For Our family we try and buy from a Farmer’s Market and we are also part of a CSA. I’ve noticed that because we have had access to such wonderful organic food we are eating much more healthy.

New PBS Series – Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Debuts September 3, 2012

A couple of months ago I was in Denver for the PBS Annual meeting. It was a great time and I got to meet some wonderful people and learn about some fun things coming from PBS. One of those things is a new show called Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. This is a show for preschoolers. The show is adorable. I think that Eva will enjoy it for a while before she is too old for it and then when Andrew is older he will enjoy it too. Here is more info on the show and when it will debut.
