I'm glad you are enjoying the cranberry lemonade, and I'll have to try it with raspberry sometime, too! I think strawberry would also be yummy. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159961811540152967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11447399.post-79067597595098466262007-07-27T14:51:00.000-05:002007-07-27T14:51:00.000-05:00Great finds at the hardly used store.

It will look adorable on Julia<BR/>About the cradle cap, I used a little bit of baking soda to wash the kids hair, and it scrubs it right out. After about a week of treating them with that, none of them had cradle cap again. <BR/><BR/>I love your Cranberry Lemonade recipe. Today I made it with Red Raspbery instead of cranberry and it taste's great also.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062679626047355294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11447399.post-67491542694819304272007-07-27T14:24:00.000-05:002007-07-27T14:24:00.000-05:00That's funny that we both tackled our boys' heads ...That's funny that we both tackled our boys' heads around the same time period! :) I think Sam did better with the bath part than the combing part, although he did OK with that . . . but he hates to have his head messed with. <BR/><BR/>Let me know how it goes with using the WFM shampoo. We have started using an all natural shampoo bar on the kids (Jim uses it too) and are hoping that will help. It's the nettle bar from www.chagrinvalleysoapandcraft.com. We've tried quite a few of their bars and Jim really likes the nettle one. Unfortunately none of the ones I've tried have worked with my hair--they all make it feel really waxy and hard to comb through. So I am still using chemical laden shampoo, but at least most of it I am getting free or very cheap after rebate from Rite-Aid. :) The only natural shampoo I have found (so far) that works well for me is the new liquid Burt's Bees . . . but the price is really steep. I forgot to take a good look at the WFM shampoo while we were there. I'll have to check it out sometime after the new store comes into NH. <BR/><BR/>I do think a lot of Sam's trouble was that the shampoo didn't get washed out thoroughly (like you mentioned). He hates having his head rinsed so much, that we probably didn't get it rinsed well enough most of the time. He is starting to do better about the whole water thing now; hopefully that will help, too. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159961811540152967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11447399.post-25255802442391802082007-07-27T14:07:00.000-05:002007-07-27T14:07:00.000-05:00We used olive oil on the olest and youngest boys a...We used olive oil on the olest and youngest boys a few weeks ago. They handled that and the combing very well. The bath afterwards was not enjoyed at all. We did learn though that the oil comes right out when washed with dandruff shampoo. The middle boy has never had even one spot of yellow in his hair. We are also experimenting with them and are only using adult shampoo (from WFM). Hopefully it will wash out better than the baby shampoo and we won't have any more trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
