Rachel – that is awesome. I know what you mean, I often hesitate with letting them know what really in there unless they have the same reaction as your daughter!!

I need to send you a photo of the dining room table today – it looks fabulous (for once). I will not, however, send you a photo of the table in the breakfast nook. No.

You have berries already?! Ours are still waiting to ripen.

I have to tell this story about smoothies. Yesterday, I made a peach-banana-greek yogurt smoothie and poured my daughter’s portion. Then I added flaxseed meal to the rest for me and my husband. While I was rinsing the blender, my girl grabbed one of the glasses with flaxseed meal, took a sip, and declared “this is the best smoothie ever!” I hesitated whether to tell her but she took the news well and wanted flaxseed meal in her smoothie today too!

I can not get my kids to enjoy smoothies like your kids do….can I borrow your kids? Better yet, you can borrow my kids and have your kids teach them:)

From what I’ve gathered you place soil in a chicken wire-type basket covered in a moss material. The wire basket holds it all in place. I’ll try it and let you know.

I’ve been in the same situation before. It was awful. Bags and boxes of food ruined.

After I threw most of the food away–at least what wasn’t in cans–I washed everything down with bleach several times, including every can and plastic bin. Once I’d gotten rid of everything that could hide a moth or larvae, I set out a bunch of traps from Gardens Alive. They really worked. I was so paranoid of bringing more in for months I baked everything that came in a box in a low oven before I put it away in sealed plastic bins–cereal, pasta, grains. Eventually I got control, but it was a nightmare for a while.

May your pantry remain moth free.
