A great day...

Today all we did was play outside in the snow...whether it was the dogs or the kids, we played. And no plastic toys made in China were required. :) What a great way to spend the day. Out in the elements with nothing but each other.

Remember that everyday when you go shopping for food, toys, clothes, etc, you are VOTING! Make sure you believe where you money is going. If you believe it is ok to harshly raise and kill animals, buy a McDonalds cheeseburger. If you think it is ok to let your kids drink out of cups and bottles with BPA--this is a hormone disrupter that has been shown to cause cancer. (Most industrialized countries have outlawed it--Not the USA), put your money there.

Choose to buy organic, free range eggs, where the chickens can wander and produce eggs with way more omega 3s. Play outside! Outside air is way cleaner than any indoor air, and once a baby is about 6 weeks old, they can regulate body temperature just fine!

PS---And we went to see Santa tonight...who knows where the candy canes full of high fructose corn syrup came from?!
