Juicy Juice Fruitable's

Ok ladies first off  no one sent me these try and review I bought these from the grocery store myself.

I am very upset, first off they claim to be 100% juice  and they also claim to be made in the U.S.A.

After I opened the package and handed them out to my kids . First thing i see is CONCENTRATE FROM CHINA. But they say they are made in California.

Second issue is No where on its package does it  say 60 % Juice. This juice box  is suppose to be  ALL NATURAL APPLE QUENCH but it is not. I personally buy juicy juice because it is 100 percent juice and i bought these under the same assumption . No where on the outside package does it say they are 60 percent juice until you unwrap the package and get the individual juice box.

And i also feel like i should be informed that the juice concentrate is from CHINA .  Every food item from china gets recalled , shouldn't i as a consumer have this information before i purchase the item, not after i have purchased the item and unwrapped the item? I feel decieved  by this purchase. This is just my thoughts and my review of this item and i will not buy this brand agian. I typically do not write reviews because each person has different tastes, this review has nothing to do with the taste of the product. My problem is the packaging and the fact I was not given all the information before i purchased this product. I hope juicy juice re does there packaging and puts all the information on the front of the package so you can see it before you purchase it and open it.

Here the ingredients on the side of the juice box.



APPLE JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE

Homeschool

I have been a mom for almost 10 years, I have days i feel like super mom and other days i feel like the worst mom ever. I have 2 special needs children with Iep's. Desmend who is almost 10 and gabriel who is almost 6. I really want to home school my children, but I am not sure i can handle it and that they would retain the information i gave them. I try very hard to keep a routine and a schedule, but we do not always manage to keep to them. Someday i feel like the public school here ,which is an A plus school is doing great with my children other days not so much.

    Desmend for example, thrives and keeping busy, has a hard time focusing but excels in reading. He is in third grade and reads on a 6th grade level. Math does not come easy for him and is easily frustrated with math and his teachers.He tries but always seems to get knocked down even with an accomplishment.

Ayden excels in math does wonderful and pulls home A and B'a every semester, but gets in trouble for being bored i9n math and then the teachers feel like he is not reaching is goals in reading. Ayden is a loving child who i feel like does his best even at home. He gets bored and needs to stay busy,

Gabriel, well he is a drummer that beats to his own tune. He is severely lacking in the speech department and articulation is a huge problem. He was born at 34 weeks and also got spinal meningitis when he was 7 days old and spent nearly a month in the picu. He is defiantly behind not just in school but also maturity wise. We don't have a specif cause or diagnosis for this yet.

So i am not sure what I am going to do but i could use some thoughts from those that home school and those that don't.  I wonder sometimes if i give my children all the advantages that i want them to have in life. Just some thought on homeschooling and my boys.I am just not 100 percent sure i can give them everything they need to be ready for adulthood and college if i home-school. I am also not certain i can keep a great schedule to do there classwork and get them intrigued enough not to block me out.

What do you do when a child bust's out his adult tooth?

Well lets just say we had an interesting Friday night. The afternoon started out normal kids playing in the yard, i was about to start cooking a late dinner. I hear a scream and turn around and Ayden my middle son who is 6 had tried to slam dunk the basketball by climbing on the side of the pole and got his tooth caught in the wood around the net. All you see is blood everywhere, i rushed him inside clean his mouth out and realize his entire front tooth root an all is gone and a huge cut straight thru his gums to his bottom. My sister saw the tooth laying in the dirt we grabbed it and ran to the emergency. Where we live at we have a small er, after we got there the doctor called Shands of gainseville and we were transferred there to the emergency oral surgery department. Before i tell the end of my night let me tell you a few things you should know if your childs permanent tooth gets knocked out.

1.  Grab the tooth, rinse in warm water for 10 seconds

2.   Dip the tooth in milk,  yes you heard me milk.

3. Gently put tooth back in spot

4. Have child bite down on rolled up clean washcloth.

5. head to the nearest children's hospital


  We did not know any of these things before this happened. Now our son may loose the tooth that was put back in surgically last night. We had no clue that we should the tooth in milk or the try and set it back in ourselves. Finally  the oral surgeon came in and she was wonderful, they had to clean and scrape the tooth, clean and scrap the gum and then put the tooth back in the gaping hole. Because he cut his gum so badly we has metal braces holding the tooth in and also a few stitches  on his gum to close the hole. Now we wait and see if the nerves grow back in and the ligaments fuse together. We will be seeing alot of the dentist over the next two months. So if your parent please please follow the list above and hopefully if this ever happenes to you, you can prevent the pain and numerous surgery's  that we couldn't.

walmart lavender detergent

I was trying to slim down our laundry budget and i chose to buy the walmart brand lavender laundry detergent. Let em say I do not liek this detergent. It just doesnt feel like it gets my clothing clean, left a slight residue on my jeans and skirts. If it would of been a good fit for my family then it would of cut down my bill a few dollars, but since i had to wash the items twice i ended spending more on this detergent. Has anyone else tried this product and had diofferent results?

lactose intolerent ?

So  I am now on the hunt for dairy free items for my 9 year old that taste good and are still healthy for him. I never realized how many of are day to day items have dairy in them. Any ideas ? please share.
