Spotted! Another babywearer!

I went to the Dekalb Farmer's Market today and got a tom of delicious organic produce, organic grass-fed beef, and free range chicken. Yum. It should make us feel significantly better than the slew of fast-food restaurant burgers we've been eating.

While there, I ran into several people who commented that they wore their kids (one guy in full Native American dress - very cool) and I even ran into a fellow babywearer! It was the highlight of the trip.

With summer arriving, it's a great time to support your local farmer's market*. You can find one near you at Local Harvest

And don't forget the "dirty dozen" foods you should buy organic. Here is the updated list from the EWG:
