Heehee. I got 66, pretty crispy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607797 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:25:21 +0000 Ra 607797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sprinkled! I'm actually pretty surprised by that. Sometimes I feel like I am not nearly crunchy enough to fit in on this site.</p> <p>-I want a medicated, hospital birth<br /> -I don't plan to cloth diaper<br /> -I only plan to breastfeed for 6 months or so, and definitely plan to stop once teeth are involved<br /> -I am not at all comfortable with breastfeeding uncovered in public, and always a little taken aback when others do<br /> -The thought of consuming my own placenta makes me want to vomit in my mouth<br /> -I plan to baby wear but only out of convenience<br /> -I don't plan to cosleep (although will keep baby in our room at first)</p> <p>It seems like my plans go against the majority of the hive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607559 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 06:10:42 +0000 MamaMoose 607559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: cool!

Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607488 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:19:13 +0000 MrsRoo 607488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so cute :)</p> <p>I actually surprised myself- I'm sprinkled with granola (57). I completely don't see myself as "crunchy", although I guess I lean more that way than any of my friends and family do. When LO is born in April, I'll be the first in my circle to even attempt breast feeding and cloth diapering, lol!</p> <p>Must have been the barefoot (I'm a born and raised FL girl, I hate shoes!) and the diva cup that really pushed me over into crunchy-ish ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607484 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:06:13 +0000 SAHM0811 607484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>84 - pretty crispy! </p> <p>that's right in the middle... seems about right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607478 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 00:53:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 607478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sprinkled! </p> <p>I think I'm "decently" crunchy. We are pretty environmentally conscious and try to eat as organically/naturally as possible. I didn't cloth diaper, and regret not doing so. At that time, I was thinking I'd be a WOHM and I wasn't sure I could handle cloth diapering w/working. With my next child, I'm definitely cloth diapering. I EBF for six months and although I went with purees in the beginning, we ended up doing mostly BLW. I coslept with LO in our bedroom for six months. We never use our stroller and baby wear using the Ergo as much as possible.</p> <p>However, we did sleep train awhile back - the lack of sleep was really getting to me. We vaccinate on schedule, I like to wear makeup, and I like buying LO brand new clothes and toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607463 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 00:21:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 607463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>123!!!!</p> <p>I am pretty decently crunchy. Knew I would be!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607454 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 00:05:22 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 607454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I've been using it for maybe 6 months? And I'm still on my first batch. It totally works. It's not an antiperspirant though, although it does help a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607406 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 23:17:37 +0000 Silva 607406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm whole grain crunch... It's funny how being in Vermont screws my perception. We are strong believers in things like vaccinations, as well as public school systems. But breast feeding, unmediated birthing, growing food, buying local/organic, cloth diapering, etc are all things we do and they are totally within the cultural norm in our area. I have never thought twice about doing most of those things, probably because we grew up that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607394 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 23:11:31 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 607394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>41 - sprinkled with granola :) thanks for sharing this - too funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607390 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 23:05:41 +0000 FarmWifeGina 607390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gotta love that whole grain crunch- 108 here! Whoop! Lol. Although, technically I'm gluten-free and practically grain-free at the moment, lol. I think I would have scored higher on the breastfeeding ones because I have pretty crunchy beliefs on all of those, but my poor boobs and their insufficient glandular tissue have never managed to exclusively feed a baby for 1 month, never mind 6. :( I definitely didn't set out to be crunchy and compared to a lot of moms, I'm pretty middle of the road, but I guess that's just the way I'm wired on all of these issues and it all adds up to being fairly crunchy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607372 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:51:35 +0000 runsyellowlites 607372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: This looks great! I'm definitely stinkier since having P &amp; I've always sweat like a teenage boy so I'm used to that, just not the stink. I've been wanting a more natural product so I'll definitely have to try it</p> <p>How long have you been using it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607317 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:07:58 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 607317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Okay, so I was super smelly postpartum (and still am, sad) and not only did the natural deodorants not work, my trusty Secret failed as well, so I make this kind: <a href="http://angrychicken.typepad.com/angry_chicken/2008/07/homemade-deodor.html" rel="nofollow">http://angrychicken.typepad.com/angry_chicken/2008/07/homemade-deodor.html</a><br /> but with arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch and with teatree oil as the essential oil. I don't smell anymore, so I'm pretty happy.

I think I may have scored unfair points because I'm too tired to shave my legs. It's not a philosophical thing, though ;-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607286 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:46:54 +0000 Anagram 607286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That barefoot/sandals/or socks and shoes question killed me. I mean, what about all the cold climate people?? Are they talking about inside at home, or going out and about?</p> <p>We don't wear shoes in the house at all (DH's culture that I've picked up), but obviously outside in winter we both wear 2 pairs of socks and shoes when it's cold. I'd like to see someone in sandals in the snow! ;-0 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607283 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:44:32 +0000 MarieJ 607283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sprinkled with granola (34) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607272 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:35:48 +0000 ninja 607272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sprinkled with Granola (30). Though I think most of that was on the makeup question. And I don't wear makeup because I'm lazy, not for any crunchy reasons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607263 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:29:32 +0000 Running Elley 607263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty Crispy! I scored 66. I think that's pretty accurate!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607196 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:46:51 +0000 pastemoo 607196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny. I surprised myself and got 131. High! I mean my mom has "flowers in her hair" and all but I didn't think I would be that high.</p> <p>I fit a few of the main points (BF, BW, CD)...barefoot... but I am very pro vaccine and my religion is pro circumcision.</p> <p>I do see myself as a "dirty hippie" compared to my conservative husband and his family but where I grew up I'm not even close to a hippie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-607140 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:07:49 +0000 rachiecakes 607140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>144, Super Nutty, Ultra-Crunchy, Granola Earth Mama - what?!</p> <p>but I wear makeup, shoes and shave every day! It's gotta be my environment rubbing off on me.

However, I'm totally crunchy to my group of mom friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-606697 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:12:18 +0000 Mrs. Twine 606697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And... surprise! Crunchier than grape nuts. I use Lafe's deoderant and really like it. You still sweat (which I think surpressing sweating isn't the greatest idea, anyway. There's a reason our bodies sweat!) but you don't smell. Or you smell nice still. As for the reusable feminine products-- don't knock it 'till you've tried it. They work really well, save money, are better for the environment, I can always be sure that I have the supplies I need on hand (like being on vacation and not wanting to try to find and hit up a grocery or convenience store for tampons or what have you), and for me anyway, it works better than tampons did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-606667 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:02:42 +0000 anonysquire 606667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol I just quizzed my DH and he scored 77!

I wont do a home birth. I a too terrified of something going wrong and not having a Dr. right there to help. Also, give me that epi baby. I am NOT that strong of a woman when it comes to pain! I refuse to co-sleep, too dangerous IMO, I wont be breastfeeding my 3 year old. Period. Vaccinations are a MUST for me. And sorry, but I wont be using reusable feminine products. They just gross me out. lol. </p> <p>I have nothing against crunchy moms! It just isn't me! I do agree, HB is on the crunchier side and I am 150% okay with that! I love seeing different points of view! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-crunchy-are-you/page/3#post-606573 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:22:08 +0000 Apex 606573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, who else is Jello, i don't believe i'm the only lazy one in here!!! </p>
