The folks over at General Mills recently contacted me about their Eat Better America initiative. They are trying to encourage folks to eat healthier, and be more active - two points I couldn't agree with more. The sun is shining, turn off the TV and go enjoy it! Go grill some fresh kabobs with veggies and fruit! (Try pineapples, peppers, and chicken, brushed with a little bit of sweet 'n sour sauce - YUM!)
Right now, General Mills is hosting a is having a $1,500 grocery giveaway sweepstakes for one lucky winner and 90 runner up prizes for a grocery gift card on top of it!

We did plant tomatoes but we always do that because there is nothing like a fresh warm tomato. The one thing we are (hoping) to do is go to the park more often. We have a great time when we get there, everyone gets plenty of exercise.
We planted a veggie garden and we are putting in a home orchard. We added to it by planting 20 grape vines and 2 blueberry bushes and 4 blackberry bushes.
