What does Half Crunchy mean?
According to Urban Dictionary "Crunchy" is defined as "green, environmentally friendly."
According to the blog A little Crunchy, "crunchy parenting" encompasses all things listed here, plus a few more.
...This is why I now refer to myself and our lifestyle as "Half Crunchy." We do, or at least attempt to do, about half of the things on the list. Some of the things on the list are new to me, like babywearing (which I now love!), others I aspire to do (Travel Green and Organic Gardening), and others I don't see myself doing in a million years (homeschooling), but then again, I said the same for co-sleeping...
So now that you know the reason behind the name, I would like you to meet my cute little half crunchy family.
My Fiancé, Arek, and little munchkin, Maksym.
The munchkin and I.
We are in desperate need of a good family photo.
In the first breaking news story of this blog, Maks got a new highchair! For weeks I was sure I needed a $230 highchair I read about on a blog. Thankfully, just before purchasing it as my Mother's Day gift, my sister told me that all her friends swear by the Ikea ANTILOP highchair. I researched it as soon as I got home, and found not a single negative review. We were off to Ikea to get one ourselves and...
We LOVE it. It is easy to clean (I have already sprayed it off in the shower twice when it was too far gone for wiping). It is very light weight. I can carry it in one hand with Maks in the other. It is table height so once we get rid of our bar height table, hopefully soon, he can sit right up to the table with us. Its simplicity is what makes it so perfectly functional.
Here are some pictures of Maks testing out his new digs.
I'm not sure how crunchy Ikea really is, but like I said, I'm only half.
