One berry, Two berry, Pick me a blueberry!




Stephen LOVES to eat blueberries - they are his favorite fruit, hands down. Arizona is not a state known for its blueberry production so they are very pricey if you buy them fresh. We get them on sale sometimes, but usually have to resort to the frozen variety. These are much messier than fresh blueberries. We have discovered that the generic brand has higher quality blueberries than the name brand - the name brand are squishy-er and make a bigger mess when he eats them ... it doesn't come off very easily either! It also so happens that one of our favorite books to read before bed is "Jamberry" by Bruce Degen. It is a favorite of mine from when I was growing up - my dad liked to read it to me. The text and pictures are both so fun!

I did a persuasive talk one time in my public speaking class in college on why eating a half a cup of blueberries a day will prevent alzhiemers when your old! If he can keep this up, he'll always have his mind!

Mmmm... I love blueberries too and just wish they weren't so dang expensive. We used to have a few bushes around our house in Washington- but even then the bushes can be hard to grow, they don't produce that much really, and the season is short:( They are so yummy though- they are just worth the effort and price sometimes!
