bright sparks - first of all I want to say I think it is great you feed your family and daycare kids all organic. I just wouldn't be doing it if it was costing me a pile of money.

The thing is those of us that don't aren't bad providers or bad people. Yes I do serve a lot of processed foods but there are a lot of fresh items as well (fruit/vegies). I am trying to change my ways but growing up my diet consisted of macaroni and ground beef most days. I myself have never tried a variety of different foods and would be considered a picky eater by most. I don't cook something I wouldn't myself eat and I don't even know what to do with majority of it (and if I try it usually turns into a disaster - just ask my husband lol). I am trying and thanks to pinterest have lots of ideas to choose from.

Good luck with cutting back on your expenses. Like I also suggested before this all turned into an organic food issue what about cutting back on crafts etc.
