I was talking to another mommy recently and we got on the subject of parenting and lifestyle choices. She said she wasn’t totally granola – meaning that she didn’t choose to all the slightly out there parenting things (i.e. cloth diapers, extended nursing, organic foods, not vaccinating etc).

I would take that analogy one step further and say that I am not granola or Gucci (Gucci representing main stream parenting ideas – i.e. cry it out, cribs, schedules etc). I guess that makes me Granucci. I choose some things that are not considered “main stream”, but am not willing to go to far the other way either.

I also tell people I have a bipolar diet. I buy organic fruits and veggies, but every once in a while you just need an oreo cookie!
