Favorite Blog Today: Natural on a Budget

There is a great post today on The Thrifty Mama about what to do with Coconut Oil. It's a guest post from Lorrie at Natural on a Budget. I've had some coconut oil in my cupboard for awhile that I haven't touched, and that all changes today!!
I'm thinking my hair needs it more than my chicken..lol.

You can get a good deal on coconut oil from Amazon: Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 15-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2) for $13.94. An even better deal if you buy it with Swagbucks. :)

Lorrie also has a great post about a Whole Foods version of an Unhappy Meal.
When Whole Foods opens at Trolley Square I plan on posting a lot more from there. It's big and beautiful! I can't wait!!

I love coconut oil. I have only used it with my DoTerra Essential Oils. Like when I rub them on my feet or legs as a cream. I have never tried cooking with it. I am going to try the Deodorant!!! Thanks for the link to extra things to use it For!

It's also a comfort to hold my little guy close and safe. When I had the chance to review the ERGObaby carrier, I was thrilled to try something that could extend my baby wearing days. My first test was a true one...Costco. I admit that I didn't really look at the directions when I put the carrier on in the parking lot. But I didn't need to! After one look at a picture in the user manual, I strapped my 20 pound boy in, placed my little girl in the shopping cart, and started on my way through the aisles of Costco. I immediately noticed that the carrier more evenly distributed my son's weight than my normal carrier and held my boy high so my legs weren't bumping into his. This made it significantly easier to tote him around the store. Indeed my normal trips to Costco are exhausting. But
