NEW PRODUCT!

Per Request, Crunchy Monkey now offers Tutu's!!!

The Tutu's I make are Apron Style. Meaning, they tie around the waste and in the back with a ribbon for easy add/removal. This is fantastic for times when your little one needs an emergency trip to the bathroom and you need to remove this quickly!

CARING FOR YOUR TUTU:
--When your tutu arrives in your mail, you will need to fluff it out! Hang it up and run your fingers through it to fluff it out.
-- One of the easiest ways would be to hang it in your bathroom during a hot shower to release any creases, folds, or wrinkles from traveling.
--The tutu's can be spot washed by hand with warm water if something spills on it. Hang to dry. Refluff with fingers once it is dried.



You can choose as many colors as you want for your custom Tutu. Access the Tutu Color Photo Album for the available colors.
There are also several styles available. So be sure to clarify what style you like when placing an order.

Embellishments such as ribbons can be added to the Tutu, so please specify when placing your order if that is something you are interested in. Embellishments will cost extra.

COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE: Matching Wands! Will be $5.00
If you are interested in pre-ordering for wands please feel free to let me know. (No samples are done up yet for preview is all)

My step son decided to be a little goofy and model the Tutu for us =P

$20 Amazon Gift Card!

http://zoombucks.com/join.php?ref=clashter11890

I've talked about it before, but I just wanted to throw it out there again! Zoombucks works just like Swagbucks. You search the interent, play games, watch videos, take surveys, and more. By completing those activities you potentially earn virtual dollars (points.) You turn the points in for free stuff like giftcards and more!



Last night I turned in 2000pts for a $20 Amazon Gift card! I am now up to $50 (saved up) in Amazon, not to mention all the Amazon Gift Cards I've already spent on things in the recent past!

I never thought getting money would be so easy =)

Vaccine Makers Admit May Cause SIDS!

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/06/20/uk-scraps-pneumonia-vaccines-because-they-dont-work.aspx

Links such as the one above only strengthen my decision to not vaxinate any children I have!
I offer this information to those who are ignorant of the situations....Vaccines have a CHANCE to endanger the child. So does allowing a four year old to cross the street alone. Would you take that risk? Most likely not....so why take the chance with the vaccines?

It is a very debateble conversation. Government and school districts alike make it a very difficult obstacle to overcome. Some hospitals won't even agree to be your chosen hospital for delivery if they know of your crunchy/granola parenting ways!

All the information is available to anyone who wants to do the research. Everyone is permitted to create their own opinion. It is important to know what is best for YOUR family, and leave the judgement right there.

How do YOU provide a natural life for your children and family?
I plan to:

• Breastfeed
• Baby Wear
• Baby LED weaning
• No Vaccines
• No formula (breast milk only)
• No disposable Diapers (only cloth diaper)
• Co-Sleeping
• Homemade Baby Food

I'm sure there are other methods out there that I will feel partial to, and as I do more research I plan on going the mile and making life as natural and loving as possible for my children.

How many of you have had issues with the hospitals when requesting that your child NOT leave the delivery room/your sight after birth?

Tomato!

Well, I am still waiting on Tomato Buds, BUT--Look how big the plant is getting? For growing indoors, I'd say they must like where they are at least a tad to be overtaking my windows =P


Day I purchased (several weeks ago)


Current! Look how tall they have gotten.

The red and green pepper plants I was not able to save. My fiance managed to snap the stems off those when driving in the car with them =/ My herbs are doing great and taste great too ;)

My Coupon Binder

I have a never ending need to organize sometimes, so keep in mind my Coupon Binder is always a work in progress. One week I wake up with the thought that each page should have all like items. One week it's single sided, the next double sided pages. =) So here are a few pictures of what it looks like currently.


Coupon Binder closed. 19 Tab dividers, still need about 15 more of the dividers to have the binder completely divided up properly!

All my store coupons go into sleeves at the very front of my binder. Easy access so that I do not have to go digging later on when I have a manufacturer coupon to match up with too.

Some of the pages and categories I have the binder divided into. I find this method easiest for me. Others, I have seen, divide their binders up by dates the inserts/coupons came out. Others completely alphabitize their coupons rather than go by departments.

I also find it very simple for me to double stack my coupons. Meaning, I have coupons back to back so that I can see a different coupon when looking at the front of my page, and when I flip the page there are more on the back of that same page. This saves time, coupon sleeves, and doesn't cause much confusion.
