Somehow, the pregnancy brain has chosen to overstay its welcome--even postpartum--so, in an effort to stay proactive about remembering which foods to buy organic (especially when it comes to making baby food at home), we decided to create our own "cheat sheets" based on the Environmental Working Group's 2015 lists: The Dirty Dozen and the Clean … [Read more...]

In the last 3 months, he has harvested 2 plumeria seed pods from different cultivars: Kool-Aid and Espinda (we purchased them from Exotic Plumeria in Seffner, Florida).
