Thanks so much for your comment. I agree about the local issue, although I thought that a bunch of the things on my list of produce were local? I will have to look more closely. For me just making the change to organic has been a big mind-set shift for me and my husband, but as I continue along the path I hope to be more and more conscious of our environmental footprint as well. Thanks for reading.

It’s an ongoing challenge for me. The delivery service that you’ve chosen is great but when I went out to their website I noticed that many of their products aren’t local. There are local CSAs in Phoenix with delivery service (I also couldn’t manage the location pick-up) that use all local pesticide free veggies. Of course, you won’t get things like kiwi but you will get sustainable produce without the impact of shipping them from great distances.

All parents want to spend time with their children and you can quicly and easily find yourself in the middle of one big messy room. It sounds like you have a plan with your new household chore list. May, I suggest you try going another step further and include your child in deciding what he would like to help out with and add his name to those tasks on the household chore list. You might be suprised what he says. Then, watch his proud expression when he marks off his tasks as he completes them. This will encourage him to be responsible even at a young age.
