North Beach's Friday Night Farmer's Market

You know I hadn't mentioned this before but the North Beach Friday Night Farmer's Market is fantastic. Set off of 5th street and Bay, there is a nice mix of farmers coupled with the boardwalk and beach right there. It's nice to just take Baeleigh and Gavin down there and walk around for some fresh fruits and veggies then scurry over to the beach for a little bit. Sometimes there's even live entertainment. Best of all it's Friday evenings, so you can actually get down there after work and not ruin your weekend.

Five Easy Ways to Go Organic

Here's an interesting read for those new to the whole "eating organic" thing. This is actually kind of a concept that I've used in buying organic foods for our own family, and most especially Baeleigh. Milk is one the most important buys for me since Baeleigh drinks so much of it. Natural peanut butter has been a more recent addition after I heard how much sugar was actually in the conventional version. Baeleigh LOVES PB&J sandwiches. So, this seemed like a no-brainer. Now that I hear how much pesticide is used on peanuts though, I think I might have to stick to the organic brands.

If you are interested in buying organic but don't have a lot of money to switch over entirely (like me), this'll get you started...
