Raw Crunchy Organic Kale Review

I picked up some organic, vegan, gluten free Brad's raw crunchy kale the other day.  It was really delicious so I figured I would make a blogpost reviewing it.  Usually we make our own kale chips, but this was so much more convenient with excellent flavor.  I got the vampire killer flavor which was made and seasoned with sunflower seeds, cashews, vegan cheese and garlic.

It is non-GMO verified which is great.  My five year old and I really enjoyed this healthy snack.  I would definitely recommend picking this up as it is a decent price at the store as well.  We will definitely be buying this product from Brad's again.

Sanitize and Bleach Your Cloth Diapers Naturally With The Sun

Cloth diapering has really made a comeback within these last few years.  We cloth diaper for several reasons; it's cheaper, it's better for their skin and it's better for the environment.  The Honest Company does have nice chemical free diapers, but those too can be pricey for disposable.  With my first daughter I did a lot of the pocket diapers.  This time I'm using more prefolds with the covers.  My favorite brand so far are the rump-a-roos.  They tend not to leak and the elastic by the legs keeps the prefolds tucked in tightly.

Anyways, the sun has a natural way to bleach and sanitize your prefolds.  If you have any cloth diapers with stains, the sun will definitely get them out.

These are my cloth prefolds, right after washing.  As you can see, the poo stains are still there.  With the lighting, it is kind of hard to see, put if you look close enough they are definitely there.


Lay them in the sun for a few hours and they magically disappear!

I know a lot of mamas only sanitize and bleach their diapers once a week, but I do it every washing just so I'm left with white prefolds for the next changing.

Organic Insecticide Review

Those are two words you probably never thought you would hear together "organic" and "insecticide".  Fortunately EcoSmart makes an organic pesticide that is safe around kids and pets as it is non toxic.  I was a little worried that this would be ineffective, but it turns out that it works out really great, especially on ants.  The main ingredients in this bug killer are peppermint and rosemary oil.  I love the fact that this is non toxic and you don't have to worry about inhaling toxic fumes.  I would give this spray a 5/5.
