Counting the Cost of Homemade Babyfood

So, it sounds great, right? Making your own baby food. How wonderful. Your child gets veggies and fruits and the like that have never been dehydrated...even organic for half the price if you wish!

It is natural, it is loving....it saves money!

It is also time consuming and messy....

But I love to do it! I honestly enjoy it....as weird as that may seem.

But for those of you who are considering doing it, count the cost my friends! You know that little Gerber plastic cup you have at the end of feeding your little one?

Well, when you are done making pears and oatmeal, this is what you are left with....

Not Me! Monday

So, that massive group of ladies I mentioned? Well, quite a few of them participate in Not Me! Monday. I think it is an awesome idea, and the rules are found here.

Ok, here goes!
1. Today, after Abby had been crying for a long time, I did not realize that she was in fact starving. She did not then proceed to down an 8oz bottle (following of course a huge bowl of cereal and a huge serving of green beans).

2. After she went down for a nap, I did not sit on the couch to eat a chocolate popsicle and write about what happened.

3. I did not go to switch the laundry from the washer to the dryer and find a dried load of clothes that had been sitting in there for two days.

4. I did not then proceed to eat another chocolate popsicle.

5. I have never skimmed on dusting by simply wiping the T.V. screen rather than the entire T.V.

6. I have never simply picked up the crumbs I could see on the kitchen and breakfast room floor rather that sweeping and moping both areas.
