What is our world coming to??? Why do we have all these chemicals in our foods that are said to be causing cancer, early puberty and obesity?? I don't understand it! It's seriously disgusting! And super frustrating for this momma! I'm trying to feed my kids as healthy as I can, but it's so hard! They charge SO much for "organic" food! Way too much on an almost non-exsistant income family!
I planted my own garden this year. It was very VERY late to get in the ground, but I was determined. It was a very busy time for me, as I had just given birth to my little boy. But I was determined. So I planted. Planted zuchinni, tomatoes, and peppers. Way too much of all of them! They were coming out of my ears! I need to remember this for next year and not plant as much. However, my girls and I enjoyed picking what came in before the first frost. There's something completely fulfilling about picking what you've planted and cooking it for dinner.
Then I dabbled in canning this year. Somethign else I want to take up more of in the future. And I still to make and freeze my applesauce with my mom. A yearly tradition. Fun times in the kitchen with kids and apples!
I try and buy organic when I can. And definately picking choices of "farm over factory." If it comes in a box, I try to steer clear. Praying earnestly that my girls have a normal CHILDHOOD, where they can be CHILDREN!
