Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa is voluntarily recalling specific Julian dates of shell eggs produced by their farms because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis or arthritis.

Eggs affected by this recall were distributed to food wholesalers, distribution centers and foodservice companies in California, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. These companies distribute nationwide.

Eggs are packaged under the following brand names: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps. Eggs are packed in varying sizes of cartons (6-egg cartons, dozen egg cartons, 18-egg cartons) with Julian dates ranging from 136 to 225 and plant numbers 1026, 1413 and 1946. Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton. The plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. The Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P-1946 223.

There have been confirmed Salmonella enteritidis illnesses relating to the shell eggs and traceback investigations are ongoing.

Consumers who believe they may have purchased these shell eggs should not eat them but should return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. This recall is of shell eggs only. Other egg products produced by Wright County Eggs are not affected. Consumers with questions should visit www.eggsafety.org.

My husband and I constantly go back and forth on who looks most like our daughter. I say she has my eyes, while he says she has his nose. The debate goes on and on (all in good fun, of course) until we agree it is a 50/50 split.

When I found out about My Heritage Baby Look alike Meter I just had to try it out…once and for all I was going to see who our daughter looks like more.

The Baby Look alike Meter is free to use and only takes a few minutes. Just register and upload pictures of mom, dad and baby (doesn’t have to be a baby either- we used a toddler picture).

In no time the results were in…

My little girl looks more like me by 4%!!! Yay!

I have known about SwagBucks for the longest time, mostly from mommy message boards were everyone raves about their points and how much money they’ve made (amazon gift cards).

It wasn’t until this last month that I signed up myself, and now I’m wondering what took me so long.

SwagBucks is free to join and your earn points (or swagbucks) when you use their search engine to search for stuff you do anyway.

When you have enough SwagBcks you can start to redeem them in the Swag Store- Currently a $5 Amazon GC is 450 bucks, really not that many considering you usually earn at least 10 at a time (no limit to how many you can earn in a day) and you start out with a bonus.

It’s free to try out and those SwagBucks add up! I am already saving my Amazon gift codes for Christmas
