Going Organic!

After much reading, talking with Naty and watching too many documentaries......We're going 100% Organic. At the moment I'd say were about 50% there but our goal is to be at the 100% point by the end of the year. I want to start using natural products and being a lot more cautious for my family. Although the price of Organic is almost twice as much as Non-Organic, we think it's worth it for our family. I think if we ate less (like we should be eating) and gave up all the junk, we'd actually be saving money. Also, we'd be saving money on medical costs by getting healthy.

At the moment, we're growing zuchinni, cilantro, chiles, melons and tomatoes, our goal is to grow most of our veggies and fruit one day. So meanwhile, we'll look for Organic everywhere we go and slowly make the transition so it doesn't feel too pricey all at once.

Another thing that we'll be doing is reducing the amount of HFCS in our lives. I can't say that we'll eliminate it 100% but we're gonna try to stop buying so much processed stuff. I found this list that I can use when I go shopping but again, I won't be taking it out 100% that would be too hard and stressful to do at this time. Again, my family seems worth it so I'll do my best to keep them safe and healthy.

Things that we'll be doing are:
-Shop at our local Farmer's Market
-Shop at Whole Foods
-Shop at Trader Joe's
-Make stuff from scratch instead of buying canned

Those are some thing but we'll take it one day at a time

Here's another list that can help you save money on going Organic.
