moms visit

So my moms visit went well it was SO fun having her here! We went to the barn to see Gourmet (the horse I lease), Santa cruz to go hiking and to the Boardwalk to see the Sea Lions and we ended the day with Saturn Cafe (the best vegetarian restaurant ever!!!), Point Lobos, Big Sur, Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row. I think the best part was her getting to see how big Nova is getting! She is such a fun little one! She learned to clap while mom was here and that was pretty cool! She is very near crawling and stands up on everything!!
So on a different note we picked up our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which is where we get our vegetables from it is a farm called Live Earth Farm in Castorville about 30 min away. We pick up a box of Vegetables all grown at the farm every week! Today in our box we got lettuce, swiss chard, carrots, Romenesco cauliflower, apples, lemons, tomato juice, cabbage and Brussel sprouts, after a holiday break we were VERY much looking forward to fresh veggies straight from the farm! We also went to Trader Joes we are going to try and phase that out and slowly add more local things but for now we are about half and half and from Trader Joes we try and only buy the USA stuff!

I included a picture of this weeks groceries (on the left is the local veggies and on the right Trader Joes)!
