How do you make sure eight kids are eating what they should be and staying healthy, especially with the twins in school?
I pack lunches the night before so that I'm not too rushed in the morning. I also make sure to include them on what's going into the lunchbox. That way they are more excited in the morning because they know they had something to do with making that lunch. I am always thinking of ways that I can make lunch exciting. You have to change from pretzels to popcorn and just have a variety. I always leave a little note too. Packing lunches saves so much time and money.

You often talk about only serving your kids organic foods, so people always want to know how they can do that and save money on groceries?
When the twins were young I would just go to the grocery store and not worry, but when we more then doubled our family I worried a lot about how we would afford it all. It became my job to save money wherever I could. I started looking at sale ads and going into the stores for rainchecks if I needed to. I would stock up on things when they were on sale and find coupons by calling the 1-800 numbers on the packages of certain foods. You just have to stay organized and keep your coupons in a binder. My goal became never to buy something unless it was on sale. It's mind boggling how much you can save and you don't have to risk nutrition in order to save money either.
