For my hour, can you go to the NICU and hold newborn babies. Be a cuddler or whatever they are called?<br /><br />Once the kids get in school full time (both of them) I want to pick one day out of the week, maybe two to hold NICU babies.

The little ones and I are vegetarian and the other 3 are not. While this can make for problems when trying to feed everyone the same things, I have incorporated more veggies at dinnertime and if they don't like it then they don't eat, same goes for the little ones.<br /><br />I do our grocery shopping for under 100 bucks, under 90, shute yesterday it was 82.00 exactely. <br /><br />ok I am rambling. but on the topic of helping others, have you considered helping at your church? Maybe babysitting on a Sunday, that can help a lot of people at one time. Or going to an old people's home and helping there. I think it is awesome to want to help, but don't spread yourself too thin. You do have a family that you help all the time. :)Melanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167151300858497228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-23418202663406542902010-01-19T12:19:45.141-05:002010-01-19T12:19:45.141-05:00I think that's a great idea!

People need to know this. <br /><br />I am in the deepest depths of po-dunkville (yes, even deeper than SOMD), but have had great luck with www.localharvest.org In a few key strokes I have fresh goats milk, grass fed beef from a closed herd and several "local" co-ops. I have also met a few like minded people (and a lot of Mennonites). While I can get next to no organic food here, I can get transitional and natural foods in season (damn winter!).Muliebrityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501330973510257985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-22248644713763622442010-01-19T11:42:05.039-05:002010-01-19T11:42:05.039-05:00I think it's very admirable, but I won't h...I think it's very admirable, but I won't hold you to it. <br /><br />89 hours is a lot. <br /><br />I mean...<br /><br />That's TV time. ;)Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886089228538677690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-9618791782173875732010-01-19T10:48:34.735-05:002010-01-19T10:48:34.735-05:00I saw that guy on Bill Maher..excellent info and m...I saw that guy on Bill Maher..excellent info and message..I have'nt read it yet..Im so behind in reading..but I agree its so unaffordable to keep up with..just a little here and there will contribute..but I guess we all need to do something wherever we can..Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026109701609348319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-28945074247840826032010-01-19T10:07:55.008-05:002010-01-19T10:07:55.008-05:00Check out some articles and blog on "organic ...Check out some articles and blog on "organic on a budget" You'd be amazed at what you can do on a budget. Just one thought, buy meat when on sale and freeze it.<br /><br />Read the book, you might get some ideas on additional things you can do without breaking the bank. <br /><br />Here's my unasked for two cents...you're already feeling guilty that you're not doing more, so read the book, get some ideas, do a little bit more, read some blogs and articles and then you'll have done a lot...you'll have read the book, ridded yourself of some guilt and gotten some new ideas :)AudreyOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674641559102984186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-50704044130888512832010-01-19T09:59:38.695-05:002010-01-19T09:59:38.695-05:00You write about one of my greatest struggles-knowl...You write about one of my greatest struggles-knowledge vs. action<br /><br />It's so hard to be aware of things and then feel as though it's impossible to do enough.

Like it, but dont love it---too many facts for me. However, I would highly recommend Barbara Kingsolver's, Animal, Vegetable, Mineral.
