Karyn - Yep, I had heard of that. Have you also noticed that in the past few months, Clorox and other companies are coming out with 'green' products????

Rebecca - I also read that Colgate bought Tom's of Maine. I guess it was nice knowing that these smaller companies had a strong message about nautral products. It's just weird that the maker of bleach is now the owner of BB's? I can't believe that Phillip Morris owns Kraft!

Karyn - I hope it's the start of a new era. It amazes me how many damaging chemicals are in products that people use every day. I'm glad to see new 'green' alternatives. Now, I've never actually read the lables on any of them, but still..... I didn't know that about Tom's, either! Crazy! I hope that Clorox and Colgate keep the same philosophy with the BB's and Tom's products, though.

Did you read the article that Laura posted a couple weeks ago about Dr. Bronners suing (I love Dr B's stuff and have been using it for years - that's all dh will use for showering, too)?? That blew my mind. I've used Kiss My Face and Jason products before. I had no idea about the chemicals. You get a product that says all natural or organic, but you just can't be too sure anymore, aparently! I'm glad I have my Young Living and Arbonne products (and I am even selective with Arbonne). That's all I use anymore.

Deanna - Yes, it's very alkalizing to the body and very good for you - that and barleygrass and some others. I actually used to give barley grass to my dogs.

Rebecca - The website Organic Consumers Association has good stuff. They had the info on Dr. B suing! I was reading about how Dean's owns Horizons & they are questioning one of the farms that produces milk.

Have you ever tried Aubrey Organics? I bought a lotion & it smelled so bad, I had to return it. I have always heard good things about them but the lotion smelled like old ladies.

Deanna - Hi!

Rebecca~I seen an ad for organic dog food earlier and thought of you! Do you use that? I might try some wheatgrass juice....i've read a lot and it sounds healthy for you.

Karyn~I responded to your PM finally!

Karyn - No, I haven't tried any of the Abubrey products.

Deanna - I feed my dogs a mix of Natural Balance - potato and duck and Natural Ultramix - regular. They don't get any food or treats that have meat/products from any four legged critters, byproducts, artificial flavors or colors, preservatives etc.. I had heard that you should feed your dog according to the breed, so since labs are hunters, I thought some type of bird/foul would be best. They do well on it and I like it. However, it is awfully expensive (about $70 - $80 per month), but anything for my babies!

Rebecca~That is expensive, but its healthy for them. Now if you had 3 big dogs to feed like me....that would be really expensive! Potatoe and duck natural ultramix...never heard of that? I bet mine would love it! All of mine are hunters and very active!

Happy Friday! Soooo glad its Friday. I'm ready for the weekend so I can sleep in. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good FRIDAY morning all~
I am SO HAPPY it is time for the weekend! Last night DH had his group from work come to eat and I cooked a HUGE meal. It took forever to clean it all up and wash dishes. With the house on the market I feel like I can't leave anything out, and it constantly has to be cleaned.

The interview is this afternoon at 3:30. I am a bit anxious! Hopefully she will be easy to talk to.

Lisa~ So happy DH will be home with you this weekend! I can only imagine how hard that must be. ((hugs))

Karyn~ Yeah, cramps were worse than usual, but it still only lasted a few days. Strange.

Kristy~ Thanks for checking in on us!

Bec~ How are you feeling?

Rebecca - Dozer eats Natural Balance Ultra Premium...love that stuff! He had some issues with his ears a while back, I would have to clean them at least once a week. On Natural Balance within 3 weeks, his ears were totally different. Now I only clean them once a month & they don't really need it!

Lisa - Glad Forrest is back!

Lauren - Good luck today!

Steph - I mean Stephie McHottie! Love those pictures, you look awesome!!!!

Melissa - Glad the interview went great! I hope you land the job!

Deanna - Hi!

Have a great weekend ladies!

Deanna - It's potatoe and duck Natural Balance and regular formula Natural Ultramix. Yes, if we had a third dog, it would be really expensive! I only buy all natural treats, too so a one pound package is usually about $6-7. Crazy! But I love them!!!

Lauren - I'm feeling okay. I have some moments of achiness, but it could be psychological or it could be from the clomid.... I'm not ruling anything out yet, though.

Cassie - Thanks, but I think those temps are the result of the clomid.
