Red Chard Recipe
As you may recall, I’m doing my best to follow a more healthful diet, including [eek!] COLLARD GREENS, CHARD, and KALE. These veggies have always frightened me for some reason, and after chowing down on some red chard today, I can’t for the life of me remember why! I mean, have you ever tried Googling…

Well…it’s back on the boob…at least until we get Smalls pooping again. Poor little man is just miserable, and I can’t stand to see him hurt.

I am sad to report that Smalls does NOT like watermelon. At all. Even with avocado (as a side dish). He makes gagging noises (without food in his mounth) and covers his mouth with his hands. I thought that he would LOVE watermelon-it’s sweet, refreshing…but, alas, he does not.He also doesn’t do well with prune…

We have since been lucky enough to move to an area where there is a Target that is actually closer than Walmart. I have not shopped in a Walmart in almost 5 years. WOOT! Call me biased, but I HATE Walmart. While the fact that it’s a ‘Mart’ should be enough, there are a number of…
