Natural Fibers vs. Synthetic

A few reason I try to stay with natural fibers...

• My oldest son developed an allergic reaction to polyester when he was a baby... well I don't know if it was an allergic reaction, but he cried and was extra fussy whenever polyester was against his skin. There must be a reason he didn't react so well to it, and since then we pretty much stayed away from polyester for our children.
• My mother-in-law, who knows her stuff, has told me once and again that people should wear only natural fibers. She has more experience than me, so I trust her.
• In case of a fire, polyester can melt onto your skin… YIKES!! ... which increases the severity of your injuries.
• I don't know if there was a study done, but I have heard that arthritis is linked to polyester.

Happy Thrifting

When I go thrift shopping, there are a few things that I look for:

First, I look for colors and patterns that catch my eye.

Then I look to see if it's made of natural fibers:
cotton, wool, silk, bamboo, etc.

Vegetable Pie

I would tell you the original recipe that was in the cookbook,

but I added, took away, and replaced so many ingredients,

that I'm just going to tell you what I did.
