Organics
Recently I've really been making much more of an effort to buy organic produce at the grocery store. It's so hard to ignore all the stories on the news, internet, etc about all the pesticides and chemicals that are covering our food. We've also been using natural cleaners, homemade detergents, and other things to reduce our chemical waste and exposure. Anyways, I'm just curious what others are doing as well. What are some of the next steps that others have taken in this more natural approach to living and eating? I'm really excited for our garden to start producing our own vegetables and can also use the local farmer's market. I'm thinking our next step will be organic milk, but the tightwad that I am, I'm having a hard time thinking about $6 a gallon when we usually go through 3-4 gallons a week!

I know, the organic milk is a killer but I think it's worth it - especially for young girls to not be exposed to all of the growth hormones/randoms that regular milk might contain. On a sidenote, how are you liking the laundry detergent? I am thinking of doing it myself too, but want to be sure it works well!
Amy, I believe Meijer's milk is hormone free. I don't know if it is certified organic but I did notice on the last gallon I bought that it says it is from cows that are not given hormones! And its normal price!
Paulina-
I love the homemade laundry detergent. I feel it works great. I haven't been able to use it as much on the kids b/c Caroline has horrible eczema. I've had to keep them on baby detergent. I tried dishwasher detergent but didn't have as good of luck. I used the recipe Erin (heather's sister) used. I'll forward the link if you need.
Erin- I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
