Dislike:
Isn't it odd that upon stopping at a local farmer's market, one can find produce that is sold in the stores. For example, Bing cherries from Washington. Didn't you know you were in Colorado, Mr. Fake Farmer. This morning at a farmer's market, I routinely asked if the items were from Colorado and to my surprise many of them were not. Many where flown in from other states and the exact items you can find at the grocery store. They are items of produce that I usually buy when I go to King Soopers and such. I find this odd and puzzling, isn't the point of going to a local farmer's market to buy fresh, LOCAL, in-season produce. One would think. At least Alivia still enjoyed the experience, and we did get some local produce at a really great price.

After the farmer's market, we took a little walk to a gluten-free bakery to pick up some vegan, wheat-free bread (some day I plan to try to make vegan, wheat-free from scratch but that day wasn’t today) and found that they sell day-old bread at a discounted rate. Yes, please!! It's all going in the freezer anyways. We are on an extremely tight food budget (after several high/crazy monthly food bills and Ben working less hours this summer because of an additional employee at his work) but still make it a very high priority to buy mainly high quality whole foods. I will take discounts anywhere. :) Then as we were walking back to the car, we stumbled upon a charming Old Colorado City home that was having a yard sell. We picked up this set of 6 cute wooden puzzles for Nolan (of course Alivia will play with it also) and two books/combined puzzle and games for Alivia for $6. The wooden puzzles come in a little stacker and it is pretty adorable. We plan to give this to him for his 1st birthday, which reminds me I need to start planning for that. :)
