Noli n Nali Baby Bum Balm

I just wanted to tell you how great this product is. I feel like this is somewhat of a shamless plug - because I sell this on my website, but I just have to tell you how great it is. I just got around to using it the other day, because Taylor has a nasty diaper rash, and we finally used up the other product that we were using (which was not helping, by the way).

This salve has GREATLY improved her diaper rash, and quickly too I might add. I think we've been putting it on for two days, and her rash is barely noticable. As an added bonus, I put some on my husband's hand to see if it would help with his chapped and broken skin, and that as well is healing nicely. We've tried a lot of different lotions for him an nothing has worked.

So to sum up, the Baby Bum Balm works really good and we are loving it. Noli n Nali is a wonderful, Mom-owned company with a great selection of the most natural products for mother and baby.

Hope you're all doing well. Take care and stay green!

Chytrid Fungus Devastates 'Chicken' Frog

This is so sad! I'm sure most of you know about the chytrid fungus that is affecting frogs worldwide. It is devastating, and is causing the suspected extinction of many frog species. Scientists, herpatologist and conservation groups are collecting species for captive managemant as they disease can be treated in captivity, but not yet in the wild.

This particular story is about the Mountain Frog of Montserrat. This island is located southeast of Puerto Rico. Within 15 months of the disease arriving on the island, 80% of the frogs have died. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7948124.stm

For more info on all of this you can check out Amphibian Ark http://www.amphibianark.org/. They're working so hard to save our frogs. Remember, frogs are an important part of our ecosystem. Frogs ingest things through their thin skin, so they are an indicator of a troubled water supply.

Take care of yourselves, and I'll talk to you soon.

Homemade Dog Treats

I've been blessed with two dogs that both have food allergies. It it impossible to find treats that they can both eat, so I decided to start making my own. Here's the recipe in case any of you are in the same boat as me.

Dog Biscuits

3/4 C. Hot Water

1/3 C. Margarine ( I used canola oil, any oil will do. Use what's best for your pup.)

1/2 C. Powdered Milk ( I didn't have any, so I've used wheat germ, or corn meal in place of this. Flax can be used to, but my gals are allergic to it. Corn can be a common allergen for dogs, surprisingly it's something that neither of mine are allergic to.)

1 tsp. Salt

1 Egg beaten ( My girls are allergic to eggs. You can substitute one whole banana + tsp. baking powder, or 1/4 C. applesauce + 1 tsp. baking powder. )

3 C. Whole Wheat Flour ( I used organic pastry flour, because that's what I had. Again, use whatever is best for your pup. )

Pour hot water over margarine in large bowl. Stir in powdered milk, salt and egg. Add flour, a 1/2 cup at a time. Knead for a few minutes to form a stiff dough. Roll to 1/4" thickness, and cut out shapes. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Mine got a little thick so I added another ten minutes on.

Emma and Phoebe go nuts for these, I hope that your dogs do too. Take care, and I'll talk to you soon.
