I wanted to be one of those moms, too. It definitely did not happen. BUT I am getting better at making tasty meals for the 3 of us (even if parts of them are prepackaged or frozen). I never was much of a cook, but hey, I'm trying!daniii♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/16521884348163253629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-53211161396246514452010-03-29T16:11:34.865-04:002010-03-29T16:11:34.865-04:00I could never get into the homemade baby food thing. And although I had a brief moment where I felt bad I decided there's no point in feeling guilty about it. The kids don't care. And it's not like I was feeding them junk. They both ate organic baby food or pureed versions of what we were eating.Marilyn (A Lot of Loves)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06657908406859803924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-21222480095674291202010-03-29T15:39:19.342-04:002010-03-29T15:39:19.342-04:00No, I'm not "that mom" either. I remember my neighbour coming over with a prehistoric looking contraption, advising me that I could use it for making baby food. I thanked her and then slipped it into the recycling bin. She is "that mom" but I never shall be.

I tried, but, no, I was never really truly *that* mom. I used the cloth diapers for a few months then decided it was too much work. I made my own baby food for a while and then decided that was too much work too. And then I focused on just being who I was...and we were all much happier ;)Life As I Know Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09492465378321819342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-91030622704891982352010-03-29T14:32:05.394-04:002010-03-29T14:32:05.394-04:00I'm right there with you, sister. If it's gonna create more mess and the highly possible outcome that my kids wont effing eat it anyway, there just ain't no way in hell. I felt no guilt serving my babes Earth's Best baby food. And now feel no guilt serving them Gorton's frozen fish sticks. I know they're gross. But I serve them with steamed broccoli.Kamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17593911677156643002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-14313688801887084482010-03-29T14:27:15.421-04:002010-03-29T14:27:15.421-04:00Nope, I was never one of "those" moms. It never crossed my mind to even make baby food since Gerber already had them all prepared in nice ready jars.WhisperingWriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11051140760624657630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-54927233353981883652010-03-29T14:08:18.855-04:002010-03-29T14:08:18.855-04:00I never even tried. We are a jarred family...but as soon as it was feasible, I started feeding her what we were eating -- ground up. She likes it better anyway.Amber Page Writeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03288534853490787988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-11137698052922998952010-03-29T14:03:16.672-04:002010-03-29T14:03:16.672-04:00Many of my friends think I was "that" Mom but really I cheated. I made almost all of Ronin's baby food, partially because of cost though. I say I cheated though because it wasn't always organic and it didn't always start as fresh either. I've learned the glories of frozen veggies and still live by them to this day. He also didn't have the biggest variety of baby food. Certain things I always bought jarred because I couldn't pull them off. I looked at that same book and was in shock at the "recipes" never did I pull them off. I was great at sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, corn, pears, squash, etc. I made it in HUGE batches, 1 food a week. Now once we hit finger foods, hand me the peanut butter and the frozen bag of mixed veggies. I'm off that train.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00070968449089522109noreply@blogger.com
