Suburban Hippie and the Boys

Archive for September, 2010

Wow, so it has been over a month since I posted.  I do hang my head in shame.  I really do have ideas of being a good blogger but I am so darn avoidant!  August has come and gone and I say good riddance.  It was toooo hot.  I honestly didn’t think I could take one more day of that heat.  It is finally tolerable in the low 90′s.  We have even had some rain and thunderstorms the last few weeks to add to the delicious weather.  I am so ready for fall.  I have my sweaters all ready to wear, as well as a few coats.  I hope it gets cold enough to wear them this year.

As far as suburban hippie life goes we are keeping on keeping on. The container veggie garden was not a success this year.  Reasons being was it was too hot to get out there and work and keep it watered.  Especially when you have a newborn who is as pale as they come.  We got a few things but mostly it was a wash.  I vow to be better next year.  Otherwise it is only good things.  We still shop at Whole Foods and are keeping up the organic thing,  I would say that over 90% of what we eat in the home is all organic and made fresh.  I have even started making Jude’s baby food.  He has only had prepackaged oatmeal, rice cereal and prunes.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to make and store.  Other good news is that we are recycling more than we are throwing away and cloth diapering is going well.  I love it actually.  I was skeptical at first.  Here and here are my posts about it on an old blog.  We have gone way past the 2 day experiment and into a full on lifestyle.  I hope to post much more about our choice to cloth diaper.  But for now I must see if sleep will accept me.
