Interesting reading. I'm on the side of home cooking with all fresh foods, never will KD touch the lips of my dckids in my home when 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of macaroni cooked for several minutes and mixed with shredded cheese is healthy, easy and delicious - and sodium-free! I answered several pages ago that I'm a partially organic daycare so I agree with a lot of brightsparks' posts. We have hot dogs once or twice a year, but we have sausages a couple times a month. When my children were small I thought buying the chicken weiners were healthier until my son bit into one and had a chicken feather in his mouth. ALL the chicken parts are in there, yuck!

I run weekly themes and we only make one craft/week to match the theme I'm teaching. I throw away all the coloured & painted pages usually to give the parents a break. I've cut way down from all the crafting we did when I was new at this.

As far as sunscreen, I buy organic - Green Beaver and I collect $5 from each family in the spring to buy the sunscreen for the season, one bottle at a time so they don't send in 5 different bottles. I'm loving this system.
