I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

Time To Get Out The Wheelie Cart.

It’s here! Farmers Market season officially begins this weekend, April 9th.

So, get your butt out of bed bright and early on Saturday morning and support those lovely local farmers/growers.  Pick up some fresh produce for your palate or a few green plants for the garden. It will be time and money well spent.
