Crunchy Mom in the Real World

 One thing you might not know about me is my desire to be  a crunchy mom is strong.  -there was the elimination communication episode (IT WORKED OK! I get really mad about this one) * -The cloth diapers  -The replacing all the plastic in my house with glass jars  -the baby led weaning  -the baby wearing  -the breastfeeding  Success of these endeavors varies.  Then there were things that crunchy mom "should" do but I definitely don't want to:  -Skipping vaccinations (I'm pro-vaccinations don't start here)  -Honestly, after experimenting and failing, cloth diapers -co-sleeping (NO. I have enough trouble sleeping without worrying about suffocating my infant son or getting attacked by my toddler.)  Then there are the things I really want to do but can't swing, either because of expense, having to work, or being frum- (hard to be barefoot in the grass when you won't go outside without tights and closed toe shoes) like:  -eating all organic, preferably home grow
