Our Poor, Neglected Blog :(

(Our sleeping beauty- Jillian)

I've never been really great about consistent blogging but tried to write something on a regular basis. Well now that our newest addition Jillian is here, the blog ( and numerous other things) are sooooo neglected! Guess that's what happens when you have a new baby, lol!
Sorry about that, I hope to have some posts very soon.

Local Food

It seems like you hear more and more about buying products locally.
I think if at all possible that is a fantastic idea! I happened to have the tv on tonight and a commercial caught my attention. Most of the time I could do without commercials but this one was talking about buying local products and how it effects the local economy which as we all know, Michigan and it's citizens can use all of the help it/we can get!
I don't know much about the Michigan Land Use Institute but I did think that a website linking people to local food and other products was a great idea!
Here is what specifically caught my attention,
(from their commercial and website)

If we all spend just $10 a week
on local farm foods,our regional economy
will grow by nearly $5 million a year!

$10 a week makes a difference of $5 million dollars a year for local economy!
Definitely seems worth trying to do!!

Here is another resource if you are interested in buying and eating local
www.localharvest.org
You can search for CSA's , farmer's markets, restaurants and more!

Be sure to check out both sites when you have a little extra time, there seems to be a lot of info :)

Healthy Or Not?

We all know that there are no lack of diets and eating plans out there.
All of them claim to be the best for losing weight and overall health. But how do we know for sure??
Here is a blog I came across that has a write up called Pseudo-Healthy Diets.
I thought it was a great article that explained why whole grains aren't all they are cracked up to be, why low fat is something to reconsider, why you want to steer clear of artificial sweeteners, and more!

Interested in learning about how to eat healthy? It's probably completely opposite of what you've been told!
