I am curious to find out what blog system you are using? I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest site and I’d like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any solutions?

Comment on Fewer Toys- I believe that fewer toys (and less TV time) during my childhood helped me to develop my imagination and encouraged me and my younger sister to learn to get along and become close. We didn’t have many toys that had buttons or made noises, so we had to use our imaginations more when we played. We didn’t ask for toys when we went shopping because we knew the answer would be “no”. Now that I’m married and don’t have the money for everything I want, it’s ok, I’m used to it. I can be creative and be happy with what I have .

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I just wrote a post on finding really cheap baking soda. http://www.mysuburbanhomestead.com/find-cheapest-source-baking-soda/

I hope you find it useful. Enjoy!

I very much enjoyed the article! I love to buy organically as much as possible, especially of the dirty dozen. My husband and I also practice Natural Family Planning (which is being aware of my fertility and abstaining that week) instead of being on the birth control pill, Depo-Provera etc. One thing I never understood is how someone can buy all organic foods so as not to eat chemicals and pesticides, yet they’re daily taking a pill or a monthly injection LOADED with terrible chemicals and synthetic hormones? Any thoughts??

Nourishing Traditions recommends starting to use it at 4 months, so I am sure you are perfectly safe to do so. Titus started around 6 months of age, only because I didn’t get my act together before then!

Hi Lindsay,
My vitacost order came in today! I was wondering at what age you started Titus on the ‘Children’s DHA’. Niyah is 4mos and I wasn’t sure if that is too young to start her on it. The bottle says to consult Dr prior to use of children 8mos and under. What have you done? Thanks!

So if you ever have reason to come to Corvallis (a bit far, I know), I’d love to have you give this talk to our MOPS group, too!

Amen, Lindsay! I have heard so many attacks on my practices because people assume it’s motivated by global warming or political beliefs.

We need to stand united in faith as brothers and sisters in Christ, a faith that leads us to action.

I am so encouraged by your bold (yet humble) professions on this topic.

Thanks!

I actually use homemade ones. I make them myself and sell them if you are interested in buying some from me. I do not use organic cotton ones, just cotton flannel and fleece. You can get more information on the ones I make at http://pureprovidence.blogspot.com/2009/09/mama-pads.html
I have not really done any research on the difference between the organic cotton ones vs. regular cotton ones, just that the organic ones are a little bit more expensive. I have never had any problems with using regular cotton flannel pads. Both of them are better and healthier for you than the chemically made store bought ones.
Right now I have 12 that I personally use and that lasts me about 3 days, changing them every 6-8 hours just like regular pads/tampons.

Christine and Lindsay, I was looking at the gladrags site and was a bit overwhelmed by the selection. How important is it to by the organic cotton ones? Which do you use and how many did you buy? I’d love to try them out.
