So here we are in the middle of the summer, the garden is almost at its prime. I LoVe this time of year! With my own garden and local farmer's markets, it gives me a little relief from my organic produce purchasing. For those of you who don't know me too well, I try to buy mostly organic-- Focusing on fruit, most veggies, lettuce, eggs and processed foods. I just feel better giving my kids macaroni and cheese when it is not filled with a bunch of stuff that I cannot pronounce. Although it took awhile, my kids have gotten used to it and I think appreciate me for it. On the other hand, at my friend's house this week they about drooled on the table when they were given Kraft macaroni n' cheese =) I started babysitting again, and it about chokes me when the kids don't like my "organic waffles" (amoung other things) and throw them in the garbage-- compared to Eggo, Kraft, or Yoplait, I suppose it does take some getting used to... Living on one income, buying organic can be frustrating and expensive!! When talking to another friend on the phone this week, she informed me her family of five lives on $80 a week in groceries- I was shocked, considering my bill is over $200! Being a wife and mother, we all have choices to make in regards to our family. The Lord has always provided for my family~ that I know to be true. I know I am making the right choice, but would like to hear what you have to say... any tips, recopies, or shortcuts would be greatly appreciated!! (fyi I also cut coupons and try to shop on "double coupon" days as well :)!!
