Hi I'm Harmony
and welcome to The LadyBugs daily blog. A little bit about me.... I
live with my boyfriend, Don Hapithus. He's a musician and goes by the
stage name, Happy Cricket. We have a son, Liverpool, who is named
after the hometown of our favorite band, The Beatles. Liverpool is a
bedbug from New York City who we adopted after the infestation left so
many bedbug children homeless. I know what it is like to lose my
family. I grew up on a farm and my parents and relatives were killed
be pesticides. As a result I am a staunch advocate of organic
farming. It's much better for people and bugs. If you buy organic
produce and find a bug in it, just gently place him on your windowsill
so he can find a new home.
REAL FOOD
The LadyBugs'
debut album is called "Sugar is Poison" and contains a song by the same
name. It talks about how important it is for kids to eat healthy
foods. This is something The LadyBugs are very passionate about. If
you want to improve the quality of the foods you serve in your home, I
recommend a book called "Real Food" by Nina Planck. The book is an
easy read and explains why processed foods are so bad for you. Nina
recommends eating food that's as close to it's original form as
possible.
KIDS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES
What if your
kids can't eat foods in their natural state because of food allergies?
Some kids have very life threatening allergies to certain foods like
peanuts, eggs and dairy products. Well, I'd like to recommend a book
called "Kylie's Special Treat: A Food Allergy Fairy Tale" by Letizia
Barbetta with beautiful illustrations by Wendy Sefcik. It's a story
about an artist named Kylie with severe food allergies who makes a
special treat for a baking contest that will be judged by a Prince.
Does she win the contest? Buy the book and find out. Thanks Letizia
for writing a book about this difficult topic.
