Nothing Fancy, But So Fantastic!

I use this stuff in place of butter for my eggs and toast, mixed into some steamed rice, in smoothies and coffee, as carrier oil for essential oils, on the bums of my babes to prevent and heal rashes, for cracked lips, for cracked nips (breastfeeding nightmare!), as a moisturizer, as a massage oil, and to stop the door hinges from squeeking( I would have never thought).

So far I have tried all of these things and they all seem to have worked or at least helped.  If you want to learn more ways to use this amazing stuff check out this link from wellnessmama.com.  Also I would love to hear how coconut oil is used in you day to day.

Cloth Diapering

I think crunchy life started for me when I was a teen. I was really big on saving our planet. After much research it just made sense for me to cloth diaper once I knew I was going to have a baby.  The best thing about them is that there is an option that fits YOUR personal lifestyle(time, style, level of poo and pee you can handle).  There are flushable options, and super crunchy options.  I decided to pick a system that met in the middle.  I use covers with inserts.  Don’t get me wrong, I WILL use a disposable.  Super handy when you’re on the go.
