Five Year Old Eats Greens!

Like most moms, I am used to sneaking greens into Genevieve’s meals, or bribing her to eat her veggies.  Lately, however, the lil’ five year old has been munching on kale and spinach leaves (plain!) and begging for Hulk Smoothies.  I really am quite perplexed and ecstatic.

The Hulk Smoothie

The Hulk is one of our newest smoothies and some of you are already "in the know".  I am completely hooked.  So much so, that I had to capture the ingredients on my shoot today.

Kinderhook and Hawthorne Valley Farms

This time on our visit to Kinderhook, we toured the farmstay, where you are invited to rent from May til October.  It is a great getaway to relax and soak in the beautiful scenery... oh so tempting...

Hawthorne Valley Farm was another stop, where we enjoyed perusing the Farmer's Market, complete with bio-dynamic products and local produce.

The girls never grow tired of interacting with the animals and we are continually in awe of the dedication of these eco-friendly farmers.

Kinderhook Farms

Yong and I, with our daughters, were off to Kinderhook farms Sunday. I had quite a romantic notion of the place, and so did the girls as they squealed about the cute animals.  It was an idyllic scene: the typical big red barns and momma cow at the fence.  Little baby lambs mewing about and one allowed us to pet her.  But I was somewhat dismayed when an intern said the last word she would use to describe the farm was peaceful.  Working on the farm was apparently no cup of tea.  These people toil long and hard to take care of these animals.  I am reminded of how little we actually think about where our food comes from...

The rooster crowing always takes me back to dad's rooster, crowing every hour in the night. Did he know it wasn't morning yet? Was he lost or complaining? Was he looking for his maiden? The neighbors of Closter, NJ wanted answers.  Like, why does he have chickens in the middle of suburbia?
