A few more answers to questions I have gotten on the blog or email
Yes, I use more natural cleaners. Method from Target or JR Watkins- love this one. I can’t stand heavy duty cleaners. I don’t understand when people spray all that stuff in their house and don’t think about how they are breathing it all in.
I use detergent from Costco, and I still use Windex on my granite counter because it is the only thing that takes away the fingerprints.
I try to use more natural products for my kids because they all have sensitive skin (including Eva) but I have let that go as they get older(ie I don’t make my 12 year old use Burts Bees). I don’t like fabric softener but my husband does so he uses it when he does a load, I never do.
Water is huge, we have a reverse osmosis system on our house and our last two houses as well. Clean water is a must.
I buy a lot of fruit frozen, because organic frozen fruit is often cheaper. I love frozen blueberries- I add them to yogurt or make smoothies.
Karen was right about buying from farmer’s markets. We have a great one here every saturday May-Oct in our little downtown.
So all of that said, we are not hard core. My kids eat fruit loops and fast food. They drink Jones soda and my oldest drinks Cokes sometimes.
I just try to make good choices when I can but not stress about the rest.
