Poop Is My Life.

27004735_240x240_front_2 ...Really it is. I've got the sticker to prove it. I live my life moving from child to child routinely asking, do you smell that? Do you have poop? Lilley/Noelle/Evan/Jack/Will did you poop? To which they always reply no. ALWAYS.
If I'm lucky, they really don't have poop. Usually though, they do. I felt pretty cool yesterday while answering a call on speakerphone and cleaning up a dirty diaper on child number five. It was all pretty routine really.
What throws me into a bit of a tailspin however is when somebody has sat in a diaper, for too long. I would like to say that my kids inherited my fair skin, but it's really a toss up, Jon is just as fair as I am. So the kids were really out of luck from the get-go... When Parent Bloggers Network asked me to take a peek at some Diaper Goop to help combat diaper rashes... I figured I had nothing to lose. I have a few creams and ointments that I rely on for rashes but none that I'll sell my soul for.
When the Diaper Goop arrived I was intrigued. First thing that I loved, was that it comes in aDiapergoopsingle_2 tub. I love a tub. LOVE IT. I hate having to squeeze stuff out of a tube, I'm weird like that. I feel like I can really get my money's worth out of a tub of something, where I can scrape the sides clean... I love a tub. Next thing that I enjoyed was the cream itself. It's lanolin based. I love lanolin... After breastfeeding 5 kids, I have a real bond with lanolin. It did things for me that no other things could... It's also so multi purpose! So after really liking the goop for the purpose it was intended for, I found that it was also good on the cracked noses, chapped lips and hands, and all those other red irritated areas on my kids bodies.
Ok...So the bottom line. I like it. I'd buy it again. I'd recommend it to a friend. AND it comes in a tub, which is a major plus... Did I already cover that?
