I'm a strong supporter of making education exciting through enrichment activities

This project is a very effective way to help learn to identify the Hebrew Alephbeyt.  Our children really benefit from this activity and I'm looking forward to making flashcards for Paleo Hebrew next.

I'm really trying to make effort to have 50% or more "LIVE" foods for each meal.  We are also getting closer to having the "LOCAL" foods available. Our growing season here is shorter than what I was accustomed to in the south, but successful gardening can still be accomplished.

The benefits of Live & Local food is extremely valuable.  Have you calculated your percentage of Live and/or Local food lately?  If you're really trying to incorporate this into your family diet, you may consider joining a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture:  (http://www.localharvest.org/csa/)

This is where we volunteer and get our local produce:

I recently went to the grocery store to buy veggies for a Mediterranean Golosh and as I picked up the squash, eggplant and peppers, I began reminiscing about the great times we had volunteering at our local nursery.  

In the next few weeks, I really want to start sowing our heirloom seeds so we can look forward to another great harvest.  I think it would be pretty depressing if don't take advantage of gardening and have to settle for the produce picked early and driven over hundreds of miles. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the market, yet I know there is MUCH I can do to prepare for harvest time.

Here's an oldie but goodie about overall conservation and health (the video includes local foods).
