I have written blogs on both cloth diapering and organics but it was not at all my intention to preach or judge. If they came across that way I apologize. I wrote both of those blogs to give ideas on how to save money. I certainly don't buy everything organic, just a few things and the rest I wash w/ lemon and vinegar and cloth diapering is just a lot more affordable. Unfortunately, no matter what your choices are, you are bound to feel judged. I have always made "different" choices in my life and I never came across so much judgment as I have since becoming a mom, from family members to people on the street. (I actually had some 20 something coffee shop employee make some rude comment about my baby being too big to be carried! Was this her business?) I definitely try not to judge because I would like that much respect back. I think most people (there are exceptions of course) try to make the best choices for their kids given the knowledge and means at their disposal. Regardless, if anyone has taken my blogs as judgmental I am sorry and sad because that was not at all my intention. I started my blog because I felt judged and alone in my parenting choices.

Garage sales are a pain in the watoozie but the money does make it worth while! Before my son was born a lot of our friends gave us oodles and oodles of clothes and at first I was thrilled. But now that I am having to store 2T and 3T sized clothing and my son is barely 2 months old, I'm thinking that they cleaned their clutter and generously gave it to me!! Ha ha! I hope you had a fantastic Mother's day! I have been on a clutter-cleaning-binge lately too! Garage sales are a pain in the watoozie but the money does make it worth while!

I have to go through it at the end of each season because it's just overflowing. It's time to get the winter stuff out of there and figure out what they can't wear anymore.

Getting all that stuff together is a bear, but once garage sale day came I was more than happy to wave bye bye to the clutter and hello to the cash. And baby stuff always goes so quickly! Congrats on Max pulling up! That's so exciting! I know what you mean.

And I guess I slipped on the non-judging and getting along thing because I actually wrote a rather long nasty comment on a breastfeeding blog.... I didnt mean to I just snapped when i saw a cartoon implying that my child was incapable of love and some kind of scary damaged goods. So I am positive I know what has upset you. So if anyone sees my tirade of a comment please forgive me I am tired and sick and no i am not normally a mean mommy (and I did edit out alot of the comment that was truly mean) I promise. ckcramer… you are doing a greatjob and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
