This morning Louie's mom, Fabiana, is coming to pick the little guy up. We were watching him while she was in New York for vacation. He was such a cutie! Winnie loved having someone around while Brett and I were at work, and Louie followed him around like a big dog brother! They are surely going to miss each other!

I was on a cereal kick this morning, and decided to try the other kind of Kashi cereal that I bought at the store. It is called Go Lean Crunch! It has 9 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber, and 500 mg of Omega-3! I loved the almondy crunch, and the flax seeds added an extra healthy kick! I loaded it with fresh strawberries and blueberries, and a little skim milk. The fiber loaded breakfast kept me full and satisfied until lunch.

At the store, I also stocked up on some vitamins. Brett was concerned that I wasn't taking any multi-vitamins, so we went down the isle to see if we could find some that I would take. For some reason, the women's multi vitamin I was taking before always upset my stomach and I hated the taste in my mouth after having to swallow the huge pills! So, we decided to go for the chewable children's vitamins! They have pretty much the same amount of vitamins as the one I was taking previously, only now I look forward to taking them!

The only thing that concerned me was that there wasn't a whole lot of calcium in these vitamins, and I know it is important, especially for women to take calcium. So I also bought these chocolate calcium chews. I think it is a great idea, because what woman doesn't like chocolate! I pretty much look forward to taking these vitamins everyday now! 

What kind of vitamins or other supplements do you take daily?

I recently have been very into buying organic products, and trying out new things from the GreenWise section of Publix, or at Whole Foods. My intention was to purchase foods that were healther for my body to consume, not realizing the benefits that it has on local farmers and the enviornment! I came across this great article which explains the benefits of buying orgain products! Check it out: Buying Organic Products

I have purchased some organic products, but noticed that the cost is higher than others, and when you are living paycheck to paycheck, .30 cents is a lot! I clicked around in the article to find out more information, and decided to post this list of which fruits and vegetables are known to carry the most pesticides, even after being washed. They call it the "Dirty Dozen!"

If you're going to splurge on organic produce, Buy the "Dirty Dozen" organic.
