Rockin' Green Review!!!

As I have written about many times, we cloth diaper our twins & we also cloth diapered our older son when he was in dipes! We love our Cloth Diapers! They have saved us so much money, plus they are just so darn cute!! Our twins have their own little styles, weather it is Gabbi is her tie dye Bamboo fitted or Si in his Sea Turtle fitted! There are so many reasons we use cloth, and very few drawbacks. The biggest drawback with our cloth dipes is the stink that occurs when your diapers develop detergent build up. I've tried several methods of stripping the diapers....they haven't worked at all. It's really annoying.




I first heard about Rockin' Green from a bloggy friend, and immediately wanted to give it a try for more than one reason...the top reason being their claims of getting rid of the very stink to which I was referring to above, as well as not building up, so the 'detergent build up stink' is no longer a issue, once you've stripped your diapers for the first time with Rockin' Green. Another reason being that my children have horribly sensitive skin, ALL laundry soap has irritated their skin so badly, even the soaps that claim to be free & clear. Our older son has fairly bad eczema, that gets irritated by the smallest amount to soap build up in his clothes...For these reason we were already in search of something to relive our little ones from their skin issues.


I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to give Rockin' Green for a test "wash". I eagerly waited for days for the mailman, wondering if there would be a package...Finally "yes" there was the much a waited Rockin' Green I received 2 packages in the mail, Rage against the raspberries & smashing watermelons, both smell fantastic!! I rushed in side, ripped open the package & dumped the diapers in the washing machine, and let them soak in some hot water and 3 tbsp (the recommended amount) of the detergent for a little over a hour. I then put them through my regular wash routine, and waited for them to dry so I could smell them. How would they smell? Is this really going to work? I thought to my self as they were drying. Finally...Buzzzzz...the dryer was done! I opened the dryer door and was shocked...Yay!! No Yucky, dirty, or Fishy smell!!!! I was so pleased straight out of the dryer, they smelled fresh and clean. After the diaper load that day I did load after load of my families dirty clothes!




I tried Smashing Watermelons & Rage Against the Rasberries!!
I love Rockin' Green for everything, Rockin' Green Classic Rock is the only thing playing in our washer for now on!!! I highly recommend that you give Rockin' Green a try! They have sample packs you can order, that way to can try out all the different flavors! You'll love it!
I hope you give it a try!
Rock On Rockin' Green!!!!

Here is my Healthier alternative to the traditional Chocolate brownie. My Husband has a huge sweet tooth and Loves brownies...I, on the other hand do not like brownies nearly as much, but I love banana bread and nuts! Here is what I came up with, they have just enough chocolate chips to be...well, chocolaty! They passed the test with my husband, he'd rather these than any chocolate brownie any day...and that is saying a LOT! They look pretty and are Oh so delicious! Try them out with you family, I think they will be a hit!!!

Sharing the Beauty!

♫♪♫♪Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and pow’r.

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
Oh, there are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
Oh, there are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
Oh, there are ten thousand charms.

See Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies;
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Sinner, will this not suffice?

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
Oh, there are ten thousand charms. ♫♪♫♪
This is such a beautiful song that gives be such
peace and comfort during hard times as well as good time!
Our Lord is such a faithful, wonderful, caring God!
