it's kind of complicated for me. I certainly am crunchy and have this adorable family and life that is completely non mainstream. For example, we homeschool, I had an unassisted homebirth, we babywear, we dont vax or circumcise, we use cloth diapers (when elimination communication isn't working), we cosleep, Nick is the stay at home parent, I extend breastfeed, we use cloth products (including TP) natural products, whole foods etc.I feel like a poser whenever I want to wear an apron top or something patchy. I LOVE the way hippies look but feel kind of weird about looking like one myself. Like people will make assumptions about me or something. totally weird because I dont generally care what people think.

see that's my definition of "hippie" someone who lives by the "peace love and happiness" and is in touch with nature and lives as natural can be but around here the stereotype is pretty much, lazy, high, and a little on the eccentric side, so i made a made a stand and said i'm a modern hippy :P
