After my month three update and a much delayed month four update, you may be wondering how things are going with the challenge. Or maybe you don’t give a rat’s ass. Either way, this will probably be my last update about the whole thing.

That’s right. This is my graceful exit.

I had a renewed sense of commitment after my month three update, but it was short lived. Simply put, I can’t hang. But I am pleased with our efforts and I think it was a good learning experience. And I am not going to stop checking or reading labels. Items made in America will continue to be my first choice, just not my only choice.

Although this family is finished, let’s not forget the family that inspired us in the first place. They are still going strong and are almost half way through the year!



And, oh look. The boys graduated from preschool.
