lulucakes on the run

So, here I am…day 1 of my new job and I am already super busy.  Woke up at 6:30 with Kev and went out to get the lawn watered, took Kev to work, dropped off thank you notes, came home and continued watering the lawn, and started laundry.

I’m taking a moment to blog but then I have to make a grocery list and head out to Whole Foods, or as Dad calls it, Whole Paycheck.  Kev sent me a list called the “Dirty Dozen” which included 12 fruits and vegetables that you should buy organic. Here is the list:

celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, blueberries, nectarines, sweet bell peppers, spinach (kale and collard greens included) cherries, potatoes, imported grapes, and lettuce.

I tend not to buy organic just because it’s a little pricer then other stuff and if I’m just running to Ralph’s they don’t have a big organic fruits and veggies section, and also, I have the mentality of wash it good.  But, last week we got a call from Ralph’s about a bag of lettuce that had been recalled…that we purchased and had already consumed!!!  It got me thinking about being more cautious at the store, taking my time and really buying more organic.

Kev loves apples, he eats one everyday but some days he’ll have two and I’m sad that I haven’t been buying him the organic apples!  I’ve been filling him full of pesticides.

Today, with the start of my new job I vow to do this job exceptionally well and take better care of my family!  While I’m at the store today (have to go to Whole Foods for vitamins) I plan on buying only fruits and veggies that are organic and what we need and will eat!  I hate when I have to throw stuff away.

I feel like I have a ton of stuff to do today, how in the world did I ever have time to work on top of all this other stuff???

I’m really enjoying my life.  Thank you Lord, I am so blessed.  Thank you for taking care of us…all 3 of us.
