Since October 15th is also international Blog Action Day - and this year’s focus is climate change - we’ll be discussing how to make responsible food choices that reduce greenhouse gases.
Have questions to ask? Advice to share? We want you there!

If I can figure this out, I am totally there! I love the work that you guys are doing…We have to Wake People Up!! If only we could find a way to get people tuned in who just do not understand the importance of these issues to their health and the health of our planet. I will keep blogging and trying to get the word out too!

As a working mom of a toddler and a 4 month old, it can be hard to find the time to make all of my own baby food. It’s great to have you as a resource for recommended foods and for that reminder that it’s so important to find the time to make (or sometimes buy) healthy, nutritious and fun meals!
Thanks! Looking forward to the Twitter Party!
