reestablishing the flora

I'm still occupied with getting my little guy better so no Feature Me Friday today! Perhaps, tomorrow. Maybe I should change it to a Saturday feature...Or just get on the ball!
I really wish Adrian would get better already! He seems fine for parts of the day. He gets animated and talkative. Then, for other parts of the day, he's quiet and tired and snuggly. He has still been throwing up once a day for the past few days. I ran to the co-op the other day to pick up some acidophilus (per my chiropractor's recommendation). I had to ask someone for help because there were several different kinds but they all said 'keep out of reach of children.' The Health and Wellness guy told me he had something in the back for babies. I took it home, opened it, gave some to Adrian...and then, read the ingredient list. No acidophilus. Even though that's what I specifically asked for. Either way, it has plenty of probiotics and I can give it to him every day so it's good to have. Still, not what I was looking for. Then, I remembered that I had yogurt starter in the fridge. Sure enough, it has acidophilus! We'll have yogurt ready by morning, hopefully it helps my little guy! I also found some water with electrolytes at the co-op that I can give him instead of Pedialyte. No artificial colors or flavors. Woohoo! Bonus: it's cheaper than Pedialyte! Sweet!

Book Recommendation

If you are interested in natural and organic eating, I suggest you read the book In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. It was a very interesting read--for myself anyways, someone who is slowly making the switch to whole and organic foods.

I have to tell you that just a few short years ago (like maybe 2) I thought anything "natural" or "organic" was all bogus but I slowly started learning about it and now I realize that it's not so bogus after all! We try to buy natural and organic whenever possible. Of course, we can't eat completely organic right now because it does cost a lot more (something that I can understand and appreciate now as I continue to learn) but we'll get there someday! One of the things I look forward to most when we buy a house is having our own vegetable garden. After tasting fresh from the garden produce at my Mom and Dad's, you just can't beat that!
