January 23rd - January 29th

Snow! Finally! Just enough for a little sledding and a little snowmanning - and not enough to cancel school, completely disrupt our weekend, or cause an Irene-reminiscent frenzy for bread and milk. And even just a few inches gave us just a little something *extra* this weekend - a little *extra* laundry, a little *extra* chaos in the mudroom, a little *extra* time cleaning up spilled hot chocolate in the kitchen. It's always something, isn't it?

Dr. Amy

Should You Buy Organic?
with Dr. Amy

Talk about sticker shock!! Some organic food is more than DOUBLE the price of the conventionally grown version. AND it is not as pretty AND it goes bad faster. So, when is it worth it to buy organic? What are the foods that you should always buy organic? Does it matter for my children's health? Who says it is organic? What is the difference between natural and organic?
