If I could stand up in sacrament meeting and bear my testimony about cloth diapers ... I WOULD!!!!!!!

I wish we made the switch LONG ago.

Kailey has pretty sensitive skin and we have always dealt with rashes on her since she was born. Its only been a few weeks of using cloth, but I am NEVER going back to the disposables again, we have not had one ounce of redness on her skin!!!

The best part, is when I am putting them on her and she smiles and tells me they are soft .... :)

I am going to take a video of them to post on here soon, because seeing is believing folks!!! The more people I can convert to cloth the better!!!!!!

Kristi has done it again!

72 hour kit building adventures.
Like most of you, when I thought of making a 72 hour kit ..... I shuttered ..... I'll admit it.
I didn't want to think that I might eventually need one, I thought it would take alot of money & time to put together and keep updated .... I was procrastinating ALOT.

But I knew I needed one.

Seeing the news on the earth-quakes in Haiti pushed me over the edge. The thought of not having any help for days or weeks on end and not being able to feed my child was too much for me so I bit the bullet and got 'er done.

GOOD NEWS --- it was not as hard as I thought, not as expensive as I thought, and OH my does it feel good to have them ready! They aren't completley done yet, there are still some things on my list to get, but for the most part they are good to go should we need them.

We used old gym bags that Davis had stashed in the storage room at first and while we were packing them we realized that all the zippers on these bags were broken and one of the bags had some mold action going (ewwwww) so I got on my favorite website KIJIJI and found us 2 good hockey bags on wheels for 15 bucks each.

The list of what is inside comes from the LDS website, they have a really helpful list there with lots of great ideas for what to put inside. Like with anything we had to adjust it to suit our situation (diapers and bottles for the baby(ies) preparing for the fact that its the middle of winter and freezing cold) so we made our adjustments and got a sweet list together and it only took me one morning of grocery shopping and dollar store shopping to get everything that we needed.

I was thinking of posting the list from the LDS website, but for some reason it wont let me "copy - paste" and I don't feel like typing it all out.

But if you just google - 72 hour kit list. a bunch of great stuff with pop up, the lds website is near the top and the best one that I found, but there are other great ones on there too.

Moral of the blog story for today is for me to encourage all of you to start thinking about a 72 hour kit! Heaven forbid we should ever need one, but there is something to be said about being prepared right? If you do have one allready let me know about yours, where you store it, whats inside, how often you rotate the stuff inside etc ... Im all for new ideas!!!!

buzz agenting

Wow, I have been blogging alot latley. Im on a roll! One more thing to say though! You may remember a while back that I was doing this "buzz agent" thing. ( www.bzzagent.com ) Basically they sign you up for free products in exchange you tell people about the stuff they gave you. Word of mouth marketing. ANYWAY. Last week they sent me a coupon for a free case of Danactive. They also sent me a huge pack of dollar off coupons, if you want one let me know!!!!
So after trying out the drink, here is my list of pros and cons;

-Con- it's a little small, and while not too expensive ( about $1 a bottle, its not really cheap enough that I would make it a regular part of my dietary life. (I'm cheap, what can I say)
-Pro- Taste wise, its great! really tasty!
-Pro- It is nice and small (which I know I said was a con) but it would be really easy to pack this for a lunch, or toss it in your purse (or diaper bag) for a snack. So in that way its really convieniant.
-Pro- really healthy for you.

Health facts -

- each bottle contains 10 billion L. casei probiotic cultures.
- probiotic cultures help your digestive system to fight of infections and sickness
- on their website ( www.danactive.ca ) they have a list of 24 differant studies that they did, showing how this drink helped to strengthen the immunity of the body. Flu season is still upon us, so it might not be a bad idea to drink back a couple of these bad boys!!


So long story short, what I am trying to say is that I really liked the drink, and while it may not become a daily event for me, I can see myself buying these occasionaly for trips or outings when I want a healthy little snack to bring along.

Like I said in the begining, they gave me a stack of dollar off coupons to give out to friends. Please take some from me!!!! Its a big stack and I cant use them all before they expire. ALSO they gave me some contest codes to give out to my friends, to win a year supply of FREE danactive drinks! Even if you dont live close you can still do this one, I can just scratch off the number on the card and email it to you and you can go to the website and enter it in there!!!! It would be really fun if someone won because of me!

Well, I found this great idea on www.make-baby-stuff.com which was to find a great picture and bring it to this one website where they will expand it for you and then you just print it out on your computer. Its totally free (which I love) and easy (also I love that)

So I picked out a few wonderful pictures that I would like to have blown up on one of Kaileys walls. I need some votes on which one is best. The colours in her room are mainly, peach, green and pink. Which one do you like best?

I like them all for differant reasons, so I am having a hard time deciding which one to do.

Anyway, can't wait to see what this looks like! I will definetly post up some pictures when its all done.

Just in case you did'nt see it on face book .....

Just in case the facebook grape vine hasn't reached everyone!!!
