Washing Hands

Now they are saying that washing your hands is not going to help prevent the swine flu.  I think it is still a good idea and a good practice to wash your hands because there are still germs on them.  Viruses are airborne though so that is why essential oils are great to have in…

Vitamin D

In many cases doing things in moderation will be not only effective but beneficial. Bananas are great once a day but if you have 5 a day…that could be a problem. Something that is so good for you can end up being toxic. Same thing with water…you want to stay hydrated but if you drink…

Swine Flu Paranoia

When it comes to the swine flu I think that many parents are scrambling and worrying that it is going to hit their town and affect their lives directly. It is a scary thought but then there is also the vaccine to think about. These faccines were made or in production 6 months ago so…

Baby Room

Decorating your babies room can be the most fun you will have, untill of course your baby makes an appearence. Your imagination is the limit when it comes to decorating baby’s room, with a particular theme, or no theme. I liked subtle colors, and light colored furniture. I love crib mobiles, and the room can…

Mealtime

Times have changed and some things for the better and some for the worse. My grandfather forbid his children to talk at the table. This is not a good practice, in my opinion. I am sure he had his reasons, but I can’t think of any for myself or my family. Mealtime should always be…

Refreshing Drinks For Kids

In the summer there is nothing better than a cool refreshing drinks, and the kids know it! As a parent I don’t like to give soda to the kids, because of the large amounts of sugar, and caffeine. The sugar just stays on their teeth and starts tooth decay. Water is a drink that will…

Discipline

Are children “spoiled”, it you give them too many things? Things they want, or enjoy having. My own opinion on this is no. The way a child ends up being “spoiled”, is by demanding what they want, and by the parent giving in, because they don’t care. You are teaching the child to get everything…

Terrible Twos? I Don’t Think So

I raised 3 children, and now have 3 grandchildren that I take care of when my daughter goes to work part time. It has been my observation, that two years old is great, it is the time before two that is hard. By two years old, your child gets what you are saying, they are…

Saving Money Shopping For Childrens Clothes

I do not love Wal Mart, but I like the prices of kids clothes. Kids grow out of clothes in as little as 6 months. Why spend a lot on clothes, it is like throwing money away, unless you can hand it down to a sibling or friend. Wal Mart is back to selling the…
