jfmom says "versatile product to make dinner fast" about Taco Seasoning Mix Og 1.3oz Simply Organic 6 Pack

jfmom — Sun, 03 May 2009 23:07:18 GMT

I use this "taco" seasoning on a regular basis in my kitchen. I would describe myself as an all natural, mostly organic healthy mom who likes to cook healthy, tasty food for my family. However, I am also a busy momma of two boys under 4 so I don't always have all the time I would like to cook! I use this all natural seasoning in a variety of ways to make a quick, tasty meal. These are just a few ways I use this seasoning:

put it in ground turkey for tacos
put a couple of pounds of chicken thighs in the crockpot, add a little onion, some cilantro, and a can of diced tomatoes and add this seasoning (you can also do this with flank steak)
make a tortilla soup with diced tomatoes, chicken stock, onion, cut up chicken or ground turkey or beef, diced red pepper, tomato puree if you like a thicker soup, a can of black beans and a packet of this seasoning

I always keep this on hand and my kids (who are quite picky I might add) don't think it is too spicy.

jfmom says "works as good as the strongest medicated stuff" about Weleda Calendula Baby Diaper Cream

jfmom — Sun, 03 May 2009 22:06:32 GMT

Weleda calendula diaper cream is a lifesaving product for any mama. I have two children and I have used this product on both of them. I tried other "natural" creams but none of them worked as good as this one. If my one of my babies developed a rash, it would usually be gone with one application of this cream. One of my little guys has extremely sensitive skin and he had horrible excema as a baby.It seemed like even the tiniest irritation would make his poor skin flare up. This cream never bothered him and worked like a charm. Even though the kids are getting bigger I still keep the cream around for the occasional "butt sting" as my toddler calls it.;) It is more expensive than the typical diaper cream, but if you are at all conscious about the chemicals in normal baby products it is a small price to pay. Also, you only need a little bit of this cream and as I said I typically only needed one application to get rid of the rash...so in the end you may end up spending less.

jfmom says "Worth the money, multi-purpose haul it all stroller" about BOB Trailer Revolution Duallie Twin Seat Jogger Stroller

jfmom — Sun, 03 May 2009 21:57:09 GMT

The BOB duallie revolution stroller is an essential item for any parent of small children!!! We are an active young family with two small children (BOYS!) under the age of 4. Might I add our boys are big, heavy active boys! We purchased this stroller right before we had our second child almost 2 years ago. We have used it consistently since he was born and I am sure we will continue to until they both grow out of it! We have used this stroller at the mall, at the beach, at the zoo, around town, on walks around the neighborhood, at museums, huge crowds, you name it and this stroller has probably been there! I might add that two years later and after all that wear and tear...it still looks like we bought it yesterday.
Reasons this is a great Stroller:

It has seperate sun/rain shades, so that if one kiddo wants the shade and one doesnt, you have that option.
Each seat can seperately recline, so that if one kiddo is sleeping the other can sit up and vice versa
you can purchase an infant-seat...

jfmom says "Great product for the whole family!" about Philosophy Purity Made Simple

jfmom — Sun, 03 May 2009 21:41:13 GMT

Philosophy Purity is a great product for all skin types. Before finding this cleanser, I typically used a much harsher product for my combination acne prone skin. I am one of those people who really needs my skin to feel clean after I wash it. This is a great product that makes my skin feel clean but not tight, which is what I was used to with the other cleansers I had found that actually made my skin feel clean. I use this product along with philosophy hope in a jar daily and I have not had an issue with acne for a couple of years! I do not have to use any kind of special treatments other than these two products. My husband even uses and loves this cleanser, and he is sensitive, dry skin. So I think that no matter your skin type you would be happy with this cleanser. It has a light, fresh scent that I htink is quite neutral. I love this product and I recommend it to everyone!! I usually buy it in a jumbo size (at qvc or ebay) and it lasts us quite awhile.

jfmom says "Skin stays clean and moisturized" about Philosophy Hope In A Jar Moisturizer All Skin Types

jfmom — Sun, 03 May 2009 21:33:44 GMT

Philosophy Hope in a Jar is an amazing product! I can lather it on and my skin never feels greasy. I can feel this product soaking into my skin and it feels so healthy and fresh! I am a mom of two boys under 4 and when I put this product on my skin feels vibrant, refreshed, and I just glow! I would describe my skin as combination skin that is a bit sensitive, as I can easily break out if I use the wrong product. I had never really consistently used a moisturizer before I found this one because my skin tended to break out if I did. So, I usually had dry skin with an oily t-zone and I could never quite find the right product. I find that I can rub this product all over my face and it seems to balance out everywhere. I usually apply a large dab on both cheeks and then rub it all over with the lightest application in the tzone...like I said my skin just feels HEALTHY after. I do not have any wrinkles to speak of and I am constantly complimented on my skin...which is new for me!

jfmom says "This high-quality vegan conditioner is worth every penny" about Pureology hydrate condition

jfmom — Sun, 03 May 2009 21:22:22 GMT

I was introduced to Pureology Hydrate Condition by my hairdresser a couple of years ago. I love it so much I have pretty much been using it consistently since then! I don't think I had ever bought the same conditioner twice before finding this product, but this made me a loyal fan. I have long, thick, naturally curly hair which is sometimes my natural brunette and sometimes highlighted. I sometimes wear my hair naturally curly, and sometimes I blow it out straight. This product keeps my hair amazingly healthy and protects the color when it is highlighted. My hair feels minty and clean after using this hydrating conditioner, which is nice because sometimes after using a thick nourishing conditioner your hair can feel heavy and weighed down. Not so with this one!!! It is expensive, but you can use a very small amount and get good results. I have two small children and we are definately not wealthy, but this is one luxury that i afford myself, worth every penny in my book!
