Yes, it's so fun to live inside a grocery store. (Smile) We were at
our local Kroger store's fall festival and costume contest. We won!

I need to start just grinding or mashing up whatever we are eating.
We don't always eat the most pure, organic food, so I get a bit
worried. One of my cousins was a labor and delivery nurse for many
years, so she got to know a good number of pediatricians. She asked
one what to feed her baby boys and she was told just to puree whatever
she cooked for dinner. She had the same concerns as me -- I'm not
cooking organic broccoli, I'm cooking casseroles, beans and rice,
etc. -- the ped told her to throw it all in the blender, your babies
will love it. She did just that, and she has two strong, healthy,
smart, gorgeous teen boys. The oldest is in college on a golf
scholarship.
