Because we didn't give birth in a hospital, we are cloth diapering, baby wearing, even breastfeeding and that I'm a stay at home mom and for being so "difficult" when it comes to choosing products and toys for my baby. Even my mom thinks I'm exaggerating when I'm searing the Internet for days to find a green, nontoxic laundry detergent or buy the expensive organic fruits and vegetables. I don't judge people for there decisions, why do they? I'm just doing the best I can to do what I think it's best for my family and the ecosystem I life in.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025928169662831704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002354997398671912.post-45888424605399572602012-06-27T23:47:43.525-04:002012-06-27T23:47:43.525-04:00Great post!

I babywear (and yes I get stopped tons at the store asking what I was wearing and where to get it), we CD (which I just asked the OB Floor tonight if they have ever had a CD baby and they said nope! I sd well if I get pg again I will be your first! I work at the hospital) we have our first garden this year and would LOVE to live on a farm/acreage...our own personal goal as well. We are trying to simplify our life as we go along, but we also have 6 kids to try to turn as well. That wont be as easy. Good for you and your family!

I catch a lot of flack from my family and have so many doubters because we choose to do some things (not all things) differently than normal and because we are not always totally "conventional". I sometimes have a hard time not giving into the pressure, but like you I understand that most people react the way they do maybe as a bit of a defense. It's almost as if they take offense to our deciding to do some things differently. They might assume we think the way they do things is wrong. In all reality we're not knocking anyone--just doing things the way we think is best and we support anyone else for doing what they feel is right. Thanks again for this post!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13479169181010268293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002354997398671912.post-90214596154385791992012-06-27T19:44:23.653-04:002012-06-27T19:44:23.653-04:00Whatever makes you and your family happy!!
