Why: making it (helper)

Like helped too. He doesn't really like veggies... So he mostly supervises.

Why: Making it

There are many reasons that I make my kids baby food. It's cheaper, better for them, easy, quick, and I simply feel better about it. Also, please note that Hannah's carrots are orange.... And fresh. Same with these peas! I also know exactly what is in the food. I simply feel better about it. I try to make one fruit or veggie per week. It takes about 15 minutes to cook, purée and put in the container to freeze. I would spend at least that on the grocery aisle picking it out.

In my opinion... Worth it.

Why: organic

When Carson was born I made the decision to go organic for him. In the past 2 1/2 years I have received lots of questions and judgement. I guess I receive judgement for lots of things that I do. So this is going to be the first of a series of why I make certain decisions that I do. Right wrong or indifferent these are my choices.

There are lots of reasons I decided to go organic with Carson. It is my belief that in the past 15-20 years the quality of food has gone down. The fertilizers, pesticides and hormones are not good for the development of a small body, in my opinion. My husband and I do not really eat right. That is our choice. My kids are not able to make that choice yet. Until then I will continue to do what I believe us best for them. If I want to eat McDonald's (which I don't) that is my choice but it is something I will do on my own. Not with them.

I saw this great article come up on baby center which helps to outline the benefits of organic. I hope this helps you understand why I choose to go mostly organic for my kids!
