OK, so I had quite a few people ask why Joe teases me for being crunchy. I don’t really consider myself crunchy and I personally think global warming is a bunch of hooey- but I do strive to be a good steward of all that God has given us on this beautiful earth.
-I do not use paper products with the exception of toilet paper, baby wipes and diapers. (I would have loved to do cloth diapers, but never had enough money at one time to invest in them and -God willing- we are done having children.
-I make pretty much everything from scratch and cook using whole ingredients as much as possible.
-I am a pretty hardcore recycler.
-The kids and I use all natural soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, etc.
-I do yoga.
-I was a CSA (community supported agriculture) member last year and would have LOVED to be one this year if we could have afforded it!
-In our old house, I actually had an indoor clothesline to air dry clothes year-round. No room in our current laundry room.
-I try not to eat much dairy or meat…not sure if this should count because, I am lactose intolerant and I have never really liked meat.
-I have more than one pair of shoes made from recycled tires, fibers, etc.
-I use earth friendly (which happen to be kid friendly) cleaners.
So, you tell me…am I crunchy, too??







Monday marked 2 weeks since the operation. Miles is doing awesome! He is back to normal during the day- playing, eating, napping, but at bedtime he is still having a little trouble getting comfortable and sleeping all the way through the night. We will have appointments next week with his Neurosurgeon, Plastic surgeon and his Pediatrician.
