fruits and vegetables

Before this pregnancy, I loved veggies and didn't enjoy fruit that much (other than berries and the occasional piece of citrus) Now, the situation has reversed. I eat 2-3 clementines a day, a grapefruit every couple of days, and lots of bananas, green apples, and blueberries. But swallow a vegetable? Not likely. I doctored up a can of french style green beans with dried cranberries and slivered almonds tonight, but I need some suggestions on adding more veggies when I don't have a taste for them. Anyone?

Peggy, disguise the veggies in fruit smoothies. Use the strong taste of pineapple and mango and while they are not looking slide in some carrot or asparagus or yellow squash or whatever will go in without a fight. Don't forget, chocolate chip cookies and ice cream are veggies... joe

Blog Reader Survey!

In an effort to figure out how people are getting Owen info/pix, I am trying to find out who reads this blog regularly and uses it as their main way to keep up with our family. I am finding "photo management" to be much more difficult than getting enough sleep as a new mommy! Currently I am using facebook and this blog to share pix. I am building a Shutterfly share site as well, mainly for several people who don't use facebook or read the blog as much. If you read this, could you please leave a comment to this post or send me an email to let me know: 1. How do you like to keep up with us- Junebug blog, Casaluna blog, facebook, email, or a combination? 2. Would you want to be invited to a Shutterfly sharesite and there you can opt to receive emails when we add new pix? I don't want to bombard people with photos but at the same time love the idea that they are there for people to access when they have time or inclination. Thanks for your help with this!

Babymoon

We took a "babymoon" overnight trip this Valentine's weekend down to Carlsbad. We stayed right across from the beach and had time to relax, walk on the beach, eat yummy food, shop, see my cousin C. and her fiance M., and even go to the beautiful new Encinitas library! It was a great pre-parenting getaway! Now that I'm home, I'm starting to do the heavy-duty research on what we need and don't need, and I'm realizing I don't know much! For instance-how many bottles do we need? What's the difference between travel systems, infant car seats, bases and convertible car seats? Who knew that I didn't know? Not me! Wish us luck!!
