Primitive Mommy

Congratulations to Danielle Rutkowski, the winner of this giveaway!!

I’m so excited to announce this giveaway! eartheasy has provided Primitive Mommy with a Lifestraw to give away to one lucky reader. If you haven’t heard of Lifestraw, it is one of the coolest inventions to come across my radar for a long time. Why is it so important? This simple invention is providing clean water to those less fortunate who live where the water supply isn’t clean. An estimated 884 million people in  the world still use unimproved  sources of drinking water. This lack  of access to safe drinking water contributes to diarrheal diseases worldwide, particularly affecting the young, the  immunocompromised and the poor. Almost one in five child deaths – about  1.5 million each year – is due to diarrhea. According to UNICEF and WHO, diarrhea kills more young  children than AIDS, malaria and measles combined. Approximately  43% of the global population is deprived of  household, safe piped water.

Lifestraw’s can also benefit those fortunate enough to have clean water because it is ideal for camping or even carrying in a purse or car for emergencies. We love ours! I keep mine in my car for emergencies and can’t wait to try it while hiking!

From eartheasy’s website:

“The LifeStraw personal water filter, the “Best Invention of the Year” (Time magazine, 2005), enables users to drink water safely from contaminated water sources. LifeStraw is ideal for homeowners during emergencies such as local flooding which can contaminate drinking water supplies. LifeStraw is also ideal for campers and hikers who may be drinking from rivers or lakes and are unsure of the water safety. Because LifeStraw is lightweight and compact, it is also great for travelers who do not want to rely on the quality of local water.

The two super lucky winners of a teether from Zúbky are Katie Priebe and Nikki Pfohl. Thanks ladies!

Zúbky is generously sponsoring a very special giveaway for us, of two Natural Sensory Teething Zúbky Necklaces for Nursing Breastfeeding Babywearing Mamas.  That’s right I have two of them to give to the winners! Let me tell you they are even more beautiful in person! A little background about the company from their site:

Are you wondering what in the world Zúbky means?  Let us shed some light on that for you!  “Zúbky” means “teething” in Slovakian. We selected this name as a tribute to Natalie’s heritage.  Her paternal great-grandmother was an immigrant from Slovakia.

Zúbky is a collaborative effort rooted in eco-conscious, natural parenting and grown with love.  We work together as a husband-wife team and love the quality time Zúbky allows us to spend with each other and our children.

The highlight of each Zúbky is a natural, handcrafted wood teething ring. From there, the possibilities are endless… Vibrantly colored sensory beads in a rainbow of hues with various textures adorn each thoughtfully designed Zúbky teething necklace, while upcycled fabric in various designs and textures embellish the natural teething rings.  For an extra special added touch, your little one’s name can…

The two winners of this give away will each get ONE Natural Sensory Teething Zúbky Necklace for Nursing Breastfeeding Babywearing Mamas
