It’s All About Caring: Help the Earth, Help People

Going green is important, because it helps protect living things – people, animals, and the earth. Sometimes that protection can take a little extra effort, but I think we’d all agree that it’s worth it in the long run when we consider preserving the earth and all its inhabitants, so future generations can enjoy it the way we do. Anyone who has been touched by addiction knows that they long to protect addicted friends and family in the same way that we protect the earth. Living things are valuable and have dignity, and it’s important to help them in any way we can. NJ drug and alcohol treatment centers are an excellent resource for helping a loved one. Advanced Health and Education is just one of them.

Benefits of Treatment Centers

Treatment centers offer a safe, healthy, clean environment that can provide the support your loved one needs in order to see lasting, transformational change in their life. New Jersey addiction treatment centers offer medical professionals, a safe detox environment, counselors, and support groups, which are all essential to overcoming addiction.

Detox

Detoxification is often the first step in overcoming an addiction, and many clients need to have a safe environment in which to detox before entering into a long-term program. Detox specialists work individually with clients to ensure that their detox is healthy and safe. Detox is important, because often it can be dangerous to quit an addiction “cold turkey”. Drug withdrawal is a potentially life-threatening situation, so it’s important to trust the experts at NJ drug treatment centers when going through rehabilitation.

Treatment

NJ prescription drug abuse treatment centers have both short-term and long-term programs, just like alcohol and illegal drug abuse centers. Depending on the length of addiction and the circumstances in which the addiction began, experts can recommend a treatment plan that will help individuals overcome and experience lasting life-change. These changes are essential to living a fulfilling and responsible life, so don’t hesitate to learn more if you suspect that a friend or family member is struggling with addiction to alcohol, prescription drugs, or even illegal drugs.

Chellesations Natural Soaps

I was contacted by Monique who owns Chellesations and she asked if I was interested in trying out some of her natural soaps. I was sent 4 sample bars to try. Here is what I received.

NATURAL BODY, BATH- . Deep penetrating conditioner, natural soap bars, sugar scrub
, 
lotion, body wash, body butter, shampoo, muscle ache gel, lip balm, laundry soap, mineral 

makeup, and more. SHIPPING SEEM HIGH????? shipping is calculated by WEIGHT and 

DIMENSIONS. Any over payment above $2 will be refunded once products ship.


They were so pretty and when I opened up the box it smelled so good. The first bat that I tried out was her Blueberry Muffin. The smell was great and it lathered up nice and went on really creamy. It didn't leave a powerful smell on my skin and it was soft even the next day.

The second bar that I tried was her Ginger Orange. I put this one in the kitchen and it really gets my hand clean especially when cooking. 

The next bar is Rose Lily Ylang Ylang. This bar is very beautiful and it has flowers on the top of the bar.It is also very moisturizing and lathers really well.

The last bar that I tried was the cucumber Green Tea. This bar has a nice clean smell and I gave it to Brendan to use since it said that it was extra mild.

She is very nice and easy to work with. Make sure to LIKE her on FACEBOOK also to see all of her new creations.

Adding in Sippy Cups

I was told when he was 9 months old that we need to try and start using a sippy and less bottle....I thought that it was really to soon but we have spent alot of time trying out new cups that he likes. We have tried out the Kidbasix the Safe Sippy 2. Here is how it looks.

 Meet the world’s first and only 2-in-1 convertible sippy to straw bottle, what one mommy blogger called “quite possibly the coolest sippy ever.” The Safe Sippy2™ has all of the great BPA-free features of our original Safe Sippy™ cup, plus several new features. You can check them out on the right.

At Kid Basix, we know that nothing irks parents more than buying something for their children that doesn’t last. That’s why we created The Safe Sippy2™ convertible sippy-to-straw cup in stainless steel. It’s safe, versatile and durable. So when your child says he or she is too old for a sippy cup and wants a straw bottle like the “big kids,” you can reach for the straw adaptor instead of your wallet.

Happy Valentines Day!

Do you cloth diapering moms save a special diaper for holidays? I had been saving a diaper and then Danny put it on baby on Weds so I had to wash all of the diapers so we could wear it for a few hours today lol. What is OTB at your house?

Something happened to me and I said it never would

Yes it happened and I have been dreading this day.... My baby pooped in the bathtub!!! Yep he was taking a afternoon bath with every single bath toy in there and I didnt even notice. When did he have time? I had my eyes on him the whole time...But there it was I was

horrified when I saw it and snatched him out of there and then had to clean him off and then clean the tub out again....The husband spend over a hour cleaning the bathroom top to bottom yesterday I guess the baby thought it was to clean lol. Has this ever happened to you or did you say this would never happen? It really never happened with my 10 year old. Leave a comment and let me know im not alone in this gross but funny moment.

My 2013

Now on this blog I do mostly giveaways and reviews. I always want to post fun and easy things DIY and things about our lives alot we cant talk about but I thought I would do a overview of what 2013 was like for us. Around January we decided we were going to take the leap to start the process of becoming foster parents. We didn't really know what this would all entail and if we did probably wouldn't of finished it....but that is for another post. If you are interested in that journey leave a comment below. We celebrated Brendan's 10th birthday in March I cant believe my guy is 10! 2013 is also the year that I accepted that I will never have my own baby after 7+ years of TTC and a year of failed fertility treatments. I know we are meant to have a baby and god will find a way and maybe he already has at least for a little while. We are blessed to be the temporary parents of a almost 10 month old and have since birth. In 2013 we had a great garden and had so many cucumbers that we made jars and jars of pickles. Life with a baby was unexpected in 2013 but it was the best surprise we could of asked for. Most of you know that we cloth diaper him full time and I love it. It is so easy I don't know why everyone isn't doing it. This post is just one big blah blah but was just on my mind and i really want to make this blog not only about the giveaways and reviews but I want somewhere that I can be open. Being a foster parent isn't easy and it is packed full of emotions 100% of the day good and bad.

Thanks for listening!

Fat Apple Diapers Hybrid Fitted Review & Giveaway

I was excited to try out Fat Apple Diapers. We have been using fitted diapers at nighttime only and so far so good. Now that baby is 9 months old the other brand we were using at nighttime was not enough. These diapers retail for around $25 plus shipping. Here is the diaper i received.

This is the Badgers and the gang knit fabric and I totally love it! This diaper is a hybrid fitted diaper and here is some info about it from her page.

Fat Apples are hybrid fitted diapers made with the best materials in the market: 
Oeko-Tex 100, GOTS certified bamboo fleece
Polartec® WindPro® fabric
Dritz elastic
Gutermann or Mettler thread
TexTest certified cotton velour
KAM snaps

FIT AND WEIGHT RANGES
Fat Apples come in 2 sizes:

• The “Baby Apple” fit is the original one size fit and ranges from around 10-25 lbs. depending on the weight distribution of your baby.
• The “Apple Jax” fit is a toddler fit that goes up to around 35 lbs., and has longer wings that cross on larger babies.

DIAPER CONSTRUCTION

The shell of a Fat Apple diaper is made with an outer woven or knit fabric of your choice, and a hidden layer of Polartec® WindPro® fabric, which is a highly breathable yet extremely water repellent fabric. Touching the baby’s bum is a layer of TexTest certified cotton velour in a color that matches the outer print. 

The Fat Apple soaker consists of an inner core of microfiber that is sandwiched between 2 layers of Oeko-Tex 100, GOTS certified bamboo fleece and covered with the same cotton velour that is used in the shell. All of this is sewn together with a bias tape that is made with the same outer fabric, making it match the outside print of the diaper. This matching insert will facilitate laundry time, making it easier to match shell and insert when folding the diaper back together. 

Now I have to say that when I received this diaper I wasn't a big fan of the bulk it gave BUT after trying it out for a month and washing it made it softer and I didn't even notice it any longer. It may be a issue if you were trying to put pants over it but for night time with pj's on I LOVE it! Here is how it looks on.

Here is the butt shot.

This is how it looks with a flip cover for night time. I had to all the way unsnap the rise also.

So cute!! Guess what One lucky TTGG Follower will be winning a $15 Credit To Fat Apple Diapers!

Going Green: The Benefits of E Cigarettes

Since their debut several years ago, e cigs have grown in popularity and social acceptance among smokers. Both regular smokers and social smokers have benefited with financial savings, less waste, and a more pleasant smell. For many reasons, E cigarettes have opened more social doors for smokers. Rather than having to step out for a smoke or away from friends and bystanders, you can continue meaningful conversation with the people around you while enjoying a cigarette. Here are a few other benefits to E cigarettes. 

Reducing Litter

Smokers leave tiny little cigarette butts all over the place – especially if ashtrays are nowhere to be found. As smoking has lessened in popularity, it’s more and more difficult to find an ashtray to keep the earth clean. E cigarettes eliminate the need for an ashtray, because they don’t create ashes. Since E cigs offer many uses to the consumer, you’re not constantly throwing away what you just purchased. E cigarettes require a one-time purchase of the cigarette, and periodic purchases of the solution that goes inside the cigarette. For more information on these solutions, check out www.21stcenturysmoke.com. 

Eliminating Smell

Traditional smoking emits a smell that may bother a lot of people, as well as filling the air with second-hand smoke. E cigarettes have a much lighter smell that you can manipulate, depending on what formula you smoke in an E cigarette. Choose one that’s pleasant to those around you, and you may make some new friends who are full of questions about E cigarettes.

Protecting Habitat

How many raging fires have started because someone carelessly discarded a cigarette during a dry season or geographical area? E cigarettes are a much better option for protecting the environment, especially if you’re enjoying the outdoors in a desert region where risk of fire is high. Though outdoor spaces can look and seem hardy, many eco-systems are particularly fragile, and fires can result in tragedy for both people and animals. E cigarettes are a safer choice for stewarding the earth well. For more information about E cigs, visit 21stcenturysmoke.com. There’s much more to know about how these fascinating little inventions can benefit you.
