Let me tell you, from the first scouting meeting to filming the actual trailer, it has been a blast. A trailer? IsnвЂ™t that just for movies?

One of my Free Ladies, Mimi Schroeder, suggested that I film a trailer for FOM. Selfie with the Mixed Bag Team during the FOM trailer shoot What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? So, on this Thanksgiving, when we will be feasting on turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pies, I raise a glass of wine (or wheat grass, take your pick) to my wonderful mother who taught me so much. And though I was sure IвЂ™d revolt when I was old enough, I find myself a lot like my hippie mom-well, not natural hygiene, but a healthy eater nonetheless.

It was bad enough to drink the stuff, but it got worse when I looked outside one day and saw the cat lounging in the wheatgrass tray! Yet somehow my mother was ahead of her times-not only did we kids take our daily vitamins, but we grew our own wheat grass which my mom dutifully cut, juiced and served to us. Now picture 40 years ago in small-town, rural Georgia вЂ“ wheat grass was something you feed the cows. In todayвЂ™s world, having a shot of wheat grass juice or going to yoga class would be considered fairly mainstream.
