Anders Family: Our little Mermaid

Our little Mermaid

Maddie is in the middle of her second swimming session and she is doing amazing. She is basically swimming, only thing left is the breathing. She has a great back stroke and is working on diving. She still manages a few belly flops but we are so proud of her. Not once has she complained about our 9 am lessons (but I have)

Here she is using her strokes to get to her coach, who by the way she has a little crush on!!

If you know me, you know I have a fear of my children drowning and I am so glad to have her learning.

Green Tips

"The Dirty Dozen" I know that organic foods can be really expensive but here is a list of 12 items that carry the highest level of residue, pesticides and other dangerous contaminations. Apples, Cherries, Grapes (imported Chili), Nectarines, Peaches, Pears,Raspberries,Strawberries,Bell peppers,Celery ,Potatoes,Spinach. Even after washing these items still hold on to bad things. If you can buy organic for these items. If you can't at least buy a good vegetable wash and really follow the directions( leaving it on for several minutes)
"If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars."
I have been trying to change some simple things to make our family more "Green" I think we should all try to work at making our earth and our families a little more healthy. I am going to try to post simple household tips that I find in my own journey. I hope you will try some of them out.
