Bountiful baskets!

What could I possibly be so excited about that gets me up on a Saturday at 7am?




My friend Jillyn from school told me about this wonderful thing called Boutniful baskets. Every 2 weeks they bring a truck load (to each location) full of fruits and vegies and distribute it evenly in baskets for its members. I am now a member and after paying $15 for a basket I got....



9 Apples, 2 cucumbers, 1 pinapple, spinach leaves, 1 honey dew, 6 ears of Corn, 3 grapefuits, 3 tomatoes, 7 potatoes, 1 package of strawberries, 6 bananas, and 1 squash!




There was 1 honey dew and 3 huge things which were the size of Logans head, I couldn't figure out what they were, I was seriously thinking they were weird cantalops or mangos. When I cut it open they were HUGE grapefruits!



Logans head was barely bigger.









Logan is a little tired and overwhelmed by all the fuits and veges, he also is a little pist that his mom woke him up so early for fruit.


The website is bountifulbaskets.org and its $19 your first basket and the $15 every basket after that. They also have extra packages you can buy like homemade bread $10 for 5 loafs (whole wheat and I hear its delicious), every week they have a special extra package, this week was Citrus package (with a whole slat of different citrus fruits), mexican (Everything to make fresh mexican salsa), Italian (herbs and spices), etc. This was my first week but I'm sure I'll post all about it the next time which is 2 weeks from today!


There are dozens of pickup locations all around Utah and AZ, they open sign up Tuesdays and close Wednesdays and they fill up fast!

You are one crazy biatch! That is an awesome idea! I would totally do it if it was a basket of cereal and peanut butter.

I tried to show you my closet while you were here but you wouldn't come see my hangers! Biatch. I like saying that. I mean typing that.

Let's have another girls night. Tell Patty is was fun to have her and that Dozer misses her very very much.

I love logan.

bye.
