Mommy's Little Helper

I talk about running a lot but if you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle then exercising and eating right go hand-in-hand. This leads me to a confession... I admit to being one of those strange people that actually enjoys shopping for groceries, that is when I can go solo and take my time. I read labels, check out new products and compare prices. (I like to get good deals.) However this scenario rarely happens. When my side-kick is with me, which is most of the time, I spend the time averting her attention from fruit squeezes & yogurt and attempt to explain to a 2 year old that it is not time to eat just because we are surrounded by food and that we have goldfish at home. This is why trips to the grocery store fall under the chore category. That is unless we are shopping at EarthFare. First off, I stock up on all my favorite dairy-free products, 2, I love knowing whether I read a label or not anything I pick up will have no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sweeteners, fats (high-fructose corn syrup), growth hormones, etc, but the real reason it is a pleasure to go there is they have these shopping carts!    Focused toddler = Happy mommy
