I think the uptick in skin cancer is related to the changes in our food and the products (skin care, polyester, etc) that were introduced.

That's definitely a large part of it! There's so many different things introduced around this time that it's hard to pinpoint one thing. All we know is that none of it is good...

And the rollout of all of these things was SO fast. I’m now trying to reorganize/reprioritize things for my kids. Their health is everything & they’re the future ✨

You really have to unlearn everything and start from the beginning! Our ancestors are out ultimate teachers and hopefully we can pass on what they knew to the next generation.

Yes!!! I think the hardest part is getting the grandparents on board when it comes to buying the kids stuff 🤪🤪🤪

Ah yes! I can totally see that. I haven't had to face that struggle yet, but would love to know how you deal with that!

I typically try to find gifts ahead of time that are still fun for them to buy and give to the kids. 100% cotton clothing with characters on it, toys that I think the kids will actually play with. My MIL is pretty receptive & will typically send us what she plans on getting them ahead of time. She is also conscious of her spending so she doesn’t want to waste her money either buying something the kids won’t use. My dad on the other hand, kind of disregards our requests and I just tell him not to get upset if we only use the gift once then rehome it. I don’t like doing that but I also have put a lot of work into living a certain way and getting our young kids on board with it.
