We eat mainly organic, I cook from scratch and use cloth diapers...but that is also what my mum did. I have been keeping chickens so my daughter can see the cycle of weeds and scraps to feed chickens, eggs from chickens, then cleaning the coop and using as fertilizer on the veggie garden.

Been a fan on facebook of Barefoot Books and Mothering for years. Been eating organic since my 20s and purchase locally grown produce from the farmer's market. Our family has just changed our eating lifestyle to plant-based since Dec '12. And we use natural products for our home wherever possible.

I miss Mothering magazine and hope that it returns as electronic magazines are now more accessible and popular due to tablets.

Instead of disposables, I use cloth diapers and make my own nursing pads. I try to use natural products whenever possible, like baking soda and vinegar for cleaning. We also enjoy a diet rich in whole foods and receive a box of produce from a CSA once a week.

My family used cloth diapers while my child was in that stage. I make a lot of our meals from scratch and mainly eat whole foods. Last year, we joined a CSA. This year, we started our own garden and compost. We shop at the farmers market when time allows. We constantly recycle. We also try to use natural cleaning products whenever possible.

Cloth diapers is by far the thing I would have never thought I would have done as a child. Eating organics and staying away from processed foods is something that was always a priority in our home growing up. We grew most of the veggies we ate, but my mom didn't use cloth diapers and no one in my family did. I didn't really even know how far they had come until I was pregnant with my first.

Our family of four lives in a yurt, without many of the daily conveniences. We have a composting outhouse and recently built our water system by tapping a spring close by. It has yet to make it's way to the yurt, but soon we will have running water! (We've lived this way for almost 4 years). Our kids are experiencing a different way of life, and we hope they have a better understanding of their resources when they are older.

Thanks for doing this give away, we love Barefoot Books!

I like both on Facebook! We use Earth-friendly household cleaners in our home. When I was a kid, my mom used bleach on everything! We also make a point to conserve energy and water, drive as little as possible, recycle, reduce, and reuse...all little things that I hope make a big difference!
