Meets all criteria

I am pretty sure that Kevin believes that I have lost my mind. In the past 6 months, I have committed to some changes in my family. I have "gone green" in my attempt to preserve the earth for future generations and recycling has become a routine for Kevin and I. It is amazing how much less garbage we have now and I am even considering trading in our huge kirby for a smaller one. (save $ too). Recycling does require some extra effort not only as we separate and sort, but also because we do not have a recycle pick up service available. The local center is not far away, but it is really cold out and drop off is not fun. I have also become more conscious of the foods that we buy. I purchase organic as often as possible and I have researched what foods are locally made. I am also always aware of what packaging can be recycled and try to find products that are minimally packaged. On top of all of this, I am always trying to budget. OK, so this is all leading up to the perfect find today. I was at the store today and found an Aunt Millies (local) Organic Flax Seed Bread on sale. Yeah. I was so excited. The packaging was minimal and it is ultra healthy and actually tasty. When I told Kevin about this exciting find, he simply rolled his eyes at me. Maybe when my children are older, I will find more exciting activities, but for now the grocery store is the highlight of my week.
