Bountiful Baskets

I discovered the greatest place to get fresh produce!

bountifulbaskets.org

I've participated in this co-op the past 2 cycles and I love it!! I never was very good at buying produce for my family, unless it was canned or frozen. Now I get to have it all the time! I also like that I get to try things I otherwise would not try.

Here's the first basket I got. It had a Mexican theme, so you can guess what we ate for 2 weeks!

The second basket I got had more traditional produce. Rustin was excited to get mushrooms--I don't care for them, so I don't buy them!

Anyway, if anyone decides to participate, give it at least 2 tries. I was a little worried after the 1st time, but I was very happy with the 2nd. And the greatest thing is that they just opened a pickup site at Skyline park!! Yeah!!

Book Tag

I've been tagged!! Gee thanks, Erica!

I've been reading Persuasion by Jane Austen for my book club. On page 123, 5th sentence:

"At the end of that period, Lady Russell's politeness could repose no longer, and the fainter self-threatenings of the past, became in a decided tone, 'I must call on Mrs. Croft; I really must call upon her soon.'"

To complete this tag on your own:
1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages)
2. Turn to page 123
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog
5. Tag 5 people

I tag Maria, Melissa, Trisha, Lindsay, and Amber! You're it!

I'm still here!

Our blog has been sadly neglected the past two months since the arrival of #3. But I am ecstatic to say that Jacob is sleeping through the night -- from 10:30pm to 7:00am!!!! I am starting to feel like a human again, not some sleep-crazed zombie. No, it really wasn't that bad. Mason and Abby are really good about having quiet time so I can take a nap. I have some pictures to post when I finally take them off of the camera.

Anywho, just wanted to let you all know that we are still alive and chugging along. I'll post those pics soon!
