I've gone crunchy

I am not quite granola, but I may just get there. We cloth diaper, and love it. We prefer organic food (but locally don't have a great selection), also to try and make more food homemade rather than rely on the boxes alternatives. I don't buy sandwich bread. I make our sandwich bread, bagels and challah (it's the perfect breakfast bread!), granola, and even about 25% of our yogurt. It would be more but I just need to get a larger maker, the 4 jars don't carry is far. Lol.

Sometimes it can get overwhelming and we cave and have fast food or a can of ravioli but not often. But this is something I absolutely love doing for my family. Making meals, hanging in the kitchen with the girls and friends is just where I love to be. I feel like I thrive there.

Cloth diapering is an addiction. It's just it like it used to be! Once you get a good wash routine it really is a breeze!

We are also a baby wearing family! I have a carrier that we love! Tristyn has spent more time being carried (or spoiled according to some) than sitting in a stroller! I also love that my big tough Marine often volunteers to wear the baby!

The main reason we made these switches is because we didn't like what was being put into our food. Chemicals, preservatives and dyes that are banned in other countries. Artificial sweeteners, corn by products that perpetuate the over use, and over grow of corn.

This is the year we work harder to really get all that crap out of our house!

Right now I would say I am as crunchy as lightly miked cornflakes lol. Maybe one day we will be a bit more granola :)
