I buy as much organic as I can. There is just no way I could home school. I just don't have it in me. Plus the elementary school is at the end of my ock and one of the best in town.

I got 120 'Mmm! Love that whole-grain crunch!'

Don't think I'd call myself 'crunchy' though, it sounds a bit crusty or something

I'm mostly a cloth nappying, baby wearing, bf'ing, blw'ing, co-sleeping, vegetarian mama. We're growing our own veg too Didn't have a home birth but would have opted for one if we hadn't been on a boat / it wasn't my first. Don't know if I'll have one next time as the last was horrific...!

I got sprinkled with granola ha ha... but thats ok, I dont consider myself a natural parent anyway... I used washables until she grew out of them and I like the slings etc... I like trying to eat healthy and if I had the space i'd totally grow alot of veggies etc!

 

[kirsten1985]

Mmm! Love that whole-grain crunch!

Never considered myself crunchy!

I couldn't breastfeed due to long lasting complications, but would have done, I use washables, eat organic and am vegetarian, will be doing BLW, use homepathic remedies, avoid the docs like the plague, love my sling, hate any make up and enjoy co-sleeping for naps and when we have a man free bed!

Must say though...not going to give up shaving!

 

[Pyrrhic]

I'm pretty crunchy

Breastfeeding - Got to 6 months.

Homebirth - not with Niamh but was in a midwife centre rather than a full hospital. Homebirth next time.

Natural birth - yep

Hypnobirth- yes, but not fully

Cloth nappies - yep

BLW - yep - love it!

Baby wearing - yep, love my moby!

Gentle discipline - yes (for personal reasons)

Co-sleeping until 3/4 months

Homeopathy - yep

Organic food - yes, but also locally grown from local suppliers. I believe in supporting local and british farming over bringing in produce from abroad.

Bab signing - yes

vegetarian - I am, yes but will be giving Niamh meat



My idea of absolute heaven is having a small cottage in the middle of the Highlands and living there with my vegetable patch, a few acres of land, some chickens, a cow and a pony for the kids I am such a country bumpkin, but don't think I qualify as a hippy!

 

[ryder]

ohh definately, if we get the farm we want im going to have chickens... There is nothing better then fresh eggs from freerange chickens, they have the best taste.

 

[Pyrrhic]

Yep, fresh eggs and proper frothy creamy milk from a cow sometimes ( although I don't fancy her having calves too often )

The sort of place where if you leave your windows open at night you just hear the wind and the owls, and you just have acres and acres of space and woodlands. A proper garden too, with loads of wildflowers. A country kitchen with a proper aga....

I'm putting my order in now

[ryder]

wow those cottages are so gorgeous, that makes me want to move to scotland or ireland LOL!

 

[kirsten1985]

I'd love to live in a little cottage like that, we have chickens (Bellatrix, Bruce and Narcissa!) but live in a town so it's not the same. I'd love to live in Yorkshire or maybe Herefordshire in the middle of nowhere.

 

[Shifter]

My parents live in a beautiful cottage in North Yorkshire where they have horses and are contemplating getting chickens. I know I am biased, because I grew up there, but North Yorks really is the best place for countryside This is pretty much the view from their lane:

 

[ryder]

gorgeous, shifter! Such beautiful places. And its so different from canada.

 

[Blob]

Mine is 'Mmm! Love that whole-grain crunch!' Totally didnt think of myself as a crunchy mum We have our ducks for eggs, chickens etc (we have free range chickens etc as a job) we're going to get sheep and cows soon too... and we have veg patch..no way i'd become a veggi though as i loooove the meat too much

 

[Blob]

This is the view of our house and our chickens in their nice homes, though our ducks live with the dogs

View from our field.

[Logiebear]

I am pretty crispy apparently lol.

Love my baby wearing!!!

 

[Blob]

I had totally never heard of this before

 

[ryder]

gorgeous blob! is the green building an indoor riding arena?

 

[butrfly]

wow. i didn't even think i was veering towards natural parenting...

Pretty crispy!

i co-sleep and babywear and tried my darndest to breastfeed (and failed ). i also considered water birth.

 

[AnnaBanana9]

According to that quiz I am "Pretty Crispy!"

I do parts of natural parenting, but not all aspects. I'd never consider a homebirth for myself, as I'd rather be where all the medical equipment is if something went wrong. I use cloth diapers, herbal/homeopathic remedies but I still regularly see a doctor.

What's shaving got to do with being a natural parent? I barely shave, but that's not by personal choice, it's that I'm too frikkin' tried to be bothered!

Everything Tyff wrote goes double for me! Love that I scored "Pretty Crispy" We use a comlination of cloth and dispoable diapers, I breastfeed, and we often use a baby carrier. I'm also WAY too exhausted for this shaving business (luckily I don't have very hairy legs and the hair is quite fair )
