We just cleaned out our garage this weekend and Chris wanted to move the stroller to the basement. I wouldn't let him...not because we really ever use it anymore, but because I wasn't quite ready to make that step! I know!!

]]> Comment on Happy Valentine’s Day! And speaking of hearts, got an American Red Cross story to share? {Discount code for classes, too!} by Lori http://melissacaddell.com/index.php/2010/02/13/happy-valentines-day-and-speaking-of-hearts-got-an-american-red-cross-story-to-share-discount-code-for-classes-too/comment-page-1/#comment-492 Lori Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:02:18 +0000 http://melissacaddell.com/?p=396#comment-492 You are so right, our lives get so busy that we let such important things like learning CPR and First Aid take a back seat. I remember when my son was in 3rd grade and some parents joined students and teachers for an outdoor lunch. My son was sitting next to his friend when he popped a grape in his mouth and then started to gag and panic. Thank goodness our teahcer who was sitting beside him and he knew exactly what to do because he had taken a CPR class. This was several years ago and I told myself then how important it was to get my rear up and go take a class. Sometimes we need a second reminder, thanks for that.

I found your twitter (if that's what it's called, I'm not really a twitter user, yet) and I liked it. Nice to see moms liking something their teenage daughters (not in your case, but yeah in general) like for a change. =) By the way I like your writing style, it's so friendly, I do not you but I like you already. Go Team Jacob. I was just searching Taylor Lautner for the heck of it, I am a teenage girl after all.

It helps people understand that there are bad things ON and IN their food. What I feel is equally important are the other items, not on the list or near the bottom of the list, that should also be organic because it's good for the environment, even if residue does not exist on the fruit or vegetable itself. I also feel confident that my food isn't genetically modified too, when I buy organic. With that in mind, keeping it affordable is key. That is why we made the Natural Food List. If that is not your type of thing, then just follow the countless deal sites, Facebook fan pages and vendor sites because they always have coupons. Also, some stores are much cheaper than others, even for store-brand organic foods. I have to say that the list is great in terms of the consumer.
