Live Clean (Baby) Products Review

This Live Clean (Baby) stuff makes me want to have another baby. Instead, I used it on my current brood and on myself and absolutely love it! Let's go over the products, which are available at Walgreen's and also through Walgreens.com (and I found some on Drugstore.com also). I love that these products are eco-friendly with natural ingredients that are good for my family and for the environment.

Non-petroleum jelly. Wondering why it's NOT petroleum jelly? Check out this creepy article. This stuff is just as great as petrolatum-containing products but I feel better putting it on Sam's buns, on owies and on my lips.

Shampoo and wash. Smells great and works great to clean my little grubby ones and their hair.

Baby bath. Smells amazing and makes great bubbles for the littles to mess around in the tub.

Baby lotion. I kinda mighta stolen this for myself. I did put some on the kids, but why should they have all the soft skin? It smells nice (seeing a trend here?) and keeps me moisturized all day.

Bar soap. This comes 3 bars to a box, so I put one in the kids' bathroom and one in ours. My husband and I love it for showering and I love knowing I'm getting the kids clean without perfumey junk.

Check back in the coming weeks because Live Clean (Baby) had agreed to send an entire set of these products (plus diaper rash ointment) to one lucky winner in a giveaway. I'll be tweeting and Facebooking like crazy so make sure you click the top left side of the blog to stalk me everywhere you possibly can!

Returning to School Uniquely

Today I'm taking a little break from the production of The Kerrie Show, and we have a guest post by HB Redbird about heading back to school in a unique and trendy way.

More schools are going to uniforms and pre-packaged school supplies. It is difficult for children to feel unique in a public-school setting. Parents are left with children who wish they could have a specific color notebook or something to call their own. Of course, children could be unique with backpacks and lunch boxes, but parents can make their children light up with the use of personalized gifts for school supplies. 

Thankful Thursday: Pourty Potty Seat

Sometimes I love my job. Like when a Pourty Potty Seat (sounds like Port-a-Potty, right, and it is!) gets delivered to my front door when I have a kid who is almost 3 years old thinking about potty training! Here are some pictures before we discuss the product:

We got all excited and told him he got something in the mail.

"Is it a hat?"

Sister Callie took him up to the bathroom with it ... it was a family affair.

Later he really peed in it! Then we just picked it up by the front (the "cat ear" go in the back") and dumped it into the toilet, then rinsed it out.

I had actually gotten rid of our last potty seat after Eva potty trained because it was such a clunky pain in the butt. I got sick of the lid falling on them when they were using it, wrestling with it to get the white bowl out to dump into the toilet then getting it back into the potty seat. And it was kinda big. So he's been attempting to stand on tippy toe to pee in the big toilet but that doesn't always work out. God then sent us a Pourty :-)

Other potty seats cost up to $30. The sturdy, award-winning, already a hit in the UK (Beatles, anyone?) Pourty is only $14.95 through Amazon.com and you can toss it in your vehicle for on-the-road fecal fun.

Here are some better pics the company sent over:

Disclaimer: This company found me and asked if I would like to try their product. They did not pay me to review it, but I did put a link to Amazon.com in here if you want to buy it, and I do get a teensy kick-back on that.

Wordless Wednesday: Cross-Dressing Kids

Okay, so you have 3 pictures of my daughter Eva dressing in her brothers' clothes. She also has Sam dressed up and she called them the Krowt Brothers.

This one is older .... Sam dressing in some princess costume or another. This is what happens when little boys and little girls live in the same house together. Go figure. It's cute. Maybe they'll all be on Project Runway someday or something.

Dove Intensive Therapy Conditioner

Fans of Tackle-It Tuesday, I'm sorry, but I did not ONCE AGAIN get to the spackling. 

I hung out a lot of Labor Day weekend and swam and read to my kids and read to myself and it rocked. We'll do that post another time. 

Instead, let's discuss the fascinating topic of my hair, shall we?

I was excited to get this tube of Dove Intensive Therapy Conditioner in the mail because I love all things beauty product-related. I'm not huge on makeup, but I certainly do love my hair products and face creams and body lotions. 

I also love summer, but all the swimming I do with my kids and being out in the heat KILLS my hair and makes it all frizzy and then it turns plain greasy.
