According to http://www.urbandictionary.com, a person who is crunchy has "adjusted or altered their lifestyle for environmental reasons."

I don't really consider myself crunchy at all and my ICAN buddies call me the mainstream mom in the group. But after our conversation, I realized that out of that list above, I breastfeed, baby wear, co-sleep, recycle, grow my own herbs and vegetables, joined a csa for the first time this year (but am a frequent visitor to the local farmer's market), use natural cleaning products whenever possible and am attempting to make my own baby food this time around and have been dabbling in natural food dyes. Maybe I am pretty crunchy afterall.
What about you, are you crunchy? What are some crunchy things you do?

oh yes. vegetarian, diy laundry detergent, baking soda and vinegar always on hand, trying to grow tomatoes on my apartment balcony. I've accepted my crunchiness.
ReplyDeleteI breastfed, tried for natural birth, cloth diapered for a bit, baby wore...hmm, all these things are in the past since my kids are older, lol! I did vaccinate and circumcise which clearly removes my crunchy card!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I suspect that when I have kids someday I'll be more of a crunchy mom... lol Not entirely, but I'd like to adopt a lot of those traits.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely crunchy--breastfeed, make my own baby food, cloth diaper, non-vaccinating, baby wearing, alternative medicine, food growing, etc. I think a crunchy lifestyle often calls for a little more creativity and I think that's kind of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteThat meme made me laugh, by the way. The last one is exactly what I look like when I grocery shop. I feel so bad for the poor cashier when I put all of my reusable bags on the conveyor belt...:)

haha love this. i'm semi-crunchy - i'm a vegetarian, try to use reuseable grocery bags, recycle, and grow my herbs. so that's a decent amount of crunchiness, right?

We did a natural birth (the second time around), babywear, breastfeed, didn't circumcise, joined a CSA, have a rain bin to collect rainwater to reuse, try to use reusable grocery bags (if I don't forget), and I'm interested in learning more about natural cleaning products...
