A few weekends ago my daughter in law shared that she had been looking at several web sites to find recipes for baby products. She was interested in using ingredients that she knew would not hurt her children. Of course this is right down my alley and somewhere inside of me, I was doing the happy dance. I immediately volunteered to help her begin this endeavor. As that conversation progressed, she informed me that I was turning her into a hippy. After that our plan to meet for a weekend of making natural products for the kids would be dubbed, our hippy weekend.
This past weekend, we finally were able to get together to make baby lotion, diaper rash cream and some deodorant for us. In addition we made yogurt that was organic and GMO free, granola and we canned pickled squash. I also taught her to make corn bread, the way Big Mom taught me, and we made soup beans with a can of homemade sauerkraut. Of course we did all of this with the grand-babies under foot. This old hippy sure does have a happy heart.
