Sometimes timing is everything. Last week HUT came down with some sort of a 24 hour bug and I thought that Ellie had narrowly escaped it. Then Saturday morning hit our house hard. I was woken up at 5:30am to a poor little girl covered in puke. 

It just so happens that I received a box of diapers, wipes, hand soap and toddler toothpaste from The Honest Company (gratis) on the same weekend when I'd need some natural products to help get this family back to it's normal state of health - including one severe case of diaper rash, Ellie's first.

Since I didn't ask for their healing balm, I used my tried and true diaper rash regimen (I'll write about that another day, if you're interested), and immediately switched Ellie to The Honest Company's diapers and wipes. Since they are more natural than our usual diapers and wipes, I figured everything I can do to heal up her red tush was in our best interest. Overnight things vastly improved. The diapers also seem a bit larger than our normal Target brand and a have lot more cushion, all which help with our overnight leakage problems. The wipes are much thicker and work SO much better than the first wipes I tried from The Honest Company a couple of years ago when HUT was a baby.

It also doesn't hurt to look at these diapers - I might have let her play around the house yesterday morning sans pants because, come on, peacock butt? To stinkin' cute.

And, just to be fair to both kids, while Ellie was given the diapers and wipes, I also got some great smelling hand soap for HUT (who feels it necessary to wash his hands times a day now that he can reach the sink with his step-stool) and some new toothpaste for him as well. Because maybe a good tasting paste will make the daily toothbrush battle a bit less difficult?


The lavender hand soap, truth be told, is probably moving to my sink. It's smells way too amazing to have HUT use it a bazillion times a day. And the toothpaste doesn't contain flouride, which is important seeing as 9 times out of 10 HUT just swallows it.

Ultimately, as a family who is slowly starting to clean up it's act for the environment, and I do mean slowly, these products make it a bit more simple for our transition. Natural, non-toxic products are what we're aiming for and The Honest Company pretty much makes it a one stop shop for all the things.
