I want to apologize to everyone because of your late orders!! My son had strep and pneumonia and Sarah had a cold that we were worried was going to turn into something other than the crankies!!! I ended up catching the strep then from Matthew. I am feeling better now and he is fine for the most part. Sarah still has the yucky nose and cough, but I think she is ok too. I didnt feel like or really want to work on any orders, especially if I could spread germs. So I plan on catching up with as much as I can this weekend.

Also, what is people's thoughts on a new diaper salve???? I have come up with something that seems to be doing WONDERS!!!! The drawback is the main oil that is used stinks to high heaven!!! So I have been messing around with different formulas for a while now trying to come up with something that doesnt smell too badly.

I'm currently using the All Natural Diaper Rash Salve by Northern Essence even though it smells god-awful! It works, though and that's pretty much all I care about. The only time I smell it is right after I put it on her, once the diaper is on, the smell is gone.

Well I looked at what she had listed as ingredients and the only thing that we have that would be similar would be the calendula and that really doesnt have much of a smell to it. I think what smells with hers is the Emu oil. What sizes and types of containers do you find you like best??

Sorry to hear your kiddos have been sick! No worries with getting orders out, I'm thankful you've waited so as to not spread more germs!

I love your wipes solution and would be willing to try a rash salve! Personally, I'd prefer something that smells good but really the only thing that matters to me is if it really works. So, if it smells icky but works, I'd buy it!

Well, for ease of use, I like the twist up tube... the only problem with that is I'm scared that one of these times her rash will be from yeast, you know what I mean? So I bought a jar of it and now I just scoop a little bit into my palm and spread it around, that way I'm not cross-contaminating the germies. Once it's been a day and I can tell it's definitely NOT a yeast rash, I use the twist up stick, soooo much easier!

Oh, and as far as the smell... I think it's the TTO that stinks. I was going to try the TTO-free version the next time I needed to buy a tube, but if you're going to making some I'll try yours instead! Let me know if you need a tester!!
