Caring for Coen on-line raffle rules and guidelines #caringforcoen
I am so excited to be able to bring you guys some really awesome prizes for this on-line raffle.
All together, we have over a thousand dollars worth of prizes to be raffled off!
I am going to go over some guidelines here so that you are clear on the rules of the on-line raffle, and will understand how the raffle will work
There will be a few mandatory entry requirements (varying from prize pack to prize pack). These mandatory entries do not give you extra entries into the prize packs, but make you eligible to enter to win.
First, for all prize packs, you must be a public follower of my blog via Google Friend Connect. There may also be mandatory entries associated with each prize pack (basically becoming a fan of the sponsor on Facebook, and/or following on Twitter). Note, these do not give you extra entries, but make you eligible to win that specific prize pack. It's our way of saying thank you to the sponsors for making all of this happen!
You MUST leave your e-mail address with each comment on the blog, in order to win.
To purchase tickets:
1. Send your payment to ljcrowson@yahoo.com via Paypal.
How to make a payment via paypal:
1. Set up a paypal account (it's free) by going to www.paypal.com
2. Add funds to your account.
3. When you are ready to purchase your tickets, click on 'send money'
4. Put in the e-mail address (ljcrowson@yahoo.com) *when sending money, please click on the 'personal' tab and click on 'gift' that way no one is charged a Paypal fee!
If you sent $5.00, that gives you 5 'tickets' or comments.
How to redeem your tickets:
Simply go to the prize pack you are wanting to use your raffle tickets for. Comment under that blog post for the amount of tickets you'd like to use.
For instance, if I want to use all 5 of my tickets, I would comment like so:
1st comment: "Ticket #1 including my e-mail (and my paypal e-mail if it is different)"
2nd comment: "Ticket #2 including my e-mail (and my paypal e-mail if it is different)"
3rd comment: "Ticket #3 including my e-mail (and my paypal e-mail if it is different)"
4th comment: "Ticket #4 including my e-mail (and my paypal e-mail if it is different)"
5th comment: "Ticket #5 including my e-mail (and my paypal e-mail if it is different)"
*NOTE purchasing 5 tickets does not give you 5 entries into all the prize packs, but gives you 5 entries total! You decide where they go. You can put them all towards one prize pack, or use one comment for 5 different prize packs!
Please note that your name and e-mail address must be posted, in each comment. If your e-mail address for paypal is different than the one you wish to use to be notified (if you are a winner) you must leave both! I will have to verify payment through paypal that the payment was made.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me angela_heffner at yahoo dot com
The raffle will run from 1 August 12:00 AM (EST) to 14 August 11:59 PM (EST).
Please note, each raffle ticket can be used for one entry only, NOT one entry per prize pack!
You ideally could spend $10.00 and walk away with a prize worth over $100.00
Good Luck and have fun!!

AMP Hemp Fitted Diaper review!
Have you heard of AMP diapers? AMP diapers are made in Canada and I had never had the chance to try one until recently. AMP graciously sent me their hemp fitted diaper, I chose size large.
This is what I received:
AMP Hemp fitted diapers are made of two body layers of hemp fleece (55% hemp/45% cotton) plus an additional layer of internal soaker making three layers of absorbency in the diaper body. An extra three-layer hemp fleece doubler is included with each diaper. A two-part diapering system drastically reduces drying times! Soft stretchy elastic gathers at the legs and the back for a great leak-proof fit! Hemp fleece is a nice stretchy fabric that will gently hug your baby. It’s a fantastic fabric for diapers as it’s very absorbent and durable, plus it has antimicrobial properties. High quality resin snaps for ease of use and durability. AMP hemp fitted diapers are very trim fitting and absorbent! Available in two sizes for a great fit from birth to potty learning. Hemp grows with much less need for water and pesticides which means it's not only better for baby but better for the environment as well! Hemp is also much more durable than cotton which means if you're planning on diapering more than one baby hemp is a great choice! All our hemp products are made of pre-washed hemp fleece to minimize shrinkage on finished products.
Small fits approx 8 - 15lbs
Large fits approx 15 - 35lbs
I used this diaper on my 3 yo son. He is a very HEAVY wetter at night. Though we are potty training, he is still not wearing underwear at night time.
This diaper worked great. I love that its made of hemp!
The size large fits approximately 15-35 lbs. My 3 yo is 33 lbs and as you can see from the picture below, it fit him just right! (He is really close to the max weight for this diaper).
This is the same diaper on my 17 month old:
The hemp fleece doubler that comes with the diaper is unlike any I have ever used before. All of the other hemp fitteds I have tried have doublers that snap in. At first I thought this was a bit strange, that the doubler didn't snap to the diaper, but it worked just fine and was nice not to have to unsnap the urine soaked doubler from the diaper when it was time to wash it!
AMP was kind enough to provide this diaper for my review. They also sponsored Blog Bash 2011!
I would really recommend this diaper to those of you with heavy wetters at night. I find that fitted diapers (hemp are my favorite) paired with a wool cover is the only thing that has worked for us for night time!
AMP also makes some other really great diapers!
One Size Duo
All-in-two
AMP Duo Pocket
Stay-Dry AIO's
Hemp Fitted
Original Pockets
Inserts and Flats
They also carry a slew of accessories to include pail liners, wet bags, washable wipes and stay dry liners!
The prices are reasonable as well! I would really love to try the AMP One-Size Duo, or the AMP duo pocket next!!
Have you tried an AMP diaper?
Feel free to comment here on this post and share your thoughts!
A huge thank you to AMP for sponsoring this review and for being a sponsor of Blog Bash 2011!

Let me introduce you to great friend Laura, and her family #caringforcoen
I would like to take a moment to introduce you to my best friend Laura.
Laura and I have known each other since middle school. We both grew up in Oregon. While growing up, I considered Laura's mom (Linda) my 'second mom' because I was always at Laura's house, and Linda always treated me like I was one of her own! Laura also has a younger sister (Nerissa). Nerissa and I used to go to private, Christian school together, and were in the same grade. Laura, however is a few years older than me.
In 1997 Laura and I went on a missions trip to Wales. We ended up going back there after the missions trip to attend Bible College. I stayed one year, and Laura stayed 2!
Soon after coming back from Wales, I joined the Army. I served 5 years active duty and during this time, I met and married my husband of 8 years, Troy!
Laura returned from Bible college and I was living out of state serving in the Army. Laura moved to Tennessee, because that is where God was calling her to serve.
While living in Tennessee, Laura met Andy. They fell in love and were married.
Laura gave birth to Coen, her first son in August 2006. I can remember how happy I was for her when she told me she was expecting. I also couldn't help but feel a bit sad. You see, at this time, I believed I could not have children (little did I know that God had other plans)!
Shortly after Laura had Coen, Troy (who is currently serving in the Army) and I were reassigned to Maryland. So we packed up our two cats, one dog and a fish, and drove from Oklahoma to Maryland.
On the way to Maryland we stopped in Tennessee and I met Coen. He was such a stinkin' cute baby!
I was so happy for her and her little family.
Shortly after arriving in Maryland, I found I was pregnant with my first son, Aaron.
I was filled with joy! God was faithful indeed!
In February of 2010 Coen was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)!
When Laura told me, I was heartbroken. The news shot through me like an arrow through my heart. Part of the reason for that was the simple fact that her and I grew up together, and that Coen and Aaron were so close in age.
When you are young and carefree, you feel so indestructible, invincible. Then you grow up, get married, have kids and the responsibility creeps in. I regard my family as the most precious things to me in this universe!
When something happens to one of your children, its like your world crumbles around you.
But wait a minute here, even though I feel this is my story as much as it is Laura's, I will let her tell it to you in her own words!
Let me introduce you to my dear friend Laura and her precious family:
Left to right, Coen, Andy, Laura, and Rylee
Here is Laura's story, in her own words:
"Caring for Coen… A family’s journey with an autistic child.
This is the story of my family (me, Laura), my husband Andy, our 4 year old son Coen, and of course Rylee our 2 year old daughter. This is the story of how the diagnosis of “Autism” changed our lives forever. When Coen had just turned 2-1/2 yrs old, we noticed that his speech seemed a bit delayed. Coen being our first child, we really had no idea at what rate a typical 2 year old should develop. At a ‘routine’ appointment, Coen’s pediatrician suggested we have him tested for speech delays. In the midst of the testing, several other tests were done to rule out other possibilities.
In February of 2010, our son Coen (at the age of 3) was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
That has been a year and a half ago. I have walked this road for some time now and have come to realize, while a common thread exists among parents of autistic children, each has had a different path to find. Even as the number of cases continues to rise, there still seems to be no clear cut solution to indicate what a family must do when faced with such challenges. We made a decision to find Coen the help that he needed; regardless of where that would take us. Because we lived in the country, the resources that Coen needed were not readily available. The closest place that I found that could take Coen right away was 2-1/2 hours away. There were a few that were a little closer but there was lengthy waiting lists for most of the places and then they could only see him for 1-2 hours a week. I knew we just couldn’t wait any longer and I was certainly not going to settle for 2 hours when I knew he needed as many as he could stand. I left out on Mondays with the kids and returned on Thursdays, only to work for two days, see Andy and then do it all again the following week. We had to stay in a hotel during the week because we still had a house in West Tennessee. It was only after one year of travelling back and forth that we were able to rent a home closer to Coen’s therapy center. After many miles and many nights in a hotel, my son has made progress and my daughter is now a well seasoned traveller.
Coen has been in intensive therapy in Nashville, Tennessee, for over a year and a half. His progress has been remarkable, but he still has a long way to go. CoenCoen will be enrolled in a pre- k class consisting of typical and special needs children. While school will become a new addition to his busy schedule, he will continue to have several hours of therapy per week. This will help Coen learn to function in everyday situations.
Studies have shown that early intervention can result in a better chance for these children to live productive lives. Funding varies from state to state and in most cases has to be paid out of pocket for those seeking effective therapy. Doctors suggest at least 20 hours of therapy per week but the reality is that many families can only afford a fraction of that. The financial burden can be overwhelming for those parents who choose aggressive treatment options. For our family, many sacrifices have been made, but the reward has been seeing Coen slowly put things together piece by piece.
With the necessary support and guidance, Coen will be able to have a happy future. Until a breakthrough happens in the research of this disorder, families must rely on the support of those who are able to lock arms in the fight for the minds of these precious children.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your prayers and support for our family!"
How many of you have been directly effected by Autism? Maybe you have a child that is autistic, a niece, nephew or brother? Autism is a very challenging disorder. I know that by entering in an on-line raffle, we are not going to find a cure, but I do believe that if we all pull together, we can help out this one family facing financial crisis. We can help provide Coen with the future he so richly deserves!
By participating in the upcoming on-line raffle #caringforcoen (beginning in August), you will be helping to relieve the financial burden this family is currently facing!
100% of the proceeds will go directly to Laura and her family!
Thank you all for following my blog!

Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted Diaper Review AND Duo Fab Fitted AND Duo Wrap GIVEAWAY!!
This is what I received:
I mean, super, silky soft! Most hemp inserts are a bit rough, and if lined dried, they get hard and stiff. These hemp inserts felt soft and pliable (note they still needed to be prepped)!
I was unsnapping the diaper and noticed that there was a rip in the fabric surrounding one of the snaps!
Thirsties is a great company. This is the second review I have been privileged to do for them. I have also reviewed their duo wrap diapers and hemp prefolds. That review can be seen here!
You know what (in my opinion) makes this diaper so unique? Is the fact that there is a 'tunnel' on the inside of this diaper which allows you to add an extra insert to increase the absorbency!
My plan for this diaper was to use it on my 1 yo son at night, with a wool cover over top!
My plan was a success! This diaper works perfectly at night. I have used it on both boys during the day and at night. I have used it on my 3 yo heavy wetter at night with a wool cover, and no leaks!
This is the diaper on my 1 yo:
Here is the diaper under a Tiny Tush wool cover:
(The following information taken from the Thirsties website)
"The internal soaker is composed of spongy microfiber terry that can absorb up to seven times its weight in liquid! A maximum absorbency of 18 oz. makes this diaper appropriate for both light and heavy wetters alike. There is a tunnel behind the soaker which allows for stuffing additional absorbency, and for better washing and quicker drying."
How awesome is that? This diaper really does soak it all up. I love the fact too that you can add one of their hemp inserts for extra protection!
You can purchase the Duo Fab Fitted diaper for $17.00. You can click here to find a retailer near you!
Or you can win one here!
Thirsties has generously offered one LWML follower a Duo Fab Fitted diaper in choice of size, color and closure, and a Duo Wrap in choice of size, color and closure!!

Caring for Coen! On-line raffle sponsor spotlights!!
Awhile back I briefly told you all about an online raffle that I was planning to help out a dear friend in need. My best friend (from middle school) Laura's son Coen who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder back in 2010. Since his diagnosis, the family has been sacrificing in order to get the therapy Coen needs.
*More information about Laura, and her family will be posted this weekend, so stay tuned. You don't want to miss the story of her incredible journey!
Right now I would like to tell you all a bit more about the raffle I am planning, and to give you a little sneak peek of the great prizes up for grabs!
I am going to be offering some great prizes (and a few prize packs) for you to win.
Raffle tickets will be sold for $1.00 a piece. Each ticket is worth one entry. $1.00=1 entry to be used towards one item up for grabs!
I will have separate posts of each item offered. You simply use your tickets as comments on the post of the item you wish to win.
For instance, I am going to be offering a Fuzzi Bunz one size diaper in Mac N' Cheese. Let's say that you want to purchase 5 tickets ($5.00) towards winning that diaper. You would send your $5.00 paypal payment to (Laura, the e-mail address will be posted with each raffle item). You would then comment under the Fuzzi Bunz diaper like so:
1st comment: "Ticket #1 including my e-mail (and my paypal e-mail if it is different)"

Does this make sense?
Please note that your name and e-mail address must be posted. If your e-mail address for paypal is different than the one you wish to use to be notified (if you are a winner) you must leave both! I will have to verify payment through paypal that the payment was made.

I plan to 'introduce' you to Laura and her family this weekend by posting her bio on the blog.
So make yourself a nice cuppa tea and come back this weekend to 'meet' Laura and her family, the inspiration behind this raffle!

*More information about Laura, and her family will be posted this weekend, so stay tuned. You don't want to miss the story of her incredible journey!
Right now I would like to tell you all a bit more about the raffle I am planning, and to give you a little sneak peek of the great prizes up for grabs!
I am going to be offering some great prizes (and a few prize packs) for you to win.
Raffle tickets will be sold for $1.00 a piece. Each ticket is worth one entry. $1.00=1 entry to be used towards one item up for grabs!
I will have separate posts of each item offered. You simply use your tickets as comments on the post of the item you wish to win.
For instance, I am going to be offering a Fuzzi Bunz one size diaper in Mac N' Cheese. Let's say that you want to purchase 5 tickets ($5.00) towards winning that diaper. You would send your $5.00 paypal payment to (Laura, the e-mail address will be posted with each raffle item). You would then comment under the Fuzzi Bunz diaper like so:
