i like her too!! just bc someone has different opinions than you is no reason to ask for them to be kicked off......ha if that were true im sure i would be gone by now as i am not mainstream and do things differently than a lot of people do

Problem is they are RARELY equal in pricing. If they are, it usually involves coupons or something similar, which many people don`t care to do/ have time to do.

well they say u shudnt use ointments, creams, bath soap etc...with chemicals or perfumes in untill ur baby is 6 months as their skin cnt handle it, 1st time mum so not sure if this is over the top or wot but i will def stay chemical free for the 1st couple of months at least i think.

i use natural, and if we can afford it, anybody can. its just a matter of priorities and giving up other things in order to afford whats most important to you. same goes for staying home. yea, we live in an apartment instead of our own house, we dont eat out very often, we dont take vacations, neither of us has a new car (both of ours have a lot of miles, but are paid off!) in order for me to stay home and also for us to use healthy products. i dont work and my bf delivers pizza!!! so, like i said, if we can do it anyone can. some people just dont want to give certain things up...

Uh, who wouldn`t pick natural?! You and your CHILD`S health is the most important thing in the world.

Lou~ I agree with you on diaper creams, soaps, teething tablets, we also use cloth diapers and make our own wipes solution for cloth wipes. BUT I have never found an all natural conditioner that works! Any sugestions?

Lou-Li-Ro (897.1 days ago)
I definitely go for the natural stuff over the chemical stuff. To me it is money wasted if I were to buy the ordinary stuff. I buy from the Health shop and use things sparingly (i.e. shampoo, conditioner, baby creams etc)... We just don`t waste things and I find they are well worth the money and smell and feel better.

unfortunately chemically-laden products are always cheaper...

Maybe I should have put more widely available instead of ordinary, but I hope you know what I meant!

  5. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!

  7. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  8. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  9. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  10. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
